Dear all,

I want to let everybody know that I've committed today the code for time-based EMC digitization by Jifeng Hu.

From my side I would like to comment that he changed the algorithm used for pulseshape analysis used by default to PndEmcPSAFPGADigitalFilterAnalyser and as a result the energy calibration for EMC cluster is not so good anymore
which affects in turn PndPidCandidate::GetEmcCalEnergy()
and calibration still should be redone.

Dima

P.S. The warning about shadow declaration appeared in initial commit is already fixed.

Dear Dima,

Recent problem quoted below is caused by EMC and may be an effect of your last commit, can you have a look?

Hello ..

I have also run old macro inside the folder /macro/mvd/TimeOrderedSim getting same problem.

From my side I can say that I cannot reproduce this error
running

/pandaroot/macro/mvd/TimeOrderedSim$ root -l run_sim_sttcombi_dpm.C

and

/pandaroot/macro/mvd/TimeOrderedSim$ root -l Mvd_Sim.root


I tried with rev. 21586

Is it possible that the error appears only on event-based macros and not in time-based ones? With macro/run macro I can see the message, no idea if it is harmful or not.

I do not see it either with macros from macro/run.

Could it be due to different external package version?
I use sep12.

It might be, at least I am using APR13, and this is the official externals now.
Can you try your code with APR13?

Just want to mention that I tried apr13 external packages and I still do not see that error. Strange...

A philosophical question:
the time-based simulation for emc is based on the readout for PWO. From the code I would assume that the implemented classes work also for the FSC, but is it realistic? Or does the FSC need a different code?

Hi Dima,
I put several cout in the code, and I realized that the message is produced not by PndEmc, but by the PndEmcHitProducer, in particular calling the constructor. I hope this information can help somehow. I was not able to understand what is really the problem.

Hi Stefano,

Since I cannot reproduce the error it's difficult to debug it,
but can you try now (rev. 21696)?

I did it already with the last trunk. The message is not at the beginning but in the middle, before Init.
If you have a previous paramere file (you don't remove simparams.root), then you can see the message also at the beginning. But in reality it happens later in the macro:

EvtGen:Redefined decay of J/psi
EvtGen:Given allowed decays, resetting minMass pbarpSystem 1.48 to 3.37581
EvtGen:Reading /Users/spataro/apr13/pandaroot/macro/run/psi2s_Jpsi2pi_Jpsi_mumu.dec to override decay table.

I do not see it nor at the begining, not in the place you have it.

But can you try one more time (rev. 21697)?

The same with Linux.
In reality before I had commented out PndEmc. This is the reason why I was not seeing such effect from PndEmc but from PndEmcHitProducer.

Hi Dima,
I did a minimal macro (attached) to see which one produce the error. You can see that it is only the PndEmc constructor... very strange.
And putting some cout inside the PndEmc.cxx, it seems it is the cosntructor call, before the fEmcCollection = new TConesArray("PndEmcPoint"); I removed this line, and I can see still the error.

Toggle Spoiler



I did something simpler, calling the cosnteructor from the root prompt:

spataro@briareos:~/apr13/trunk/macro$ root -l
root [0] PndEmc *pippo1
Error in <TClonesArray::SetClass>: called with a null pointer
root [1] PndEmc *pippo2
root [2] PndEmc *pippo3
root [3] 


The first constructor gives the error, the second not. But I cannot see anything in PndEmc which access to global stuff.

Hi Stefano,

Since I do not see this error, I cannot check it myself, but can you try in PndEmc constructor
to put
fEmcCollection(0)
(line 59 and line 71)
instead of
fEmcCollection()

this static pointer PndEmcDigi::fDigiArrayTBD; is used in time-based reconstruction as a shared buffer which hold the digis not belong to current event in order to be reused in reconstruction in next event.

if all would like to remove that error message, I agree remove this pointer and use another solution.

By the way, I made no any changes on PndEmc for MC simulation, the results should be completely same as results simulated in previous version when random seeds are same.

The static object is called once you call the emc library, then the first time you use an emc class (i.e. PndEmc).
Another kind of solution would be preferred, I believe.
