sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[Chris Pinkenburg <pinkenburg AT bnl.gov>]

Tony gave a summary about the next steps in terms of tracking, what to look for in terms of performance criteria. So far we have looked at efficiency and fakes and momentum resolution for the upsilons, dca needs to be added for b-jets. Mike and Tony will sit together to hash out a spread sheet.

Mike added 4 more options to our loadable configurations for the tracking (pixel/maps for inner tracking with strips/tpc for outer). While at it we decided to use a 1.4T field instead of 1.5T which is closer to he plan for the magnet.

Changes in the truth table to be committed now sped up the code by 40%, but this will break backward compatibility with our preCDR sims. We need to rerun a sample for ongoing studies and need a list of what to run. The old sims are readable when using the pro build.

Timescale for a round of new sims to look into our tracking options is end of December (we need to get to get the calorimeters up to snuff again, fake rejection using the calorimeters would be desirable).

DB backend for calibrations still not working.

Hi folks,

just a reminder for tomorrows simulations meeting. Tony wants to talk about the tracking and we have the usual flurry of "what's new in github". Who knows, maybe pdbcal can talk to us in 64 bits by then.

See/Talk to you tomorrow

Chris
