sPHENIX MAPS tracker discussion

["Huang, Jin" <jhuang AT bnl.gov>]

Hi, Everyone

As promised from meeting of last week, the INTT dead map based on PHENIX FVTX 
experience has been implemented and will show up in today's software build. 
To run it, please enable the dead map by pulling commits from this branch on 
the task force macro repository: 
https://github.com/sPHENIX-Collaboration/macrosIDTF/compare/SiDeadMap?expand=1
 

By default, there are two sets of dead maps, emulating emulating 4% and 8% 
dead sensor+chip+strips in INTT respectively. Thanks for Tony for running the 
verification test. Also welcome more discussion on the next simulation 
meeting on this too: https://indico.bnl.gov/event/4030/ 

Cheers

Jin
