sPHENIX discussion of software

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

Hi, Chris,

Thank you for producing this new batch of simulation, and reorganizing the 
macro and output folder. I am eager to dig through them to try out the new QA 
modules. However, I bump into a problem that the absorber nodes was not 
saved. 

For these 1k single particle simulations, shall we save the absorber hits? 
Complete G4 info in these small sample of data allow us to quantify detailed 
Geant4 performance. Larger specific samples can live without the absorber 
hits (or save towers only). 

Cheers

Jin
