sPHENIX discussion of software

["Frawley, Anthony" <afrawley AT fsu.edu>]

Hi All,

I have created two macros for testing the performance of a single layer of 
reconfigured PHENIX pixels combined with a single layer of maps pixels. At 
present the configuration uses an outer tracker of 4 maps layers, since that 
is what we have working at the moment. I have committed them to:

https://github.com/adfrawley/macros/tree/QTG_macros/macros/g4simulations
G4_Svtx_1maps+1pixel+4mapsouter.C
G4_Svtx_1pixel+1maps+4mapsouter.C

These are intended to replace the Svtx macro (e.g. G4_Svtx_maps_7layers.C) 
loaded in G4Setup_sPHENIX.C.

I have tested them with single Upsilons and Upsilons embedded in central 
Hijing events, and the configuration seems to work reasonably well. I will 
try to quantify that in some slides tomorrow.

Of course this inner tracker configuration needs to be tested with the TPC as 
the outer tracker when that is ready.

Cheers
Tony
