sPHENIX discussion of software

Hi Tony,

Hits are TrkrHit(v1) from "trackbase". Only counted are those that have a charge (get_adc()) above threshold

My understanding (correct me if I am wrong) is that the max number of such hits per layer is NPHiBins x NZBins in this layer. Which would correspond to 100% occupancy. Did I miss something ?

        Question: what is the definition of a "hit"?

Subject: [Sphenix-software-l] Occupancy in the TPC

 

Hi all,

Following up on a question from Christof last week, I looked into the
TPC occupancy in the newly 100kHz Pile-up Hijing files derived from the
ones produces by Chris.

The results are summarized in the file attached. And could be discussed
e.g in the next simulation and software meeting.

I wanted to post them early because as you will see the occupancies I
get with these new files are significantly smaller than those obtained
with older files from Christof, and I have not been able to find the
reason for this yet.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

(in particular: Christof, could you point me to the macros used to
generate/reconstruct the files at
"/sphenix/user/bogui/MacrosModular/macros/macros/g4simulations/clus_only/SvtxCluHijMBPu100_Mar20_1_*"
? that would help me debug further)
