sPHENIX tracking discussion

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

Hi All,

I would like to focus in the tracking meeting tomorrow on preparations for the tracking review.

I made a list (below) of relevant topics that is likely not very complete. It would be good to expand it as needed, and to see where we stand on each item. Jin suggested that the MAPS ladder simulation would make the HF tagged jets case more convincing. We should discuss if we think this should be pursued for the review.

Cheers

Tony

Tracking prep for review
  Event pileup
      Event pileup generation
      Time dependence added in g4main and g4detector
      Revision of generator workflow, node storage in progress
      Needs multiple vertexing (RAVE)
  MAPS ladder code
      Completed code through creation of cell list
      Still need to update digitizer, live areas, thresholds, clustering
      Needs flexible tracker (GenFit)
      Need to make macro to run MAPS ladders + TPC
  TPC code developments
      Mike's rework of handling of uncertainties in TPC code should be done soon     
      What else is being done / needed on TPC code?
  TPC hardware
      How well do we understand the technical issues?
      What remains to be done before the tracking review?
      Cost and schedule status
  MAPS hardware
      How well do we understand the technical issues?
      What remains to be done before the tracking review?
      Cost and schedule status
  Intermediate tracker
      Do we need it to reconstruct pileup events?
         Has to be settled by simulations before tracking review
      What radius, configuration should it have to optimize performance?
      What effect does its thickness have on mass resolution?
         Being studied in cylinder cell geometry

Hi All,

We will have an sPHENIX tracking meeting at 9:00 am on Friday, July 22, at 9:00 am ET. The agenda page is:

In addition to the status of the ongoing efforts, we should review our preparations and plans for the tracking review in September - not so far away!

Cheers
