sPHENIX tracking discussion

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

Hi All,

Assuming that everyone is back from travel, it would be good to have a tracking meeting this Friday (September 30).

This will be the first post-tracking-review meeting, so we should focus on moving forward on the design of the tracker. 

Jin is planning to have a simulation meeting dedicated to tracking software improvements in the near future. At the tracking meeting on Friday it would be good to focus on what we need to do to make the representation of the tracker in G4 more realistic, so that we can really evaluate in simulations what we plan to build.

A big step forward would be a detailed layout of the silicon strip intermediate tracker. This would allow us to properly implement the ladder geometry for the INTT in simulations, as we move to the new software that will allow us to track through it. But it is not worth implementing the geometry in G4 unless we think it is reasonably stable. Can we discuss this on Friday?

It would be good to also hear reports on progress for all three tracking systems if possible. Please let me know.

Thanks

Tony
