sPHENIX tracking discussion

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

Hi All,

There will be a tracking meeting on Friday March 10 at 9:00 am ET that will be focused on the upgrades to the tracking software that we discussed at the simulations meeting on Tuesday. We had 8 people volunteer during or after that meeting to work on upgrades to the tracking software, and this tracking meeting is aimed at getting that work started.

The topics that will be addressed are:

1) Replacing the pattern recognition. The current pattern recognition results in poor performance of the tracker, and is very slow. Christof had a proposal at the sims meeting for how to replace it.

2) We need to implement charge sharing for the MAPS detector.

3) We need the cluster precision problem for the INTT fixed (Gaku has committed a fix) and the results evaluated.

4) There has been good progress on the TPC simulation. Carlos will show slides on that.

Our goal will be to come out of the meeting with a well defined path to completion, with names attached to all asks.

Cheers

Tony
