      Hi Hugo,
      
      I didn't have the G4Setup_sPHENIX.C (no surprise - that one is not
      centrally installed). And yes - tons of errors (which I also see
      in the mdc2 running). But then jobA bombs out at the 9th event
      with:
      
/home/phnxbld/sPHENIX/gcc-8.3/new/source/coresoftware/offline/packages/trackreco/PHTpcClusterMover.cc:216:
      Failed to find surface for cluster 159314841113198673
       track fit failed for track 976
      
      in PHActsTrkFitter line 220:
            auto sourceLinks = getSourceLinks(track, measurements);
      
      where the debugger indicates the track is some initial value:
      (gdb) p track
      $1 = (
          std::tuple_element<1, std::pair<unsigned int const,
      SvtxTrack*> const>::type &) @0x39edc0b8:
      0x9999999999999999

That's news to me. Can you point me to the input file (s), so that I can reproduce ?

Chris,

I think you should be able to use the commonly installed ones, because all the required changes have been pushed already.

Do you get some crash/funny warnings ?

         Hi
          Hugo,
          
          there are local copies of G4 subsystem macros. Can I use the
          commonly installed ones or do I need special versions? And if
          so - where do I find those?

As discussed today, attached are Job0, JobA and JobC macros

As far as I can tell, they do not crash.

Few comments:

1/ Job A and Job C use an "empty" static distortion correction map, that is in one of my own directories:

"/phenix/u/hpereira/sphenix_workarea/g4simulations/distortion_maps_rec/distortion_corrections_empty.root"

It will have to be copied to $CALIBRATIONROOT

Chris ?

Tell me if you have any problem accessing the file.

2/ JobA and JobC keep writing the clusters and clusterCrossing assotiation in the output file. In principle this is not needed because they are already in the output of Job0.

3/ in both JobA and JobC, when turning on Distortion corrections (G4TPC::ENABLE_CORRECTIONS = true) I get *a lot* of warnings from the cluster mover of type:

/phenix/u/hpereira/sphenix/src/coresoftware/offline/packages/trackreco/PHTpcClusterMover.cc:216: Failed to find surface for cluster 158755189694660656
/phenix/u/hpereira/sphenix/src/coresoftware/offline/packages/trackreco/PHTpcClusterMover.cc:608: Error: TPC surface index not defined, skipping cluster!

even if the actual corrections are all zero.

I have no idea whether this affects our perfomances or not.

Tony: does that ring a bell ?

I'd suggest to run a first time with G4TPC::ENABLE_CORRECTIONS = false, to first see where we are with respect to the numbers shown by Tony at the last GM, then only turn it on.

4/ in the default G4_Tracking macro, when SC_CALIBMODE = true, there is a number of corrections and enlarged windows applied to the TPC-silicon matcher and the TPC-TPOT matcher. These are probably obsolete (especially since no distortion are applied per-se), and should be commented out. Tony ?

5/ even though the macros don't crash, I have not yet verified that the output actually make sense ... I'll do that next time I have a chance, running on a bunch of hits from upsilon, instead of Hijing.
