sPHENIX tracking discussion

[Anthony Frawley <afrawley AT fsu.edu>]

Hi All,

There are 6 posters on tracking software scheduled for QM2023. These are:

Michael Peters   - Track seeding in sPHENIX

Zhongling Ji        - TPC clustering with a ML algorithm

Joe Osborn         - Track reconstruction (overview poster)

Reese Boucher  - Alignment of the sPHENIX tracking detectors

Tony Frawley     - Vertex determination in sPHENIX

Jaeyun Kim        - MVTX internal alignment with AI-ML approach

The schedule for preparing plots for posters is tight:

-- Analysis notes by August 17 for new simulation results (document the provenance of the plots, where the data are)

-- Posters in Invenio ready for review by August 24

In the tracking software meeting this morning, we came up with the following proposed schedule:

1) By Friday night, post to sphenix-tracking-l a list of plots expected to be included in posters

2) Show all plots at the next tracking software meeting (August 16 at 9:30 am)

3) Discuss each poster draft at the tracking software meeting on August 23.

Hopefully this will allow all of the poster authors to know what the other poster presenters are planning to show, so we can avoid unnecessary duplication.

Keep in mind that we will need a standard set of performance plots that will be used in talks at QM2023, as well as in posters.

Cheers

Tony
