Hi All,

I could not join due to overlapping meetings. The plan is not to "merge" the two, but only to make a single geometry tag that has both up-to-date. 

The Silicon and sTGGC will be different geometry definitions so that they can be independent of each other. The new sTGC geometry is already independent of the Si, I just need a little time to make a geometry "tag" that has both up-to-date geometries.

Thanks and good work Te-Chuan, it looks good. 

Best,

Daniel

Hi Te-Chuan,

Nice work.

On the last slide, do you know what the motivation is  to merge FST and sTGC geometries? I think it is better to keep them separated, same for the simulators, so that one can update the FST or sTGC software without worrying about affecting the other one, or how to keep the code synchronized. This is what we did for HFT, with PXL/IST/SSD separated. I brought this idea up of separating FST and sTGC in the simulation software at a forward upgrade meeting about half a year (?) ago, and Daniel Brandenburg (cc’ed) certainly supported it and agreed to do the splitting for the simulators

Best,
Zhenyu
