Minutes : Florence Ranjard
1. SICB status report (A.Jacholkowska)
There are presently 2 versions of SICB on test:
- SICB v119 which contains the detector optimizations
- to test it on Linux and NT the new field map in ascii format is required
- Andrei should build it today.
- SICB v200 test version which runs with QQ and Pythia625 contains the physics
optimization.
- problems son NT.
- unfortunately it crashes after 3000 events and we cannot restart SICB from the faulty
event.
- SICB v119 should be released next week
- Florence will release SICB v200 under CMT next week.
- and then will build the official SICB v219 merging v119 and v200 under CMT
===> when SICB v219 will be released, developpers should
work with CMT.
2. Followup of LCB meeting preparation (F.Harris)
Frank rembered us that various groups should be prepared to give the LHCb position to
the raporters.
This position should be presented to the LHCb collaboration at the Computing meeting
held on 25 August.
3. Geant4 status report (on behalf of
I.Belyaev)
- Ivan has installed GEANT4 version 00-01 (the so-called May released) on LHCb disk:
- $LHCBHOME/geant4/Geant4.01
- Ivan has also tried to run a Geant4 example in the Gaudi framework : it was working but
the implementation
was rather crude.
- He will work with the Gaudi team to make a better implementation.
- He will then work on the kinematics implementation.
5. A.O.B
Tony Cass announced that lsbatch should be there next week.
