Gauss Planning

List of implemented or foreseen changes and open issues.

Next release DC06 compatible: Gauss v25r7, if/when necessary

 

Gauss Development:

Gauss v26r5 pre-release in $LHCBDEV, updated with latest LHCb/Gaudi (Gloria)

Identical to Gauss v25r5 but compiled with newer version of external generator libraries: update to Gauss v26r6 identical to Gauss v25r6? Only if it will be used!

- LHAPDF 5_2_2 set in GENSER v1r141p1, in $LHCBDEV

 

Gauss v30r1 based on Geant4_v81r0p2 and latest versions of Generators packages built in NEW

 

Worklist/Issues (not in order of priority):

Tasks Task/Description Responsible Package(s) Status DC06 compatible
Generators Check if new version of LHAPDF can be used in DC06, requires Gauss built with it in DEV Vincenzo   Gauss built in DEV To be checked
Framework Separate better Generation and Simulation phases Gloria Gauss   Yes
Framework Build Gauss in DEV with new LHAPDF library Gloria GENSER GaussSys done  
Generators Introduce protection when EventType not set in options? Patrick, Gloria   Check with Joel for production Yes
Generators Hidden valley new generators. New packages based on Pythia, requires modifications in LbPythia. Also requires changes in script of DecFiles and new event types. New Gauss executable as for other generators Vanya LbHidValley    LbPythia in CVS Yes
Framework Fix overlaps in beam pipe Gloria XmlDDDB   Yes
Generators & Framework Particle gun for optical photons requested by Antonis ParticleTable GaussKine ParticleGuns   Yes
Geant4 Brems vertices investigation (report from Herve) reported by Herve     Yes
Geant4 MS investigation and MCHit Jereon Geant 8.1 p02   No
Geometry Modify Geometry GiGa converters for alignment, requires service for PVolume->DetectorElement Gloria GiGaCnv    
Framework Use of InstallArea Florence   in NEW  
Framework Build of Geant4_v8r1p2 Florence   in NEW No
Framework Build of Gauss v30rX with G4 8.1.p02 Florence Gloria     No
Simulation Use of physics list with different MS Gloria GaussPhysics (G4hadlists ?)   No
Simulation Handling of multiple steps in single sensitive layer Gloria GaussTracker   May be
General Ganga scripts to run Gauss jobs Chris J. Gloria Gauss/job in Chris area Yes
General Ganga job splitter for Gauss Andrew M Ganga in progress Yes
Generators Options for pilot run for beam gas with Hijing ? LbHijing   Yes
Generators Integration of beam halo source at cavern from machine Magnus New package in progress Yes
Detectors Description of BCM Magnus XmlDDDB and options in Gauss in progress Special studies
