Forthcoming updates

(after the SICB meeting during the LHCb software week on November 1, 2000)

Generators:

• Pileup of signal events correct as from v235r1 (P. Bartalini)
• New project: including pile-up and spill-over on PYTHIA level, built externally, as discussed in the physics meeting of 7 November 2000 (P. Bartalini + I. Korolko)
• A decay model, handled by QQ through a qqud_mydecay.F was provided as from v235r1 (P. Koppenburg).

Vertex detector:

• New geometry (25 stations, Al RF shield, ...) exists in v234 (T. Ruf)
• Future: improved simulation of charge distribution, correlated noise, algorithms for common mode corrections (M. Mccubbin)

Outer & inner tracker:

• New segmentation: 4 sectors, instead of only entry/exit points
• New banks: WORW, WIRW
• increase in cpu time (50%) and eventsize (>600 kbytes) (M. Merk)

CALOs:

• Real cells in GEANT simulation (I. Korolko)
• small changes in TDR geometry
• new RAWH format

RICH:

• no major developments foreseen

Muons:

• geometry new muon.cdf, new chamber geometry + materials (frames) added to SICBMC v235 (K. Harrison)
• background re-evaluated - to be debugged in SICBMC v235
• MURW: 5 stations (5 partitions)
• new digitization: mudg.cdf, chamber response murp.cdf
• special treatment of spill-over and dead time

Trigger:

• support for pile-up and spillover at generator level (H. Dijkstra)
• no re-use of mbias events for pileup (E. van Herwijnen)
• AXTRIGGER to be retuned with correct signal pileup in redone DST2's (H. Dijkstra)

SICBMC v236:

• new RICH, new VELO, new MUON (as in previous versions) plus TOF in VELO

SICBDST v237:

• new RICH, new VELO, new MUON (as in previous versions) plus TOF in VELO, Kalman ready for pipe 4.0
