Review of minutes from the last meeting

We went over the minutes from December 1st. Zisis made a correction to the version of the minutes sent out via email: Tegan and Colleen Henschel were the ones that wrote the Geant4-based detailed simulation of the BCAL.

Issues on GitHub

Issue #111: Difference in Acceptance between G3 and G4: Colin is working through reviving his study. Tegan is on contact with Colin to get going himself.

Issue #167: G4 exceptions for certain run numbers:

Issue #179: Proton timing in the BCAL: Sean posted a new issue, looking deeper into the details of the BCAL simulation of incident hadrons. He led us through the issue. Some points from the discussion:

  • He looked at abundance of the various secondary particles in the simulation for hdgeant, HADR1 and HADR4, and HDGeant4.
  • He looked at the energy spectra for particular particle types: neutrons, protons, and C12 for each of the three models.
  • Zisis asked about the physics list. Richard replied that it was a standard list with tweaks from Maurizio Ungaro of Hall B and from a BNL experiment.

Tegan and Colin will collaborate on this issue.

Technical Topics

  • Igal has reported a problem with doing a make after a make clean in HDGeant4. Mark is look at this.
  • In response to questions and discussion, Mark will build a version of no-light-heavy branch of HDGeant4 at JLab for the (i)farm. He will also send out instructions on how that is done.
