• ESNET session

Tentative Agenda

The purpose of the meeting was to review what MC simulations were needed to support the decision on the Bcal readout.

1. Status (Matt). What exists and what has been studied.
2. What needs to be studied?
3. Who/how to best accomplish this list.

Minutes

Attending: Elton, David, Beni, Eugene, Sasha, Matt

1. Status (Matt). What exists and what has been studied.
   1. Digitization with SiPMs including realistic parameters for detector, thresholds to set occupancy. The simulation of timing is not very realistic.
   2. Reconstruction
      • Based on KLOE algorithm
      • Finds showers and reconstructs them, perhaps not optimized. Downstream programs exist to reconstruct pi0s.
      • Beni implemented the geometry to do the 3x3 inner FM PMT option. This is for the straight light guides, no implementation of impact of light guides on reconstruction.
   3. Documentation
      • Report at Apr 2, 2009 Calorimetry Meeting
      • See also GlueX-doc-849 and GlueX-doc-1231 for reconstruction references.
2. What needs to be studied?
3. Who/how to best accomplish this list.
