Release Notes for the Calice Reconstruction Software v0.0.2
Major feature enhancements (see changes.).
Besides the two non-negligible problems (see below), I would consider
this release to be production ready.
Features:
- Hit signal calibration.
- Mokka conform cell indices.
- Drift chamber reconstruction (calibrated but not perfectly aligned yet).
- All constants are read from the conditions data base:
- ECAL calibration constants.
- ECAL channel mapping.
- ECAL geometry and cell positions.
- Drift chamber parameters: drift velocity, positions, time shifts.
- Experimental setup: rotation angle, nominal beam energy and direction.
- Support for cosmics data and test beam data:
- pedestal and noise calculation and tracking using events with physics triggers (for cosmics data).
- pedestal and noise calculation using random triggers (for test beam data).
- Hit search using a signal-over-noise or fixed threshold criterion.
- Units are: mm (spacial coordinates), mips (ECAL signal), GeV (energies).
- Position reconstruction using information from a conditions data base:
- module positions (correct geometry).
- module layout: cell positions and dimensions (correct geometry).
- channel mapping.
-
- OpenGL based event display.
- No detection and handling of trigger problems.
- Incompatible with LCIO files produced with the "official" conversion framework due to different representation of the trigger information.
