Thursday, October 6, 2:00pm ETD

Agenda

Presentations:

Updates to simulation (Juliette)
- Updating Wiki page to reflect changes, will update Doxygen pages soon
- Messenger to use a "constant" random seed or not
- Fixed random number generator (got duplicate rootfiles ~15% of the time)
Geometry progress (gdml from CAD)
- Have step files for detector and hybrid torus
- Reduced detector step file to less than 20 volumes
- Can write out current G4 geometry to a gdml and read it in
Documentation
- create svn devel branch?
- tag the version from before adding the gdml capability?
Figure-of-Merit Discussion (Sereres)
Other items
- When to have the regular meetings?
  - Thursday at 2-3pm (or at 4pm if Qweak meeting changes again), with a room
  - Wednesday at 11am with no room, assuming the Qweak meeting doesn't move to this time
- Date/time for a "major" simulation meeting (teleconference) where we update the whole collaboration
  - KK would like to have this in early October
- Other projects

Presentations:

Updates to simulation (Juliette)
- Constant random seed capability was welcomed
- several suggestions for random seed were offered: use job-id, run name, "true" random
Geometry progress (gdml from CAD)
- Should try to read step files directly
- Use material as a tag (like auxilliary color) to set the material using G4/NIST materials
Documentation
- trunk will become "devel" branch
- should have a "production" branch which is updated less frequently...
- can create tagged versions
- Paul notes that Doxygen not supported on all machines...
Figure-of-Merit Discussion (Sereres)
- Statistical and leading systematics is okay
- how to include inelastic uncertainty (depends on how well we can measure it)
Other items
- Meetings
  - We chose to keep it Thursday at 2-3pm (or at 4pm if Qweak meeting changes), with a room
  - We decided that we didn't want to have a "major" simulation teleconference outside of the collaboration meeting
- No one had any updates for Other projects
