Scribe: Kurtis
- Director's Review - Pion Detector Comments Review
- Do we really need to include a separate generator for mu+mu- generation?
- Maybe, depends on our true needs. Could approach it in a similar method to the Hall D generator.
- Rakitha might already have the data in his older radiation studies.
- Wouter: Should also merge Rakitha's shielding into the master then into the pion branch.
- Seamus: Should consolidate the different unused branches back into master.
- Wouter: Could split the geometry into a separate repo from the simulation.
- Seamus: Maybe we should get rid of GDML and move to hard-coded geometry instead?
- Wouter: Why, do you want to move to that?
- Seamus: Having volume structure problems.
- Wouter: Qweak, does that and it causes many many problems.
- Rates and luminosities tend to cause problems in the hard-coded method.
- Wouter: Important to keep geometry separate so that it can be moved to other frameworks.
- Upcoming simulation priorites
- Lead wall thickness, pion detector geometry studies
- Photo tracking in the pion detectors. Wouter will check on the status.
- Port over the shielding to the main branch.
- Ask Rakitha about which is the most recent shielding branch.
- Do we really need to include a separate generator for mu+mu- generation?
