Maintain physics constructors and physics lists, including
support (~All)
Develop and maintain physics list level test (test23) (Julia)
Monitor performance of existing production and/or
experimental physics lists, focusing on intensity frontier
experiments, including beamline simulation projects (e.g.
neutrino flux or Mu2e beamline)
Analyze production of hadrons from the first hadronic
inelastic interaction
If necessary, analyze secondary interactions (e.g. in
the primary target) and benchmark results vs relevant
thick target data (once such data are explored and
added)
Compose new physics lists, if needed
Physics List Validation Using Beam Simulation (Kihyeon, Soonwook)
Validation tools
Collecting and evaluate experimental data sets (Hans, Julia,
Krzysztof, Robert, with input from others)
Support for changing of model parameters (Hans, Julia,
Krzysztof, Robert)
geant-val:
Release, candidate and reference tag testing for physics
performance on Grid (Alberto, Dmitri, Witold)
maintenance & further developments (Dmitri, Grigory)
Development Items
Physics Lists
Recommendation / Documentation of physics lists for specific use
cases ( ~ All)
Documentation of physics lists examples ( Alex, in collaboration
with documentation wg.)
complete automated physics list documentation and integrate in
web documentation (Gunter, Alex)
Physics lists factories
Continue efforts to allow proper physics list/constructor
registration behavior on Windows static library builds
(Robert H.)
Review of physics lists code
Evaluate possibility to eliminate template mechanism in
physics lists, implement if possible. (Gunter, Vladimir)
Define MT cleanup strategy for
builders and physics processes in MT mode (missing
MP)
remove independent version number (Gunter, Vladimir)
review use of DataQuestionaire (Vladimir, Gunter)
Deprecate or remove Setcuts from interface (Vladimir,
Gunter)
produce graphs showing overlap of
models (currently done by hand), very useful as a simple graph
for new users (missing MP)
Create set-up to run regression
testing at process level (missing MP)
Validation tools
DoSSiER Database and web application (Hans with feedback from
collaborators)
define a human readable json data exchange format that
allows for data exchange between databases at FNAL and CERN
(Hans)
enable SSO authentication ( Hans)
periodic upload of grid test results, e.g. for
SimplifiedCalo, for public releases to DoSSiER. (Hans,
Dmitri)
extend set of experimental data used in validation (all…)
complete the tool for automated upload of results to DoSSiER
(Hans, Julia)
Maintain relevant elements of artg4tk - a framework that
provides an interface between Geant4 and the art framework which
is used by the intensity frontier experiments. Artg4tk ensures
that the intensity frontier experiments have access to the
latest developments in Geant4 and that interfaces are kept up to
date. Artg4tk is used to study experimental observables that are
of interest for the intensity frontier experiments. In addition
artg4tk is used to support the changing of model parameters
framework and to test the relevant Geant4 API (Hans, Julia).
