Physics Lists and Validation tools: Workplan 2023 (draft 1.0)

Ongoing activities

• Physics Lists
  • Documentation of physics lists(~All)
  • Maintain physics constructors and physics lists, including support (~All)
• Physics List Validation Using Beam Simulation (Kihyeon, Soonwook, Kim)

• Physics list for Intensity Frontier: monitoring, maintenance, and documentation.

• Validation tools
  • 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, Lorenzo)
  • maintenance & further developments (Dmitri, Lorenzo)

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.)
  • Review of physics lists code
  • produce graphs showing overlap of models (currently done by hand), very useful as a simple graph for new users (missing MP)
  • Refine hypernuclei treatment for EM and hadronic physics in physics list (Vladimir)
  • Improve configuration of combined processed and models per region (Vladimir, Alberto)
• Validation tools
  • geant-val (Dmitri, Lorenzo)
  • archive a dump of the Validation Database (VDB aka DoSSiER) in git
  • migration of the Validation Database (VDB aka DoSSiER) data to a to be determined database (Hans)
  • Expand user base for geant-val by teaching how to use validation framework (Lorenzo)
  • Interface tests 19, 47, 48, 75, 23 with geant-val (Julia, Lorenzo)
  • Optimization of tests most used in validation (Lorenzo, Dmitri, Summer Student)
