1. MEG-Review Feb. 20041 MEG Software Group MEG Software Status Framework for MC, Schedule, DC reconstruction update and Discussion on a ROOT-based offline

2. MEG-Review Feb. 20042 Question from reviewer Give a common goal to be achieved by the next review; “I have appreciated the presentation of the offline software team, with a team leader etc... As promised I come forth with the question: could you give us -- and yourself -- a common goal to be achieved with that software in time for the next review?”

3. MEG-Review Feb. 20043 Our goal was: MC unified framework –With double option: Tokyo or Pisa Large Prototype MC unification –CEX beam test –Same offline package for DATA & MC Event Display –Initially GEANT3

4. MEG-Review Feb. 20044 MC Framework for MEG Unified framework with double option: –Tokyo or Pisa code. –Tree structure & skeleton, –Merged materials & tracking medium, –Stand alone & built-in event generator, –DC, TC, Magnet and B field are merged. Framework based on: –Fortran 77, –CERNLIB, –ZEBRA I/O, –GEANT3. Distributed via CVS.

5. MEG-Review Feb. 20045 To be done: MEG MC I/O –ZEBRA structure … in progress –Digitization Liq. Xe –Geometry … in progress –Scintillation photon tracking … in progress Full reconstruction program Offline database… ODB? Separate database (e.g.PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)?

6. MEG-Review Feb. 20046 Large Proto CEX beam test MC merge into the new framework … just finished. –Common output format for DATA/MC –Same offline package for DATA & MC –Scintillation photon tracking in Liq. Xe … Full ray tracing or analytical tracking –Rayleigh scattering/absorption in Liq. Xe –Reflection on the PMT quartz window … Fresnel or total reflection –Scintillation light spectrum … Monochromatic, Gaussian, Basov et.al, etc.

7. MEG-Review Feb. 20047 To be done: beam test NaI response simulation LiH target and Vessel simulation Phase space simulation for p 0 Offline database … ODB? Separate database (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)?

8. MEG-Review Feb. 20048 Schedule/man power By end of April 2004 –Liq. Xe geometry merging … S.Yamada/F.Cei –ZEBRA data structure … P.Cattaneo By end of June 2004 –MC output with Digitized waveform … XE: S.Yamada/F.Cei, DC: H.Nishiguchi, TC: P.Cattaneo Summer DC beam test will performed using unified MC

9. MEG-Review Feb. 20049 DC reconstruction Track Dictionary –Efficiency –Resolution

10. MEG-Review Feb. 200410 Hit pattern Single and unique string (i.e. a dictionary key) Average (over the set) track parameters The dictionary concept Several tracks with similar kinematics producing a single hit pattern

11. MEG-Review Feb. 200411 Building the dictionary MC sample used to build the dictionary: –Positrons from Michel decay; –Unpolarized muons; –Generator level cuts: 0.08 < |cosθ| < 0.35; -60° < φ < 60°. No Tdrift used, No Z measurement used yet.

12. MEG-Review Feb. 200412 The population of the patterns is not uniform: 40% has 1 entry 43% has 2 ÷ 10 entries 13% has 11 ÷ 50 entries 4% more than 50 entries Number of events in a dictionary record 250000 generated events  12900 patterns; efficiency = 95%

13. MEG-Review Feb. 200413 Momentum components in the dictionary Event by event distributions Average in each Dictionary record Track first turn has hits in at least three sectors Px / MeV Py / MeV Pz / MeV LEFTRIGHT A Hit pattern cannot tell the sign of P Z

14. 14 p MC - σ Generate a sample of independent events For tracks in the dictionary acceptance (Nsectors > 2) find the dictionary key compare; Px with (key); normalize to RMS vertex X vertex Y vertex Z Px Py Pz Dictionary “resolution”

15. MEG-Review Feb. 200415 To be done: dictionary Optimize stats. given by 1 – eff. ~ 10 -3 - 10 -4 and by looking at RMS vs. stats. (intrinsic resolution of method); Add noise hits; Add inefficiency of Drift Chamber; Add drift time; Superimpose tracks.

16. MEG-Review Feb. 200416 Discussion on a ROOT-based offline system Fully OO framework, including: –all needed functionality present (from data taking to final plots, geometry package with integrated event display) –transparent LAN, WAN and HPSS support –parallel computation (PROOF) –interface to SQL/RDBMS –interface to GEANT3 with migration tools Extensive CERN support ROOT I/O exceeds MEG requirement (raw data throughput: ~3.5MB/s) –Max ROOT I/O throughput: ~51MB/s(from FNAL test) Scalable to cope with trigger rate uncertainties

17. 17 MONARC for computing & data model A central site, Tier-0 –Prompt calibration, reconstruction and run info Regional centers, Tier-1/2 –Reprocessing –MC production –Mirror locally the reconstructed objects Tier-3/4 centers –Analysis Offline system reads raw data streams via rootd and tree output streams: –Raw event database (to HPSS) –Tag database (on disk) –Run Catalog database (on RDBMS)
