5. 29 May 2005Weidong LI5 Ascii Dump & Raw Data  Ascii Dump is a data format currently used as input to reconstruction algorithms and contains: Digits in MDC, TOF, EMC and MUC Hits in MDC, TOF, EMC and MUC MC truth information e.g. particle ID, tracks and vertices etc. Relationships between above three  Raw Data format was defined by DAQ group Byte stream data Mainly consists of detector identifiers, time channels, charge channels and status etc.  Converting Ascii Dump to Raw Data is done by a simple algorithm.

7. 29 May 2005Weidong LI7 Detector Description  Goals Single source of generic detector description information Independent of clients: simulation, reconstruction, event display etc. Not limited to geometrical information but also includes description of material Flexible and extensible description  New detector description ( Developed by PKU ) Full detector description instead of description of basic detector dimensions Using GDML syntax

8. 29 May 2005Weidong LI8  Technology choice Based on ROOT Take ATLFast’s simple event display as a start point  Relationship with the Boss framework  Status The visualization of sub-detectors has been successfully implemented Both MDC hits and tracks can also be displayed. Event Display

9. 29 May 2005Weidong LI9 Use of Legacy Fortran Code  BES has ~30 event generators written in Fortran  Use C++ Hepevt_Wrapper to access the kinematics information generated by the generator   Tester, Howl and Radee have been integrated with the framework   GENBES card is still needed for running simulation.

10. 29 May 2005Weidong LI10 G4 Simulation Integration  Based on ATLAS software and major components include: G4SimAlg: takes care of initializing G4 properly and to simulate events G4Svc usually, only thing the user needs to talk to triggers G4SvcRunManager initialization, event processing loop and termination G4SvcRunManager inherits from G4RunManager extends functionality AthenaHepMCtoG4EventAction converts MonteCarlo event in Transient Event Store into a G4Event

14. 29 May 2005Weidong LI14 Event Selection Core Software  The “core” software is the “framework” part of the online event selection software  Goal Fast rejection and selection based on sequential steps and menus Runs within the Data Flow application - Event Filter Processing Task (EFPT) Makes substantial use of software developed in ‘offline’ project  Status Steering and Steering Controller (SC) prototypes that control the selection of events in sequential steps ( implemented by R. Tang and SDU based on ATLAS HLT’s scheme ) The Steering was tested in the online environment Data Flow EFPT Steering Controller(SC) Event Selection Software   Data Flow components (like EFPT) belong to online DAQ domain.   EFPT controls SC like a state machine   SC returns event decision and error conditions to EFPT

15. 29 May 2005Weidong LI15  Tracking algorithms Perform Fast track finding and fitting in the MDC implemented candidates MdcHough MdcFastTrk ( segments -> tracks )  EMC clustering algorithm  Combined builder Track-cluster matching Initial track finding: use a LUT-based Hough Transform. Local maximum finding: select good track candidates. Track splitting: removes hits incorrectly assigned to a track Final selection: selects final track candidates.
