Advanced examplesLHC-like examples on their way…

–– lArlAr_calorimeter, composite_calorimeter in CVS, running and producin_calorimeter, composite_calorimeter in CVS, running and producing plotsg plots

Thanks to Sunanda Banerjee (CMS) and Peter Loch (Atlas) for providing test beam applications as a starting point

Thanks to Alex, Henrique (Boulby Mine exp.), Lorenzo (Anaphe), Pedro (CMS), Alberto, Patricia (LCG-CERN/IT/API) for helping with the “pedagogical transformation” of the test beam codes

Work will continue in the next weeks, in view of the December releaseLHC experiments are welcome to review the examples, provide suggestions, improvements (also in future releases)

Perhaps also useful as benchmarking testbeds?

Other LHC-like examples welcome – LHCb? First contacts established, postponed because of limitation of resources

Test & Analysis projectFruitful and collaborative discussions across various WGs– Thanks to Alberto, Andreas, Gabriele, Lorenzo, Michael, Pablo, Sandra,

Sergei, Susanna…

Agreement on the vision proposed on Tuesday morningReview of requirements– 2 new versions in a week!– analysis of need, priority, stability– identification of sub-teams responsible for each requirement (STT, AIDA,

Anaphe, physics WGs, project team etc.)Update in CVS/web http:://www.ge.infn.it/geant4/analysis/TandAby the weekend

Still to be clarified: contribution of Anaphe members to the project– they are key team members for the success of the whole project!

Analysis and design of the system needed soon…

LowE e.m. sessionsJoint session with users– Highly successful (10 user presentations, wide audience, in spite of low tone

announcement)– Results, problems, requirements… all will be available on the web–– Lot of interest (Lot of interest (and work done by WG membersand work done by WG members) on GRID, distributed ) on GRID, distributed

computing…computing…

“Developers” session– Review of recent results and current status– Still open problems: electron processes, performance– Extensions and improvements (Compton, Bremsstrahlung), in response to URs– Still lack of resources for physics consolidation, core testing, performance studies

Cosmic ray physics (organized by LowE, joint with std e.m. and hadronic)– Interest for collaboration with Univ. Campinas on fluorescence extensions

Highlights and outlook… (a personal selection)

Ignominy…

Distributed computing, GRID…

Performance optimisation…

Inter-WGs projects… (e.g. Test & Analysis)

Openness to the world around us…– Users, physics, technology, tools…

Reports at next year’s workshop!Reports at next year’s workshop!
