MuonGeoModel: status and plans

MuonGeoModel status and plans

• Simulation on slc4 64-bits platforms Recent
  tests used to disable the Muon Spectrometer
  because of a crash in MuonGeoModel
• Fixed an instrinsic type mismatch in
  RpcReadoutElement
• (MuonGeoModel-00-02-79 collected for
  12.5.0)
• Common tracking EDM Duplication of RPC, TGC, CSC
  surfaces to separate eta and phi views, so that
  generic track-fitters can treat eta and phi
  measurements in the same way
• Changes to the code well defined will go into
  13.0.0
• Deformations (B-lines parameters) not yet
  implemented but the strategy is defined (main
  contributor in the past T. Moore)
• Implementation limited to the readout geometry
  (layer used by reconstruction client, not by the
  simulation)
• All deformations (other than sagging) can be
  represented as displaced wire end-points for a
  rigid wire (some related calculation implemented
  in MdtChamberDeformationSvc)
• MuonGeoModel will hold B-line parameters in a new
  class, they will be updated run-time by some
  service querying cond DB on a IoV basis
• MuonGeoModel will use B-line parameters to
  correct tube positions and transforms with the
  methods provided in MdtChamberDeformationSvc
• Corrected geometry will be transparently
  available to tracking clients
• New contributors available in this field Ivan
  Logachenco and others
• No time scale yet
