BaBar Monte Carlo
Simulation Workshop
July 12, 2004
SLAC
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for
discussion of issues relating to the use of Monte Carlo simulation for
physics analysis. The goal is to collect a prioritized
"wish-list" of issues relating to the simulation performance which can
be addressed by the Simulation Development Group. Discussion
topics include (but are not limited to):
- PID performance and killing/weighting
- Charged and neutral particle modeling and efficiencies
- Detector modeling issues which impact physics
performance
- Hadronic decay modeling
- Fast simulation
- Digimixing and background/conditions modeling
- Monte Carlo generators
This workshop is being organized by the Simulation
Development Group . Please contact Steven
Robertson if you are interested in presenting a talk or to obtain
additional information. Content relating specifically to
Monte Carlo generators will be coordinated by Abi
Soffer and David
Lange.
