BABAR Simulation Workshop
Feb 25, 2006
SLAC
The purpose of this workshop is to discuss issues related to 18-series (SP8)
BABAR Monte Carlo and to discuss possible plans for Monte Carlo development beyond the
18-series. Several possible scenarios exist, including the possibility that retain the
current simulation version for modeling of all current and anticipated future data up to
the end of BABAR operations. If however there are known to be deficiencies in the current simulation
which are limiting physics performance, or if it is anticipated that there or significant improvements in performance which
could be achieved by proposed additional development activities (and if resources are available to carry out these projects),
then we should plan to move to a new simulation version in the future.
Since it is anticipated that improvements to generator models will be accommodated in all scenarios, discussion of
generators-related issues will not be included in the scope of this workshop.
The workshop will therefore consist of presentations of:
- proposed development plans by member of the Simulation Development Group and/or
subsystem representatives
- issues related to MC/data comparison of SP8 and R18 data
- validation studies of release 19.4.1 (using GEANT version 4.7.1) and discussion
of the potential benefits of moving to newer GEANT releases
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.
Registration
There is no registration fee, but we need an accurate estimate of
attendence in order to ensure that there are sufficient snacks and
coffee during the break between sessions. Therefore, please indicate that you will attend
the workshop when you register for the collaboration meeting.
Note that since the workshop is on a Saturday, the SLAC cafeteria will not be open. A box lunch can be otained on request.
Additional details can be found on the main collaboration meeting
web page.
