DRIFT CHAMBER  SIMULATION
Current Simulation Release: 
  • Geometry (DchSimGeom):  Hexagonal  cell structure through wire geometry  database; Closest approach distance evaluation; dE/dx computation.
  • Digitization (DchData):  New hits interface using new geometry; Digis evaluation.
Pending  work Short Term (September): 

Geometry (DchSimGeom):   

  • Update Drift Chamber material; (E. Lamanna)
  • Spead Up the code using only one step in the cell; (E. Lamanna)
  • Multiple Scattering in the wires switched on; (E. Lamanna, S. Rahatlou)
  • Low momentum particles < 2 MeV to be introduced; (E. Lamanna)
  • More Realistic dE/dx considering experimental results; (M. Posocco)
  • Internal check of DchSimGeom; (S. Rahatlou)
Digitization (A. Mazzoni): 
  • Production of  digis DchDigi using DchSim;
  • Use of Hep-Random
  • Use of FcsSim L1A time
Pending  work Long Term (~ December): 

Geometry (DchSimGeom): 

  • Use of same geometry Data Base for simulation and reconstruction; (E. Lamanna, R. Stroili)
  • Introduction of cell geometry inefficiencies and sagitta for wires; (E. Lamanna, M. Posocco)
Geometry (Geant4): 
  • Migration from Aslund to Geant4 fast MonteCarlo: 
    • Bogus Setup; ( D. Fong, S. Rahatlou )                   -  already running
    • Physics requirements to the fast simulation; (A. Hasan, C.  Dallapiccola)
    • Fast tracking; (W. Langeveld)
  • Migration from Geant3 to Geant4, full MonteCarlo; (E. Lamanna, M. Posocco, C. Perri)
Digitization (A. Mazzoni, M. Posocco, P. Rankin): 
  • dE/dx response including cell edge effects;
  • Cell correlation response due to induced charge, and Electronics noise ;
  • Electronics response (TDC, FADC) study and interaction with Electronics & Online group.
Quality check of full chain (S. Rahatlou,.....):
