DCH - Drift Chamber Simulation 
Drift Chamber software discussion    Maintained by Ernesto Lamanna 

The Drift Chamber simulation group implements and maintains the code needed to describe the detector in both detailed and fast simulation.
  • The items covered  in the detailed simulation are :
    • Geometry definition (only one geometry);
    • Tracking  of the particle (dedicated algorithm) ;
    • Estimation of the Hits;
    • dE/dx;
    • Digitization.
      •  DchSim  is the package  where the hits produced in the detailed simulation are converted in digis introducing intrinsic resolution of the detector and electronics.
       
       
  • The new fast approach is implemented using GEANT4 and making working  modules in the reconstruction framework.

  • The geometry  may be defined using multiple models that cover both full and fast simulation.  The code is divided in two packages  covering the following items:
    •  dE/dx;
    • Fast tracking.
      • DchBgsModules  is the package  working in the reconstruction framework where the hits produced in BgsDchSim are fitted to make track reco like objects . [  Carlo Dallapiccola, Maryland];

      •  
         
  •  The dE/dx simulation is implemented in  both the detailed and the fast Monte Carlo  using specific parameterizations obtained from experimental results  and from studies of single cell through dedicated codes. [ Mario Posocco, Padova]
