v02-07-MC → November 2021
Released also on CentOStream 8
External software
- GEANT4 10.6.3-1.muonc (BTW Those packages have been built with special constraint (C++-17, MT, Qt-support) and cannot be used for other projects)
- Boost 1.7.3
New packages
- ACTS library → v13.0.0-MCC : an experiment-independent toolkit for (charged) particle track reconstruction in (high energy) physics experiments implemented in modern C++.
- A new marlin processor has been added to use this library: ACTSTracking → v1.0.0
- Added some new filters to MarlinTrkprocessor:
SplitCollectionByPolarAngle: the processor selects and saves the tracker hits with a polar angle within a certain range, defined by the lower and upper limits, along with the corresponding sim hits and the reco-sim relations.
FilterConeHits: the processor selects and saves the tracker hits that are included in a cone around the MC particle trajectory along with the corresponding sim hits and the reco-sim relations.
- FilterTimeHits: filtering hits depending on their time corrected by the time of flight. Particle propagation at a speed<c is supported via the TargetBeta parameter.
- Add the new Crilin ECAL
Packages changes wrt. to v02-06-MC
- ConformalTracking → v01-12-MC
- Add the possibility to do a regional tracking inside a theta range
New configuration parameters:
MaxHitAngle: Maximum polar angle of hits to be fitted [3.1415927]
MinHitAngle: Minimum polar angle of hits to be fitted [0.0]
- Add the possibility to do a regional tracking inside a theta range
- ConformalTracking → v01-12-MC
- Add cone-tracking algorithm
It uses a collection of particles (jets): JetCaloCollection, iterates over it selecting only the hits inside a cone of ray: DeltaRCut around jet direction and does a separated tracking inside each cone. If JetCaloCollection is empty use default tracking.
New configuration parameters:
JetCaloCollection: name of the collection with the previously found jets (cone are created around its) [""]
DeltaRCut: maximum angular distance between the hits and the particle direction [1.0]
- Add cone-tracking algorithm
- MarlinTrkprocessor → v02-13-MC
- Overlay → v00-23-MC
- Fix Overlay when not preserving truth particles
- Fix Overlay algorithm to reset tracker hit pointers to Overlay MC particles when those are not preserved. Keep momentum information anyway before setting the link to a null pointer.
- Actually setting overlay flag in simulated tracker hit
- Incompatibility issue Files created with previous releases, where MC particles are removed, are no more usable from this release.
- Fix Overlay when not preserving truth particles
detector-simulation → v01-02-MC
- Added simple text description of the MuColl_v1 geometry
- Add new Crilin calorimeter
- LCTuple → v01-14-MC
- Implement dumping of individual tracker hits making the tracker clusters/measurements Relevant only if stored, which happens only if a realistic digitization is used.
- Jet substructure observables added
- DDMarlinPandora → v00-13-MC
- MuonCutil → v02-07-MC
- In MuonCutil/releases/development/release-ilcsoft.cfg any references to mc branches have been removed, This is necessary since we have changed the usage policies for git

- It contains a module for ACTS and several fixes not yet available in the original iLCSoft code.

Know problems
- The paths of the geometry in the MuonCutil/confile/* are wrongs.
- Use the correct ones: /opt/ilcsoft/v02-03-MC/detector-simulation/geometries/MuColl_v0/MuColl_v0.xml
- Default value for ddsim is to use HepMC3 Helper reader which is not supported by now.
- Use the command line option for
ddsim: --hepmc3.useHepMC3 false
or putSIM.hepmc3.useHepMC3 = False
in your steering file
- Use the command line option for
- Using hepmc input file for ddsim produces a fatal exception likes this one: (see DD4Hep issue #759 in DD4Hep)
