Progress and Task Log for Kyle

Tasks

  • Get tasks from Maurik
  • Learn the XML, build a primer so we can set up simple test strips.
  • Collaborate with dan for a 'Building Sim 12' page, once we can consistently build it.
  • Track bugs and crashes of Sim12.
  • Build a batch mode guide with common commands. -
  • Build a clean and actually readable version of http://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Sim12_Manual.

In Progress

Batch mode guide comming along well, 80% of what we are doing right now is in the short list at the top. Gui manipulation is coming along with dan. More sections will be added.

I can put together things already defined like SVTs, but what about single strips? Not implemented yet? XML guide is very basic, clean and clear up a little bit. Cant stress HDDS-1_0.xsd enoung. (In your Sim12 directory) The XML seems like a great system, glad you choose to go with HDDS.

Reading about detector theory, particle physics. Seiden's 'Particle Physics' in the office, gettting Griffith's. Ask Maurik for book recommendations.

Notes

Hits not implemented at all? To make materials active, flag them as sensitive="true". No actual hit tracking yet? Needs to out to a file.

Sim12 should be able to out the entire session, all text displayed in the terminal to a text file.

Need to add all particles to the menu in Sim12 gui, need an option to set energy. Maybe a command line to hybridize batch/gui mode? XML file selector?

Colors!

Red = particle

Green = emag radiation

Yellow = ???

Log

October

Tue 23

Off clock - building Sim12 on Fedora 7, some linking errors with JGeant4

Arrived 12pm
Familiarizing with batch mode, xml files
Put together common batch mode commands from http://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Sim12_Manual.
Creating log for hours, things done.
Read SVT and silicon detector papers
Out 3:00pm

tonight: more reading, fix linking problem

Thur 25

Off clock - picking up Introduction to Elementary Particles by Griffiths today or tomorrow.

Arrived 12pm
Reading through HDDS-1_0.xsd - XML documentation
Put together a simulation with just 2 SVTs (or maybe 1 double layered SVT) and a target.
Simulation runs a LOT faster with reduced geometry.

Wrote XML guide.
Left 2:45pm

Fri 26

Off clock - picking up Introduction to Elementary Particles by Griffiths today or tomorrow.

Arrived 10am
Set up single 'strip' simulation. Trying to figure out color meaning.
