Digitisation (Emmy, Daniel U. Helping: Blake, Louis):

Daniel is working on the note, with Louis helping
Emmy is working on the effective noise simulation in coordination with Blake.
A summary and tutorial of the effective noise model can be found here.

Alignment (Sophie, Fred):

Constraints are now in the software, and weak modes are being understood as well as a more efficient parameterisation. List of tasks: https://codimd.web.cern.ch/9wYOr9U3QHSGDSdh6F6qRQ#

Mail from Sneha Malde:

For each subdetector we need to know

  1. precision of metrology for each element
  2. if expected (or not completely excluded) any movement and which type (rotation, translation) due to any reason: cooling, closing of the detector, magnetic field, HV etc.
  3. any expected distortions on long term as blending
  4. precision of the global position of each subdetector (e.g. we could have a z scaling of the full tracking system).
  5. any mechanical monitor like rasnik or bcam? what will it measure and with which precision?
Point 1 and 2 can be used to create a starting point of misalignment scenario.

This misalignment can be used also to define a monitoring sensitive to the misalignment of each detector. Ideally we should have for the expected misalignment or each weak mode a sensitive plot.

From this misalignment scenario, we can run the alignment:

  • to optimize the data sample needed for the alignment
  • to define the constraints
  • to define a procedure for the alignment for day one
  • to determine the alignment accuracy The alignment accuracy will be the input for data challenge to have a simulation "more realistic" to what we expect.

The point 3 is very important and it should be studied how to monitor it and if we are able to align for it and with which precision. Consider that this kind of distortions of the detector should be considered in advance if we need to have 2 sub-element of a particular detector element.

About point 5, it would be good to study in advance in a way we can compare the alignment results with the mechanical measurements. In case this measurements for some dofs could be used as constraint in the alignment.

Ideally one could also applied some magnetic field distortions on the top of misalignment to see if the alignment is able to "correct/compensate" the magnetic field.


Monitoring (Lex, Kazu, Louis):

Version 7 of the decoding/encoding will include some link switching, and is already roughly implemented. A tutorial of the monitoring software is described here. We now need to:

- implement sorting of clusters and study the residual sorting of clusters;
- implement the corresponding encoding;
- test this with text outputs and validate it;
- discuss with RTA & hardware about constraints;
- implement better, more resilient testing;
- implement better Excel-to-DDDB transcription;
- do the same for NZS and counter.

Development and software status

All bugs, proposals for future development are described in the JIRA tasks: LHCBSCIFI.

Relevant LHCb Projects:

  • LHCb: contains general purpose classes used throughout the LHCb software latest release gitlab
  • Boole: digitization is the final stage of the LHCb detector simulation. Boole applies the detector response to hits previously generated in sensitive detectors by the Geant4 based simulation application ( Gauss). Additional hits are added from from Spillover events and LHC background. The digitization step includes simulation of the detector response and of the readout electronics, as well as of the L0 trigger hardware. The output is digitized data that mimics the real data coming from the real detector. latest release gitlab
  • Rec: groups together the components related to event reconstruction. latest release gitlab
  • LHCb-CondDB/DDDB: Detector geometry and setup database gitlab
  • LHCb-CondDB/SIMCOND: Simulation conditions database gitlab [attenuation maps etc..]

Tutorials

Compile Boole in the LHCb stack

The easiest way to get a stable, working setup is to use https://gitlab.cern.ch/rmatev/lb-stack-setup/ from Rosen. For more information/documentation about this, please check the referred link to the GitLab repository.

To set up the stack, first choose and cd into a directory where your stack will reside, for example, `$HOME` or `/afs/cern.ch/work/j/jdoe`. Then run the following to set up the necessary files and set up Boole. 

curl https://gitlab.cern.ch/rmatev/lb-stack-setup/raw/master/setup.py | python3 - stack_SciFi
make Boole

Compile Boole with fully checked-out packages

To work with fully checked-out projects (change the project versions accordingly): 

LbLogin -c x86_64-slc6-gcc62-opt
export SCIFIDEV=$PWD 
export CMTPROJECTPATH=${PWD}:$CMTPROJECTPATH 
export CCACHE_DIR=${PWD}/.ccache
export CMAKEFLAGS="-DCMAKE_USE_CCACHE=ON"
export VERBOSE=""
export PATH=${PATH}:/cvmfs/lhcb.cern.ch/lib/contrib/ninja/1.4.0/x86_64-slc6 
export GITCONDDBPATH=${PWD}
git clone ssh://git@gitlab.cern.ch:7999/lhcb/LHCb.git LHCB/LHCB_v43r1 
cd LHCB/LHCB_v43r1/ 
lb-project-init 
make install
cd $SCIFIDEV 
git clone ssh://git@gitlab.cern.ch:7999/lhcb/Lbcom.git LBCOM/LBCOM_v21r1 
cd LBCOM/LBCOM_v21r1 
lb-project-init 
make install
cd $SCIFIDEV 
git clone ssh://git@gitlab.cern.ch:7999/lhcb/Boole.git BOOLE/BOOLE_v31r3 
cd BOOLE/BOOLE_v31r3 
lb-project-init 
make install

This installs all software in the master branches. If you want to switch to branch myDevelopmentBranch, you can use the usual git command: 

git checkout myDevelopmentBranch

To start a new branch myNewBranch based on the current branch: 

git checkout -b myNewBranch

To push this new branch to the remote repository for the first time: 

git push -u origin myNewBranch

And just git push the following times. Before making any changes, or create a new branch it is always good to: 

git pull

To run the software, make a shell in your favourite project as: 

BOOLE/BOOLE_v31r3/build.x86_64-slc6-gcc49-opt/run bash -f

And use gaudirun.py myOptions.py etc. Or run directly: 

BOOLE/BOOLE_v31r3/build.x86_64-slc6-gcc49-opt/run gaudirun.py myOptions.py

Check out only a few packages:

Instead of working with fully checked-out projects, you can also check out single packages. This may be useful in case you have changes that are only affecting these packages. For more detailed instructions see: Git4LHCb 

lb-dev Boole v31r3
cd ~/cmt/BooleDev_v31r3/
git lb-use Boole
git lb-checkout Boole/dev-scifi-master FT
git lb-use LHCb
git lb-checkout LHCb/dev-scifi-master Event
<do some changes>
git commit --all -m "some description goes here"
# if you'd have changes for the project Boole do
git lb-push Boole <name_of_the_branch>
# if you'd have changes for the project LHCb do
git lb-push LHCb <name_of_the_branch>

Test your commit with nightly tests 

lb-dev --nightly lhcb-gaudi-head Brunel/HEAD
cd BrunelDev_HEAD
git lb-use Brunel
git lb-use Rec
git lb-checkout Brunel/master Rec/Brunel
git lb-checkout Rec/dev-beamhole Pr/PrAlgorithms
make
make test ARGS="-R brunel-upgrade-baseline"

Using a local geometry with the Git-based CondDB

Recently the CondDB repository moved to Git, and the way how to use a not-released geometry changed. In order to create your own geometry, get the geometry from which you want to start, modify the files that you want in a new branch, and tag a new database version. You first have to set and env. variable, get the repository and checkout the geometry that you want to use: 

export GITCONDDBPATH=$(pwd)
git clone --recursive ssh://git@gitlab.cern.ch:7999/lhcb-conddb/DDDB.git
cd DDDB
git fetch --all --tags
git checkout upgrade/dddb-20170706
git checkout -b <your-branch>
<modify-your-files>
git add <your-files>
git commit -m "<commit-message>"
git tag -a upgrade/<tag-name> -m "<tag-commit-message>"

It's suggested to save the GITCONDDBPATH variable in your default environment setting (e.g. in .bashrc profile file). Now you are ready to use your local geometry, by setting in your script the tag in this way: 

LHCbApp().DDDBtag = "<tag-name>"

Once you are happy with the changes, you can push your branch: 

git push origin <your-branch>

and apply for a merge request if you wish. Once you have pushed the branch, you can use it on Grid jobs (after 2-3 hours). by setting the tag: 

LHCbApp().DDDBtag = "<your-branch>"

In case your geometry is not picked up, you may need to put in your options file: 

from Gaudi.Configuration import *
def fix_upgrade_dddb_tag():
    allConfigurables['ToolSvc.GitDDDB'].Commit = '<your-branch>'
    allConfigurables['ToolSvc.GitSIMCOND'].Commit = 'upgrade/sim-20170301-vc-md100'
appendPostConfigAction(fix_upgrade_dddb_tag)

and you will obtain the new geometry.

dddb-20201211

Running the Boole digitisation

Once you have a running setup, you can run your options file. If you do not know where to start, an example basic digitisation options file is being added to Boole and can be found [[here][https://gitlab.cern.ch/lhcb/Boole/-/blob/emgabrie_optionsfile/FT/FTDigitisation/options/Digitisation_BasicOptions.py]. 

Boole/run gaudirun.py path/to/your/options.py
# or
Boole/run gaudirun.py Boole/FT/FTDigitisation/options/Digitisation_BasicOptions.py
