Release 9.0.0

• /afs/cern.ch/atlas/software/dist/9.0.0

• Zhongliang Ren

• CMT v1r16p20040901
• RedHat 7.3
• gcc3.2

• Release Notes & Used Tags
• Nicos Build Summary (opt)
• Nicos Build Summary (dbg)
• Doxygen by package
• Doxygen by directory

• Distribution kit ready
• Reconstruction works fine with some exceptions (see below for details) and provided one adds the following line at then end of myTopOptions.py or RecExCommon_topOptions.py:

  RDBAccessSvc = Service( "RDBAccessSvc" )

  RDBAccessSvc.HostName = "pdb01"

  and for combined test beam:

  RDBAccessSvc = Service( "RDBAccessSvc" )

  RDBAccessSvc.HostName = "devdb"
• Pile-up needs checking
• Digitization needs checking
• Simulation works
• Generation works

The ESD and AOD making analysis are good in 9.0.0 - tests done with a small sample of DC2 ttbar events:

• ESD Production OK
• AOD Production from Reconstruction OK
• AOD Production from ESD OK
• Fast Simulation AOD Production OK
• Analysis on ESD/AOD OK

Known Problems:

• Reconstruction
  • Error messages from muon geo model can be safely ignored
  • tau object are big and slow to write. Fixed in tauEvent-00-00-32 and Reconstruction/tauRec/tauRec-02-02-47 tags. (fixed in atlrel_4, 4th November onwards)
  • Calorimeter does not run on Geant3 data. Fixed with tags TileCalorimeter/TileRec-00-02-47 (file TileRCBuilder_jobOptions.py and Calorimeter/CaloRec-02-05-67 file CaloCellMaker_jobOptions.py) (fixed in atlrel_4, 4th November onwards)
  • Leftover problem in the production of muon trigger AOD to be fixed for 9.0.1 (occasional crash on a few events). Use doAODLVL1=False meanwhile.
  • On pile up, CBNT_TrackParticle crashes.Can be bixed by increasing CBNT_TrackParticle.MaxNumberOfTracks = 500
