The ALIGNMENT v6r0 Full Release Notes
Package: AlignmentSys
Package Coordinator: Johan Blouw
Purpose: LHCb Alignment packages.
This project contains 2 different alignment algorithms
used by the Gaudi application Escher to align the LHCb detector
components.
Based on Rec v11r2p1, on the LHCb v32r1p1 stack for 2011 data
This is the first release of Alignment compatible with 2011 data.
The Alignment packages have only been slightly modified, but
the major version has been increased due to the major change of Rec
Modified packages:
. Alignment/Escher v4r10, pick up GaudiMP differently
. Alignment/TAlignment v5r4
- Update of DToKPiTwoProng,
- adapt to changes in trackfit
- removed isfinite

** There was a problem introduced by J. Blouw. I did not realize that
in fact AlignSolvKernel was replaced with AligKernel. So, I had removed
AlignSolvTools... which was wrong. I have put it back, and retagged the
AlignmentSys package with the same tag.

- General comments/remarks
. introduced configurables for the following packages
- Escher
- TAlignment
- AlignTrTools
. some of the already existing python scripts have been moved around a bit
(e.g. from TAlignment/python to TAlignment/python/TAlignment, or TAlignment/options)
. in cae of TAlignment, the linker library has been removed
. The escher configurable is more or less a cc of the Brunel one,
with adaptations, changes etc where deemed necessary.
. Note: for this release, only the Kalman sequence & the Millepede sequence for OT layers
has been configured & tested. Rest will follow soon...
. I noticed a small problem in the Millepede sequence, which will be resolved later as well.
- here, the piece of code which is used to convert the alignment constants determined by Millepede
into constants in the LHCb coordinate system seems to have a bug... certain conditions are not found.
. a new package has been introduced, called "MisAligner". It produces an executable which can be used to
easily generate misaligned xml files (which then have to be manually uploaded into your favourite conditions
databasse.
