  MC liaisons in the Physics Analysis Working groups

  The MC liaisons work together with their physics working group and the simulation core developers, and provide a bridge between them. Their names can be found in the list of liasons of the Physics Working Group.

  In practice they:

  1. attend and report to the Simulation meetings.
  2. coordinate the submission of new decay files and make sure they have been validated
  3. submit production requests (including requesting new simulation conditions/processing pass if needed and follow them up
  4. produce the generator statistics for their productions and make sure they are made available on the web
  5. make sure the mc provide the necessary functionality for the analysis of their working group:
     1. collect and provide reference distributions from MC samples that are relevant for the analysis, both at MC truth and reconstructed level, and the same from data samples for those reconstructed. The distributions should be those that are different or similar to the data and that will be important/limiting for the systematics of the measurements. This will allow to monitor the evolution of the MC and their comparison to the data.
     2. ensure new versions of the code are looked at and validated. In the case of EvtGen with Pythia8, you will need for example to make sure that if/how MC truth distributions and event types relevant for your working group are affected. It does not mean you have to do the whole work but make sure your working group is aware of it and looking into, you will have to report about it.
     3. contribute to relevant mc tuning and dedicate studies, either directly or asking in your working group
     4. make sure necessary new code is introduced in the simulation, either asking for it in the regular meetings, contributing to it or putting people in your working group willing to contribute in contact with the core developers.
