(7 Dec, 2015)

General dependencies: *ILC software v01-17-xx.

New CALICE software version v04-00

General dependencies: cmake version 2.6.2 (for most of the packages), ILC software v01-09, ROOT version 5.26.00b

calice_cmake v01-01
calice_run v03-00
calice_userlib v06-00
calice_reco v06-00
calice_sim v02-00

Please note that this version is only compatible with ILC software v01-09, which has important changes in the LCCD package. For more details, please see ILC software news .

What's new in this version:

  • calice_run
    • Switch to new type of Marlin steering files (xml) also for the converter (needs the CALICE_DB_INIT environment variable to be defined)
    • The creation of steering files for noise creation and for the reconstruction can now be stopped in case there is no valid grid proxy (or an empty list of input files is given)

  • calice_userlib :
    • The RunTimeConditionsHandler was changed to comply with the latest changes in the LCCD package. In case there is no valid collection for a given time stamp, a default (empty) collection is returned. In the future, an efficient usage of the default collection should be thought of.
    • To increase performance, the SiPM temperature is not saved in a container anymore, but added to a collection, and to the SiPMCalibrations
    • There is the possibility to obtain the AHCAL amplitude in different units. For more details, please see: FAQ .

  • calice_reco :
    • Also due to the latest changes in the LCCD package, there is no need to use the complicated ConditionsChangeDelegator anymore. This class was removed from the processors involved in the reconstruction steering file.
    • The steering parameter called Verbosity is removed from the BaseMappingIIProcessor, because it conflicts with the Marlin verbosity level (starting with this ILC software version, it is possible to set the verbosity level per processor, but the steering parameter is also called Verbosity)
    • To increase performance, the position of the AHCAL hits is not calculated anymore in the CorrectPositionProcessor (although the processor is kept in the package), but directly after the calibration, in the SiPMCalibrateProcessor.
    • An LCRelation between the reconstructed CalorimeterHit and the generated SimCalorimeterHit is available for both Si-W ECAL and AHCAL

  • calice_sim :
    • New AHCAL digitisation, using the framework developed for the new AHCAL reconstruction
    • getdEdx replaced with getEDep in TBTrackDigitizer.cc, to comply with the changes in SimTrackerHit
