Minutes of meeting on 25th February

Present: Joel, Clare, Ryan, Hajrah, Roberval, Victoria.

Hajrah presented her plots (linked from the blog) showing the difference at the digitisation level between 55 GeV muons and 55 GeV pions. The energy of the muons probably doesn't make any sense. It uses the Muon digitiser from the head version of Marlin. Joel commented that it would be good to look at E_EM+E_HAD. Hajrah has not looked yet at tracking and clustering information, for this it would be best to use PandoraPFA, which is currently not working. Clare said that, after contact with Mark Thompson, she is using the head of PandoraPFA, which seems to work. Roberval will try to install that in Edinburgh, for Hajrah to use.

Clare had been installing the ILC software on a local 64bit Bristol machine. (The Grid is being abandoned!) Roberval has already done this in Edinburgh and Roberval and Clare will communicate as how to do this. Roberval noted that Marlin/Mokka run about 3 times faster on the 64bit machine in Edinburgh. We will encourage Roberval and Clare to co-author an ILC note on this subject.
