    • use in ddsim:
      SIM.action.mapActions['tpc'] = ('TPCSDAction', {'TPCLowPtCut': 10*MeV , 'TPCLowPtStepLimit' : True })
    • use Mokka default values:

  	Control.TPCLowPtCut = CLHEP::MeV ;
  	Control.TPCLowPtStepLimit = false ;
  	Control.TPCLowPtMaxHitSeparation = 5. * CLHEP::mm ;
  

  • properly access layerID through IDDescriptor

  • new driver for tube of square cross-section (BoxSupport_o1_v01_geo.cpp)
  • new driver for yoke endcaps with square central hole (Yoke06_Endcaps.cpp)
  • adjust description of QD0 and first extraction quad, and add its cryostat
  • remove more upstream magnets
  • include forward region support tubes: around QD0, outer tube froum outside -> LHCAL, and between ecal endcap and ring
  • update yoke design to fit with this support structure
  • implement the above in the ILD_?5_v02 models

• 2017-12-12 Dan Protopopescu (PR#188)
  Version 3 of the SiD option 2 model (not final though). Main changes and updates:

  • cleaned up all XMLs
  • using DetIDs
  • unified segmentation and cell ID encoding
  • added type_flags where missing
  • updated plugins
  • added envelopes where missing
  • stepped design Muon calorimeters use now scintillator instead of RPCs
  • merged barrel+endcap envelopes for the Muon calorimeter
  • added or updated certain drivers
  • included alternate brass HCal
  • added common tracker barrel+endcap envelope
  • implemented some ECal barrel driver fixes
  • checked: no overlaps
  • added test_SiD_o2_v03

  To check:

  • Muon caloData definitions
  • ECal towers visibility attributes
  • LumiCal and BeamCal envelopes

• 2018-03-05 Frank Gaede (PR#207)

  • activate G4StepLimiterPhysics in DDSim by default
    • needed to limit the steps in detector volumes and regions

• 2018-03-05 Dan Protopopescu (PR#202)
  Minor corrections to SiD_o2_v03:

  • Corrected LumiCal grid size parameters
  • Added hole in the BeamCal (beam pipe parameters not used with the current driver)

  • new FCCee_o1_v02 detector model
  • Material budget of VTX was increased for 50%
  • change of LumiCal_cell_size from 1.0 to 1.81 mm, change of LumiCall offset

• 2018-03-27 Ete Remi (PR#213)

  • DD4hepSimulation:
    • Fixed division by zero when no event has been processed, Fixes #208

  • add test for the model

• 2018-03-23 Daniel Jeans (PR#212)

  • writeAllILDCompactDescriptions.py: python script to create compact detector descriptions with different variations: large/small, ideal/realistic fields at 250/500 GeV, with or without anti-DID fields, different reconstruction options
  • compact descriptions all kept in one directory ILD_sl5_v02
  • each model is linked individually
  • some models are not yet functional: in particular small models with realistic fields, for which no field maps are yet available. [ ie ILD_s5_v03, v04, v05, v06 ]
  • ILD_?5_v02 models and their options should be completely unchanged
