Organization (M. Leite) :
- See slides in introduction;
- we will follow all issues on gitlab (targets and deadlines);
- people need to have an Indico account to upload material to the agenda - please act
- please create a branch with your name for your working version and request merge when OK.
- next meeting will be on Thursday Oct. 6th 15:20 - 16:20 due to conflicts
- Moving to Gitlab Ultimate (ed. License). Invitations will be sent and development will switch to this instance
TCAD Simulation (R. Buhler):
- Success opening TCAD geometry for AC-LGAD example sent by Taylor (UCSC)
- Problems reported running the field simulation
- M. Leite sent email to Taylor @UCSC putting R. Buhler and R. Giacomini in contact for debugging this issue
Geant4 Simulation (M. Moralles):
- Geant4 v. 11.x is working (see figure attached)
- First example running on GDML geometry based on Taylor AC-LGAD TCAD files information - we need to verify the consistency
- Using a non-optimized physics process for fotons @ keV energy range. M. Moralles will switch to this new process as next step
- Data will be saved as a root file . Proposed format for each event is (x,y,z,Q,process). This can be changed or converted to anything to be passed to TCAD
- First simulations will use monochromatic beam : 1keV to 30 keV in steps of 1 keV
- Beam will have no divergence for now
- Beam to enter from strip side
- World volume material is air. This may need to change for low energy X-Rays (vacuum) .
- Low priority: Review GDML to include loop structures and replications (this is only supported in Geant, so it needs a working example to debug)
Action Items (for next meeting on Oct. 6th). These will be issues on Gitlab and we will follow the discussion there .
- TCAD Simulation (R. :
- Solve the TCAD simulation issue for electrical field with Taylor's help (R. Buhler)
- Extract E field for AC-LGAD baseline example on gitlab (R. Buhler)
- Validate simulation against Taylor's results.(R. Buhler)
- Aiming to present and discuss the results on next meeting (providing the issue is solved) (R. Buhler)
- Geant4 Simulation :
- Update the physics model for low energy photons (keV) (M. Moralles)
- Save the data as Root format for first evaluation (see above) (M. Moralles)
- Read the Root file, provide comments and extract information (M. Leite, M. Moralles)
- Provide registration in Indico as external user (for those without CERN account)
