Mokka vs. LCDG4 Comparison Guilherme Lima DHCal Meeting October 08, 2003
Updates since last week • CVS updates and tags, for documenting available data • Move into new server (thanks Jeremy!) • Implement binary stdhep input into Mokka (processing is under way) • Change RangeCut from 0.7mm to 0.1mm • Study dependence of Nhits with changes in energy thresholds
Comparing apples to apples… • Geant version (4.5.1 in nicadd, 4.5.2_p01 on k2) • Geometry (SDJan03, projective) • Physics list: identical data files • Range cuts (0.7mm, changed to 0.1mm) • No energy thresholds • Text output implemented into projective LCDG4 • Same angular distributions (input from binary stdhep file): theta = 90deg , flat in phi • Geant4 external data files not used (don’t matter?) • Materials (some differences, maybe ok for cals?) • No bugs!!!
Hcal: number of hits Thresholds At 700 keV
Conclusions • Some low-level discrepancies in both ECal and HCal (materials?!) • Should we go for Geant3 cross checks? • Need better sampling fractions (Vishnu?) • Need to understand peaks at ECal absorbers • Keep an eye on processing times: • 1.3 sec/evt (50 GeV muons) • 19 sec/evt (50 GeV pions) • 30 sec/evt (50 GeV positrons)
Next steps • Still some checks needed for reliable comparisons: • Make sure materials used are the same • Energy = 50 GeV, not momentum • Investigate origin of discrepancies • Think about digitization (energies into ADC counts)
