Workfest Descriptions

ZDC Reconstruction and Physics Studies

POSTPONED to next collaboration meeting

 

Electronics & DAQ

Organizers: Jeff Landgraf and Fernando Barbosa

Topics to be addressed:  Front-end electronics and finalizing ASIC requirements. DSC's are strongly encouraged to participate. 

 

Connecting Physics Observables to Detector Performance

Organizers: Salvatore Fazio, Rachel Montgomery, Rosi Reed

Topics to be addressed: The use of low-level physics observables, like E-pz resolution, etc., to benchmark and track detector performance for the preTDR

 

PID Cross-Cutting WG

Organizers: Thomas Ullrich, Umberto Tamponi

Topics to be addressed: Discuss some software issues with focus on a discussion around a global PID scheme for ePIC and potentially also the ToF part and we will also have a discussion on the future of the group and if it should morph into a software only effort given the TIC and the many DSC meetings

 

Exclusive and Diffractive Physics Working Group

Organizers: Zhoudunming Tu, Raphael Dupre, Stephen Kay

Topics to be addressed: Follow up on all active analyses, currently we have about 8-10!!
Their progress in making into the publication cutoff time; namely by the collaboration meeting, whether they have demonstrated sufficient studies and fulfill the quality of the QA standard. Status on the exclusive paper writing and publication status. 

 

Streaming Computing Working Group

Organizers: Torre Wenaus, Markus Diefenthaler, Taku Gunji

Topics to be addressed: Discuss the testbeds we're developing around the streaming computing model. Testbeds are in development on streaming workflows, streaming reconstruction, calibration workflows, streaming analysis, and potentially others 

 

Tracking Workfest

Organizers: Barak Schmookler, Ernst Sichtermann, Shujie Li 

Topics to be addressed: First, we will have a session where we give an overview of the current tracking-related information that is being saved to our output files. Then we will go over some existing tracking and vertexing analysis scripts and how they can be extended for more complex studies. Second, we will have some discussion on future development work. We will talk about improving the track reconstruction with additional features, implementing detector noise, and tracking in timeframes.

 

Outreach Workfest

Organizers: Elke Aschenauer and Jana Bielcikova

Topics to be addressed: Plan and organize future EICUG/ePIC Outreach efforts

 

AC-LGAD TOF Workfest

Organizers: Zhangbu Xu, Satoshi Yano

Topics to be addressed:  Advance the technical design of both the barrel and forward AC-LGAD TOF detectors. 

 

Data-Software Interface

Organizers: Martin Purschke, Dmitry Kalinkin, Derek Anderson

Topics to be addressed: This workfest will survey the status of and make improvements to the interface between data and our software stack. With several recent test beams and many being planned, now is a critical time to identify how we can concretely support test beams and future data-taking with our stack. The workfest, while short, will have 2 parts. A discussion with representatives from recent and near-future (e.g. LFHCAL, EEEMCal, dRICH, BHCal,...) test beams and benchtop setups to assess status of their analysis software and identify needs in the central stack. This will be followed by an open work session where we will map out specific tasks to accomplish to support these and future tests and begin making concrete progress on them. 

 

Jets and Heavy Flavor Physics Working Group 

Organizers: Rongrong Ma, Olga Evdokimov

Topics to be addressed: This workfest will review the ongoing analyses in the working group and keep the momentum going.
