LHC Event Modelling Studies
Generated CMS Tracker and ECAL information for ~1000s of Higgs events, using the Caltech Exemplar
Converted (and made some major rewrites of) existing C++ Tracker and ECAL OO codes (Gaines,Qian,Behner) to make them Objy persistent and conform to an Event Model
Using these codes, created an Objy federation containing persistent hits, tracks, and energy clusters for each event
Explored different algorithms and strategies for track reconstruction and ECAL clustering: e.g. use of Objy indexes on hits, clustering of raw data objects
Wrote a simple Java applet for viewing the hits, tracks, clusters, and energy map in each event
Java clone of the track fitting is 80% complete … want to make performance comparisons with the C++ version
