3. Motivation
International collaboration trying to improve the models used for a dual readout calorimeter using Geant4 simulation software
Ultimate goal: find the right material to use for a dual readout calorimeter so the results from the simulations can be as accurate as possible
The data must be organized into a database and be easily retrievable via a Web application

4. Background: Structure Query Language (SQL) Database
SQL is a computer declarative language that accesses and modifies a database, which is organized into a series of tables
SQL uses prepared statements to insert, update, retrieve, delete, and find specific pieces of data in the database
Example prepared statement:
INSERT INTO tags (name,value,iid) VALUES (?,?,?)

5. Dual Readout Calorimeter Database
Every plot can be identified by an ID number, category, tag names, and tag values
Plot ID: 206
Category: SiPM
Tag Name
Value
detector
Ham-025U_4
date
110103
property
IV_forw_diode
scale
log

6. DR Image Web Application
Allows a user to find and display plots from the database, just by interacting with a Web page
Originally, this application only allowed the user to select a plot based on an ID number
Project goal: allow the user to select a plot by category, tags, and values
Categories:
Tag names:
Tag Values:

7. JavaServer Pages (JSP)
JSP: a combination of Java (processes the information) and HTML (organizes the layout of the Web page)
Client

8. JavaScript (JS)
JSP: useful for collecting user data, but not very user-interactive
JS: run on the client's side and allows for more user interaction than JSP
JS:
JSP:
User input
Text fields
Check boxes
Database connection
User interaction
Tooltips
Image pop-ups
Dynamic tables
Image zooming

11. Example (cont) Sort by (multiple) columns:
sort by sample in ascending order
Search all columns: BSO6_A
Hover over plot ID number for a preview of the image

12. Final Examples View individual plots with table of tags & values
Zoom & pan on an image
Open a plot as a pop-up to view multiple plots side-by-side

13. Summary & Future Work
The Geant4 Dual Readout Calorimeter Project is an international collaboration trying to find the best materials to use to make the DR Calorimeter as accurate as possible
Hundreds of thousands of tests might eventually be run in Geant4, which will accumulate a great deal of data that needs to be stored
Ultimate goal: the database will become a knowledge base of information describing all of the information needed to run a simulation with a specific type of crystal.
