1. Advanced examples Test & Analysis Project LowE e.m. physics
Maria Grazia Pia, INFN Genova
on behalf of the T&A team, LowE+advanced ex. WG et al.
Geant4 Workshop, CERN, 4 October 2002

2. Advanced examples LHC-like examples on their way…
lAr_calorimeter, composite_calorimeter in CVS, running and producing plots
Thanks to Sunanda Banerjee (CMS) and Peter Loch (Atlas) for providing test beam applications as a starting point
Thanks to Alex, Henrique (Boulby Mine exp.), Lorenzo (Anaphe), Pedro (CMS), Alberto, Patricia (LCG-CERN/IT/API) for helping with the “pedagogical transformation” of the test beam codes
Work will continue in the next weeks, in view of the December release
LHC experiments are welcome to review the examples, provide suggestions, improvements (also in future releases)
Perhaps also useful as benchmarking testbeds?
Other LHC-like examples welcome
LHCb? First contacts established, postponed because of limitation of resources

3. Test & Analysis project
Fruitful and collaborative discussions across various WGs
Thanks to Alberto, Andreas, Gabriele, Lorenzo, Michael, Pablo, Sandra, Sergei, Susanna…
Agreement on the vision proposed on Tuesday morning
Review of requirements
2 new versions in a week!
analysis of need, priority, stability
identification of sub-teams responsible for each requirement (STT, AIDA, Anaphe, physics WGs, project team etc.)
Update in CVS/web by the weekend
Still to be clarified: contribution of Anaphe members to the project
they are key team members for the success of the whole project!
Analysis and design of the system needed soon…

4. LowE e.m. sessions Joint session with users “Developers” session
Highly successful (10 user presentations, wide audience, in spite of low tone announcement)
Results, problems, requirements… all will be available on the web
Lot of interest (and work done by WG members) on GRID, distributed computing…
“Developers” session
Review of recent results and current status
Still open problems: electron processes, performance
Extensions and improvements (Compton, Bremsstrahlung), in response to URs
Still lack of resources for physics consolidation, core testing, performance studies
Cosmic ray physics (organized by LowE, joint with std e.m. and hadronic)
Interest for collaboration with Univ. Campinas on fluorescence extensions

5. Highlights and outlook… (a personal selection)
Ignominy…
Distributed computing, GRID…
Performance optimisation…
Inter-WGs projects… (e.g. Test & Analysis)
Openness to the world around us…
Users, physics, technology, tools…
Reports at next year’s workshop!
