1. MuonGeoModel: status and plans
Simulation on slc4 64-bits platforms: Recent tests used to disable the Muon Spectrometer because of a crash in MuonGeoModel
Fixed an instrinsic type mismatch in RpcReadoutElement
(MuonGeoModel collected for )
Common tracking EDM: Duplication of RPC, TGC, CSC surfaces to separate eta and phi views, so that generic track-fitters can treat eta and phi measurements in the same way
Changes to the code well defined; will go into
Deformations (B-lines parameters): not yet implemented but the strategy is defined (main contributor in the past T. Moore)
Implementation limited to the readout geometry (layer used by reconstruction client, not by the simulation)
All deformations (other than sagging) can be represented as displaced wire end-points for a rigid wire (some related calculation implemented in MdtChamberDeformationSvc)
MuonGeoModel will hold B-line parameters in a new class, they will be updated run-time by some service querying cond DB on a IoV basis
MuonGeoModel will use B-line parameters to correct tube positions and transforms with the methods provided in MdtChamberDeformationSvc
Corrected geometry will be transparently available to tracking clients
