MiceModule MotivationMiceModule Motivation• Refer to Domains diagram (next slide):
– Several different domains that have specific tasks/responsibilities (e.g. Reconstruction, Simulation, Visualisation, Analysis).
– Each of these tasks requires accurate knowledge of some subset of the information that specifies a given configuration (e.g. MICE stage 6)
• We need to be able to know that for any different application that should have the same configuration, that it does have it.
• We also need the ability to deliberately make differences in order to study systematics (e.g. wrong field in reconstruction, misaligned components, magnetic axis != magnet bore axis, etc...)
• Solution:– One model per configuration– Many representations of this model, one for each specific use

Model vs. RepresentationModel vs. Representation
• A Model describes everything about a stage of MICE that is needed to perform any software task, however not necessarily in a format that is usable by the code.
• A model does not depend on any task specific external (or internal) library (e.g. G4, RecPack, X11).
• For each specific task that requires the use of the model, a representation is built for that task that combines the knowledge of the configuration in the Model with the application specific code for that task.

MiceModule 1/2MiceModule 1/2
• Single class in Config package provides the modeling of any MICE stage.
• Each instance has a volumeType (currently Box, Cylinder, Tube) with certain dimensions, a position with respect to the module that it is placed inside of and an orientation with respect to the axis of the object that it is placed inside.
• Each instance can report its position and rotation with respect to its mother and any of its mother’s mothers up to and including the global coordinate system (i.e. the MICE Hall).
MICE CM15 11th June 2006 - Malcolm Ellis 7
MiceModule 2/2MiceModule 2/2
• In addition to the basic geometrical information, a MiceModule can hold an arbitrary number of properties of type:– bool, int, double, string or Hep3Vector
• These properties are used to define any aspect of the module that is needed for one or more representations.
• If required, further types can be added in the future.
MICE CM15 11th June 2006 - Malcolm Ellis 8
Example PropertiesExample Properties
• PropertyBool– Invisible 1 don’t visualise this module
• PropertyInt– Station 4 the station number
• PropertyDouble– Pitch 0.420 mm the fibre pitch– RedColour 0.5 how much red to use
• PropertyString– Material POLYSTYRENE what material to
simulate– SensitiveDetector TOF make hits in this module
• PropertyHep3Vector– MagneticField 0.0 0.0 1.0 tesla fixed field
MICE CM15 11th June 2006 - Malcolm Ellis 9
UnitsUnits• In CLHEP/Units/SystemOfUnits.h a self-consistent set of constants is defined that
allows users to maintain the correct values with a variety of units in use.• This is used in GEANT4, and in G4MICE (mostly, needs to be explicitly used all the
time!)• E.g.
– mm = 1.0– cm = 10.0 * mm– meter = 1000.0 * mm– micrometer = 1e-3 * mm– parsec = 3.0856775087e16 * meter– fermi = 1e-15 * meter– ...
• The two text input formats (datacards and MiceModules definition files) will now use any CLHEP unit so long as that unit is spelt the same as in the CLHEP definition (WARNING! US vs. UK English)
• E.g.– AverageMomentum 325 MeV– PropertyDouble X0 30391.82 cm
• If the unit name is not known, then an error message is generated and the “natural unit” for that type will be used (WARNING! the natural unit for length is mm, but for magnetic field is 10000 tesla)

MaterialsMaterials
• We used to let each bit of code define its own G4Material.
• This resulted in more work for developers making components (had to do all the physical and logical volume work by hand from scratch) and resulted in many copies of the same material (e.g. scintillator in TOF0, TOF1, TOF2, SciFi, EmCal)
• Now we use G4.7.1.p01 we have access to the list of NIST materials.
• Interface to this in G4MICE is the class MiceMaterials
MICE CM15 11th June 2006 - Malcolm Ellis 12
MiceMaterialsMiceMaterials
• Class in Interface contains a list of G4Materials by their name.
• Function takes a string and returns the G4Material.
• If the name is not found, an error message is printed out and vacuum is returned.
• Contains the complete set of National Institute of Standards and Technology materials that come with G4.
• Also contains specific materials that we need to define in MICE (e.g. Aerogel).

RepresentationsRepresentations
• Code to create representations has been written for three areas:– Simulation: builds all the GEANT4 classes
automatically, including making the SciFi and TOF detectors sensitive.
– Reconstruction: build the complete description required in RecPack automatically, and is used by the Reconstructed classes to determine the position of hits, points, etc.
– Visualisation: buid a HepRep XML file to visualise the model with a program such as WIRED.
MICE CM15 11th June 2006 - Malcolm Ellis 15
Simulation RepresentationSimulation Representation
• Each Box, Cylinder and Tube is automatically turned into the correct G4 objects.
• The material properties as well as visualisation attributes and fixed magnetic field information is passed to G4.
• Special purpose volumes are also allowed, at the moment the SciFi fibres are built in this manner.
• Two sensitive detectors are currently implemented (TOF and SciFi), EmCal will be added next.

ReconstructionReconstruction
• Classes in reconstruction can find out the global (or local!) coordinates of an object by asking the relevant MiceModule class for its position and orientation.
• The Kalman fitting package requires a detailed description of the positions, sizes and material properties of each object as well as the logic for navigating through these.
• This description is now generated automatically from the MiceModules.
• Positions, sizes and magnetic fields are taken from the standard properties shown already.
• An additional property X0 is used to define the radiation lenth for the purposes of calculating the MCS covariance matrix.

VisualisationVisualisation
• The Visualisation package no longer requires libsx/X11.
• Some simple code takes the MiceModules and turns them into a HepRep file which can be visualised.
• This is currently very basic, but will be extended to allow visualisation of the bare geometry, simulated events and real data.
• Also get other visualisation methods (VRML, OpenGL, etc) for “free” with GEANT4 with the Simulation application.

ConfigurationsConfigurations
• A single text file is used to describe a configuration.
• A configuration will use one or more modules that are defined separately.
• Each module can contain 0 or more sub modules (and so on).
• The syntax of files that describe configurations and modules is the same.

• Stage1:• Beam line that is in the MICE hall• Upstream and downstream TOF• CKOV• Calorimeter
• Stages 2-6:•Progressively add trackers, absorbers,•RF cavities, etc
•Individual model definitions do not change, just whether they are used and where they are placed.
•Scheme does not care about MICE hall, so can model (for e.g.) KEK test setup.

MiceModules Further WorkMiceModules Further Work
• Four main areas need work in the immediate future:– EmCal (and later CKOV) sensitive detector
needs to be implemented.– Improve model of RFCC and AFC modules (in
particular safety windows.– Realistic fields (from coil current and/or field
map files) need to be added (both magnets and RF).
– Documentation!!!
MICE CM15 11th June 2006 - Malcolm Ellis 33
Reconstruction StatusReconstruction Status
• SciFi and TOF reconstruction now uses full MiceModules features and has been used on real data.
• Once Digitisation of TOF is finalised (next slide) the reconstruction will be tested with simulated data and a release made.
• This release will be sufficient for stand-alone tracker and/or TOF work that does not require the cooling channel or realistic fields.
MICE CM15 11th June 2006 - Malcolm Ellis 34
Reconstruction PlansReconstruction Plans
• Finalise TOF Digitisation
• Test Reconstruction using simulated data.
• Release first version of Reconstruction under new scheme (aim for mid-end July).
• Ongoing upgrade of RecPack (use of field maps) will carry on with the reintegration of realistic fields in G4MICE.
MICE CM15 11th June 2006 - Malcolm Ellis 35
Software WorkshopsSoftware Workshops
• 9th Software Workshop was held at Fermilab immediately before this meeting.
• Well attended and very productive:– Aron Fish, Ben Freemire, Jean-Sebastien Graulich, Terry Hart,
Takashi Matsushita, Chris Rogers, Hideyuki Sakamoto, Rikard Sandstrom, Yagmur Torun, Michael Wojck, Makoto Yoshida
• Most of the MICE models that were shown in this talk (as well as other talks in the tracker session) were produced by a few students, specifically:– IIT: Ben Freemire and Mike Wojck– Geneva: Rikard Sandstrom– Imperial: Aron Fish
• In addition Lara Howlett was unable to come to Chicago but did a lot of work to test and debug the MiceModules code prior to the Software Workshop.
MICE CM15 11th June 2006 - Malcolm Ellis 36
SM9SM9
• Goals of the workshop were:– Software for the KEK test beam analysis:
• Unable to complete digitisation and hence simulation effort for this.
• Was able to complete reconstruction and analysis code and analysis 400k events (Aron Fish’s talk in tracker session).
– Continued development and use of MiceModules• Units were added (Chris Rogers) and many new modules
and configurations were created.
– Design work towards upgrade of field map utilities• Done (Chris Rogers)• Work is now in progress to implement the changes (Chris).

Future WorkFuture Work
• Field maps (in MiceModules to be used by Simulation, Reconstruction and Analysis)
• Upgrade of RecPack (improve tracker reconstruction)• Use new software to perform tracker optimisation
studies.• Add EmCal to MiceModules scheme like TOF and SciFi• Documentation (web)• Testing (new CVS area)• Internal review (with external consultation) planned for
the end of this year (probably around the October CM).• Always very happy to train new users/developers (two
summer students started from scratch and produced 6 MICE stages in under a week!)
