---+ Latest ECal iteration

This page will be periodically updated to contain my latest DD4hep implementation of the ECal.

%TOC% 

This version uses Shaojun Lu's DDSim implementation of the ILD !SiW ECal (Barrel, !EndCap and ECRing):
   * drivers: =SEcal04_Barrel.cpp=, =SEcal04_ECRing.cpp= and  =SEcal04_Endcaps.cpp=  
   * xml: =ECal.xml= (and inclusions) containing ECal parameters taken from the DB ([[http://www-flc.desy.de/ldcoptimization/tools/mokkamodels.php?model=ILD_o1_v06][ILD_o1_v06]]). One could use the =dumpModelParameters.py= included in the =DDSim/ILD= package to update this set.

Get the tarball from [[%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/ECal-v2.tgz][here]] and follow the instructions from [[AddDetDD4hep][here]], then run
<verbatim>
./build.sh
</verbatim>
which should display this:<br/>
<img src="%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/LatestEcal.png" alt="LatestEcal.png" width="499" height="452" />


---++ Model parameters

The model parameters are tabulated here:

---+ Troubleshooting

Running the original script
<verbatim>
python scripts/dumpModelParameters.py ILD_o1_v06
</verbatim>
will not produce a valid XML file. One has to edit it by hand and add the &lt;define&gt; &lt;/define&gt; tags as well as all units (=*mm=). Some of the materials and double double quotes had to be removed else it didn't work. The tarball above contains a patched script.
