Service Work List for GSIM

GSIM is the GEANT-based simulation of the CLAS. The service work list consists both of tasks related to development of the actual GSIM code and also of tasks related to its application in projects of general interest to the CLAS collaboration. The list of useful projects evolves continually and interested parties are encouraged to discuss projects of current interest with the contacts listed below. Training and support is available for all of these projects.

Development of the GSIM code

Make needed improvements to the existing (FORTRAN/C) GSIM code (click here for a list of projects, or contact Maurik Holtrop at 603-862-2019).
Participate in the development of the new C++ based GEANT4 code (contact John Hardie)

Development of auxiliary code for GSIM work

Develop GSIMKO (contact: Dennis Weygand)
Develop other code in support of acceptance calculations with GSIM (click here for a list of projects, or contact Will Brooks at 603-862-2019).

Contribute CPU cycles for GSIM calculations

Make available some fraction of time on CPU's to which you have access. It is not required that you directly manage the use of these cpu's; it is acceptable to make an account available to manage long simulation runs.

Manage long GSIM runs

Initiate, monitor, and archive the results of GSIM runs on CPU farms. You do not have to have a cpu farm to contribute in this way; you can manage runs on existing farms.

Perform post-GSIM processing of simulated data

Perform large-scale post-GSIM processing of simulated data, including application of the dead wire maps, using the trigger simulator, and cooking the simulated data.

Administrative work related to GSIM

Assist experimenters in developing simulation proposals
Evaluate proposals for large-scale calculations
Prioritize and schedule GSIM calculations, including acting as a liaison with run managers of local cpu farms

Develop event generators for use with GSIM

Improve the CELEG event generator or other event generators which have general utility to the collaboration
Develop and implement a scheme to merge events from several event generators
