\title{Preparing for the mock data challenge}

\author{Sho Uemura}
%\institute{SLAC}
\date[October 31, 2013]

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
	\titlepage
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Major steps, in order}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item Make beam background sample, run through SLIC
			\begin{itemize}
				\item This has to go first, to test the trigger and the event filters
			\end{itemize}
		\item Make trident and signal samples, run through SLIC
			\begin{itemize}
				\item This is the bulk of the batch processing --- a couple of months
			\end{itemize}
		\item Run readout, recon and DST; release the MDC 
	\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Details}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item Primary generators (tridents, hadrons): Takashi
			\begin{itemize}
				\item MadGraph generators for BH and radiative tridents are ready to test
			\end{itemize}
		\item Detector geometry
			\begin{itemize}
				\item Deadline 11/11; what we have is good enough
			\end{itemize}
		\item Tune/test trigger on latest beam background: Kyle
			\begin{itemize}
				\item Disabling hot crystals seems adequate
			\end{itemize}
	\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Boring production tasks}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item Oversampling EGS5 background
			\begin{itemize}
				\item Generate 5e5 bunches' worth of beam electrons and shuffle them into 5e7 bunches
			\end{itemize}
		\item SLIC installation and testing (2 tasks)
			\begin{itemize}
				\item Install latest ilcinstall release at JLab, getting it around the firewall
				\item We still have unexplained SLIC crashes/errors, must investigate
			\end{itemize}
		\item LHE->StdHep
			\begin{itemize}
				\item Tridents are fed into EGS5 to apply multiple scattering, EGS5 writes to StdHep file --- this works
				\item A' (even ``prompt'') decay after the target so they get converted directly to StdHep --- Matt has hps-java code for this, just need to make sure it does what I need
			\end{itemize}
		\item Batch job engineering
			\begin{itemize}
				\item We have the whole production chain (through recon) working for background+tridents; need more of the same for all the other stuff
				\item Production runs in units of 5e5 beam bunches; need to merge after readout so we don't have thousands of tiny files
			\end{itemize}
	\end{itemize}
