Simulation Tasks - collection

• Implement EEEMCal (contact: Carlos)

• Implement barrel homogeneous EMCal (contact: Nathaly)

• Compare different reconstruction algorithms

• Investigate discrimination between single photon and merged photons from pi0 decay based on cluster

tower energy distribution; same for e/pi separation - possibly explore machine learning application

• Hybrid calorimeter clustering

• see JLab HyCal

• Light transport going beyond summing up GEANT4 hits

• Determine impact of calorimeter support structure on physics performance; define module geometry

• study/conclude on the tolerance for the size of the gaps between modules (defined by the alveolar and other support elements); also for the transition region between two calorimeters.

• Angular (rapidity) dependencies: for non-projective geometry for modules with the same length, the EMCal depth seen by the particle will depend on rapidity (with 45 degrees to the beam line it will be a factor of sqrt(2) larger compared to 0 degree). We know that the item 1 will be affected (shower profile), but simple E/p matching performance for eID may be affected too (deeper EMCal - more probability for charged hadron to shower); also the affect of gaps will be different with the angle.

• Comparison of simulation with test beam data (electrons, pions, etc) and find the ways for simulation

tuning (e.g. light transport model and/or non-uniformity map, etc.)
