New features

larpandora PR 9
- Following last week’s larpandora feature, a change in strategy was decided, and so some elements from last week’s release have been deliberately reverted. Specifically, the decision to divide up the dual phase detector into specific volumes, with a stitching process to connect crossing particles, has been reverted. Instead, the reconstruction proceeds in a single volume. (The stitching procedure would have worked, but not on timescale required for current planned ProtoDUNE-DP production.)
larpandoracontent PR 8
- This pull request contains the latest additions to larpandoracontent. In particular, two tools, that exploit the two-view 2D->3D matching mechanics previously included in LArSoft v08_57_00 release, have been added, and can be readily used in the reconstruction for ProtoDUNE-DP:
  - The LongTracks tool performs matching in case of obvious ambiguities, when one of the matching candidates is significantly longer than the others;
  - The SimpleTracks tool selects the best candidate according to a set of conditions.
- The pull request also includes new tuning of matching parameters to optimise performance.
- The updated XML settings file can be found in the dunetpc feature branch feature/newPandoraDPfeature_caloMatching.
- The new features have been initially included in a PandoraPFA pull request, available here.
- Continuous integration tests and valgrind memory checks were run and no issues were found.
larsim PR 29
- Prevent implicit downcasting from double to int in VUVHits() and VISH…
- #24433
larsim PR 30
- This is the first version of the proposed solution to Redmine issue #24600.
- There are two main assumptions that have been applied in general, but should have been applied only when using the semi-analytic model (or better, when using it with SBND detector and maybe ProtoDUNE, for which those assumptions are satisfied):
  - scintillation light is propagated only from the TPC active volume
    - for the way this is implemented, another assumption is required: the detector has a single monolithic active volume, e.g. it has only one cryostat
  - scintillation light does not go through the cathode, which is fully opaque
- This pull request is made of several commits that can be grouped in three sets:
  - preparation (commits 731a89f, 84ca9f3, e2af375, 4b74396 and 23f5d80):
    - the determination of the active volumes is corrected to extract them from all cryostats; LArSoft geometry facilities are used for this; the requirement above is not lifted: this is a change in preparation for the figure support of multi-cryostat detectors
    - OpFastScintillation object is copiable but the copy is bugged (both copy will attempt to destroy the same memory); I turned it into a moveable, non-copiable object, as copy was not necessary (nor is move, actually)
    - introduced an explicitly named OpFastScintillation::usesSemiAnalyticModel() method that will help to highlight the model-specific parts of the code
    - these changes do not change the behaviour of the code
  - fix (commit 1ab8718):
    - introduced fOnlyActiveVolume flag marking the implementation of light propagation only from the active volume; if this flag is not set, the implementation will avoid steps which would require light propagation only from the active volume; in other words, if fOnlyActiveVolume is true if the scintillation source is not in the active volume it is not propagated, if it is false the propagation is attempted no matter where the source is; this is automatically set to true only if the semi-analytic model is used (usesSemiAnalyticModel() is true)
    - introduced fOnlyOneCryostat option: setting this to true will acknowledge that the photon propagation might not be performed in cryostats beyond the first one (C:0); if this option is false, the detector has more than one cryostat and semi-analytic mode is used, an exception will be thrown, otherwise run will proceed; this is meant as a temporary option for testing the semianalytic model on a single cryostat in detectors like ICARUS, while the support to the full detector is being developed by somebody else; this flag is currently hard-coded to false, i.e. using semi-analytic model on multi-cryostat detectors will always throw an exception, while other models are unaffected
    - introduced fOpaqueCathode flag marking the code assuming cathode opaqueness; if this flag is true, optimisations may be enabled not to propagate the scintillation light to optical detectors that are not facing the same TPC where scintillation happens; otherwise, all optical detectors are considered for propagation (any TPC, any cryostat); this flag is currently hard-coded to false because LArSoft does not have a way to detect nor express whether the cathode is transparent or opaque; this is for use in future implementations.
  - some internals interacting with GeometryCore service provider have been converted to use geo::Point_t as point type instead of std::array<double, 3>, since the former is the recommended LArSoft interface (commits 9e07e5a and bfe915b); this change does not affect the behaviour of the class and it is not required in the resolution of the issue.
- It can be noted that the “fixes” at point 2 are very little about actions and a lot about marking assumptions throughout the code.
  The hope is that this will make a bit easier to have full support of semi-analytic, which the SBN program is studying as an option, model for detectors like ICARUS. That will be Redmine issue #24601
