New features

larsim PR 34

On SBND new geometry we’re changing the sizes of XARAPUCAS such that they are not longer the same as those of the ARAPUCAS. So now every time the dimensions need to be updated such that they reflect the actual size of the current optical detector.

sbndcode will need PR SBNSoftware/sbndcode#6

larsim PR 36

When searching for IDE from a Hit, the default time start is defined as hit->PeakTimeMinusRMS() in MCCheater::BackTracker. However, both the longitudinal and transverse diffusion will broaden the hit width in a more realistic simulation. As a result, 1-RMS is not enough to cover all charges of an IDE. I suggest that we can change this time window in the configuration. The default value is still 1-RMS, while we suggest 3.5-RMS when it’s necessary.

To change the default value, please add this line to your fhicl:

services.BackTrackerService.BackTracker.HitTimeRMS: 3.5

Bug fixes

lardataalg PR 9
- Fix uninitialized variables encountered by sbndcode
- #24903
larsim PR 35
- The LightSource module generates photons at specific points of the world. The points can be specified by a text file, and each line of the text file will determine a volume and generate photons in there for the event. The next event will read the parameters from the next line of the text file, and so on.
  When the text file is over, if further events are requested the module is supposed to start over with the settings at the beginning of the file, and then move on from there.
- The wrap action at the end of the file was buggy so that the generation point for the first event after wrapping would be taken from uninitialised memory, while the other parameters would be unchanged. The next event would then correctly read the first line of the steering file.
- I have not investigated when this bug was introduced. My suspicion is that before my last changes, the bug was there but would effectively use the entire set of parameters from the previous event (no uninitialised memory access), hiding the issue and, in case of a single line in the steering file, producing the expected result.
