Announcements
Today, pull request tests have been failing due to a missing RPM on sandd1.jlab.org, where the tests run. hdgeant4 could not find one of its shared libraries. Mark submitted a request to have the boost-python36-devel package installed.
Review of minutes from the last meeting
We went over the minutes from the meeting on August 10. We discussed Issue #181: G3/G4 Difference in FDC wire efficiency at the cell boundary. Alex has posted his efficiency measurement on bggen events. Using an old version of the reconstruction code, he shows a similar difference in efficiency when compared to simulated ρ events as Richard showed with modern reconstruction.
We came to the conclusion that further investigation was getting into the region of diminishing marginal returns and the changes already made to mcsmear are a bit advance over what we had before. Alex will close this issue. If further investigation turns out to be necessary, the issue can be re-raised for the halld_sim repository.
