We spent some time discussing Matt's suggestion (from two meetings ago, actually) of having all random-number related processes, such as smearing, occur in a stage before reconstruction and having the results of that stage written to disk. David pointed out that there is already a program, mcsmear that takes the hdgeant output and produces smeared hits in HDDM format, suitable for the reconstruction program. Right now only tracking is smeared but it would be straightforward to do smearing of the calorimeters as well.

Review of Last Meeting's Minutes

We spent some time discussing Matt's suggestion (from two meetings ago, actually) of having all random-number related processes, such as smearing, occur in a stage before reconstruction and having the results of that stage written to disk. David pointed out that there is already a program, mcsmear that takes the hdgeant output and produces smeared hits in HDDM format, suitable for the reconstruction program. Right now only tracking is smeared but it would be straightforward to do smearing of the calorimeters as well.
