This page is a prototype of a glossary for Mu2e. The style of this page is taken from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Glossary.

Some questions:

  1. Do we need a glossary. I say yes because too many simple things are, otherwise, never properly defined.
  2. Who needs to be part of this discussion?
  3. What is the scope of this document?
    1. Just computing terms and put the physics and detector terms elsewhere?
    2. Computing terms plus physics and detector terms that are encountered in day to day computing work? The prototype is written like this.
    3. Do we make it more inclusive?
  4. Is this the right style? If not, what is.
  5. Does a link to this page belong on: Main_Page? From Computing? Other?

This page is a glossary and acronym dictionary that covers the terms and acronyms that one will encounter when working with the Mu2e software. For acronyms specific to the Mu2e Construction Project, see MAD: The Mu2e Acronym Dictionary .

CCD
Core Computing Division at Fermilab. An organization with the Fermilab Computing Sector (CS).
CLHEP
CLHEP: A Class Library for High Energy Physics is a 20+ year old class library that contains classes for 3-vectors, 4-vectors, Lorentz transformations, linear algebra, Random Number engines and Random Distributions. The GEANT4 simulation library makes extensive use of CLHEP. Early version of Mu2e reconstruction software also used CLHEP but this is being phased out in favor of the ROOT SMatrix package.
COMET
A competitor experiment, also building an experiment to look for Muon to Electron Conversion. Located at JPARC. See also the COMET Home Page.
CRV
The Mu2e Cosmic Ray Veto system. It is possible for a cosmic ray to interact with the Mu2e apparatus and the surrounding materials to produce a track that is indistinguishable from a conversion electron. The purpose of the CRV is to record when cosmic rays enter the detector. The CRV system tags events in which a cosmic ray has entered the Mu2e detector. During data analysis Mu2e will exclude exclude tagged events. Fixme: link to more CRV info
CS
The Fermilab Computing Sector. See https://computing.fnal.gov
Calorimeter
The Mu2e Electromagnetic Calorimeter; one of the subsystems of the Mu2e detector. It measures the energy of photons and electrons in the energy range of interest to Mu2e. Fixme: link to more cal information.
