MDC2018

A multi-phase production for future studies. The main goals are:
- Replace the MCStepPoint samples generated for the CD3 review with equivalent samples using updated geometry
- Provide calibration and analysis samples in 'digi' format
- Integrate CRV, Calorimeter and Tracker data
- Provide official samples of signal (mu->e- and mu->e+) and the principal 'faux signal' processes including DIO, cosmic spallation, RMC, RPC
- Provide 'Mock Data' samples of undifferentiated combinations of signal and faux signal processes, formatted as a high-level skim
MDC2018 samples are intended to facilitate algorithm development, not to support updated precision values of sensitivity or background rates. As such, some approximations are made in the generation compatible with results being accurate at the 90% level.
MDC2018 production started with the CD3 proton-on-target (stage1) output. As such, updates to the production target geometry were not included.
Many updates have been made to the geometry since CD3, including:
- 21.5mm diameter hole in the stopping target to reduce radiation load on the tracker and STM
- 18 evenly-spaced Tracker stations with brass shielding interleaved
- Updated calorimeter crystal sizes and positions
- More realistic description of supports, cabling, electronics, etc.
- Realistic magnetic field map inside the cryostat (Mau13)
