With the recent passage of the omnibus spending bill and the expectation that
some number of the university detector R&D projects will be funded by DOE and
NSF, we expect that new groups will be joining the linear collider simulation
effort. In addition, there have been some recent advances in the simulation
tools of which we would like to inform the community. We are, therefore,
planning a small workshop at SLAC devoted to presentations, tutorials and
working meetings related to simulation efforts.
The workshop will take place May 19-22, 2003, with the following
tentative topics:
| GEANT4 -- New/improved simulation tools for linear collider
physics |
| JAS3 and hep.lcd -- The next major release of Java based
linear collider analysis tools. |
| LCDROOT -- Root based tools for LCD data analysis
|
| WIRED -- A general purpose customizable event display |
| AIDA -- Abstract Interfaces for Data Analysis -- (a new HEP
histograming/analysis standard) |
| LCIO -- A new international standard for linear collider IO
|
| Full Reconstruction |
| Energy Flow algorithms |
| Detector models |
