Hello Brandon, It's not very well documented, but this just came up recently in discussions, so I'll copy what Guilherme Lima posted recently. Norman I found hep.lcd.geometry.CalorimeterCellNewTag.java, which answers some of my previous questions, as I write down below. There are still remaining questions: > The questions are: are there convention behind system > numbers? If so, where is this documented? > > How many bits are used for sysNo? I vaguely remind > having seen some java code using 2-bits for system, > plus one bit for barrel/endcap flag and another bit > for north/south flag, but I can't find this code anymore. 3 bits for sysNo 1 bit for barrel/endcap flag 7 bits for ilayer 10 bits for itheta 11 bits for iphi
