Hello Jeremy, Thanks for implementing the field. I am not sure how much I should trust the visual picture, but the field you have is generated from the middle of the magnet (in Z), so if I am reading the picture correctly, field is shifted relative to the magnet. For completeness the same (X,+Z) distribution must be repeated for (X,-Z) half plane. One of things we have discussed with Norman some time ago is the need for a full 3-D field map (B_x, B_y, B_z) for (X, Y, Z) points. Will be good to know this early on.

This compares the HPS-Proposal2014-v5-2pt2 detector with HPS-Proposal2014-v4-fieldmap using the event file egs_tri_2.2gev_0.00125x0_200na_5e5b_30mr_001.stdhep. > > So it appears to me this is not really going to be useable in large scale simulation production until the algorithm for retrieving and interpolating the field values has been significantly optimized. > > —Jeremy > ######################################################################## > Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list > > To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: > https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1
