Hi Nathan, actually you are right, there are not so many differences related to ecal - I was misled since many constant definitions moved their line in the lcdd list. However, I made a 1:1 check of these constants, and a few of them which are present in the original version of lcdd (I'm referring to HPS-EngRun2015-Nominal-v1, for instance) are missing in the recreated one. They are (not sure I spotted them all): <constant name="sensorLength" value="98.33" /> <constant name="z01b" value="153.815" /> <constant name="dipoleMagnetHeight" value="1000.0" /> <constant name="ecal_z" value="80.0" /> <constant name="sensorWidth" value="38.3399" /> <constant name="PI" value="3.14159265359" /> <constant name="moduleLength" value="100.0" /> not sure if they are really useful... but I find it strange they had been removed in the new converter. Is this ok? I cannot say if the reverse is also valid, that is, if there are new constants which were not present on the original file (I'll check). Moreover, in the original lcdd I find this stanza <physvol> <volumeref ref="tracking_volume" /> <positionref ref="identity_pos" /> <rotationref ref="identity_rot" /> </physvol> while in the recreated one I read <positionref ref="tracking_region_pos" /> is everything normal?

Is this due to the changes in Ecal geometry, so in principle this recreated lcdd should be more compliant to out new hps_java code?
