This is the first mailing to a new list [log in to unmask] You should have received notification that you have been added to it. It was seeded with a small group of those currently active. The list is intended to foster a web archived discussion on LCD simulations - status, problems, fixes etc. It will get wider announcement later next week. There is a link to the list and archive from our LCD web (the mailbox at the bottom of the left panel on the home page). In December, we had promised upgrades to the Gismo geometry package to allow tapered arbitrarily placed tracking/VTX layers and endcap disks. Plus endplates for the TPC. These are all in place now. We need to set up the S & L geometries and run off some many hundreds of events to verify the code. Then tar it up for distribution. The other major effort has been the fastMC. This has endured some mission creep and changes of directions. The calorimetry simulation is a fair bit more involved than the Snowmass version and the tracking folks have radically changed their track parametrization scheme. The first version of the calorimeter smear is close to ready and the tracking smear is being refurbished now. I am hoping we'll have the Gismo code verified and shippable early next week. Note that no Linux debugging has happened yet. I'm hoping the fastMC first version will be out by the middle to end of next week. It will undergo major overhaul when the rush is over! So, please use this list to air suggestions, problems and solutions. Use meaningful subject lines, since that is how the web archives will be listed!
