<div dir="ltr">Hi Richard,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the files. You aren't seeing any BCAL showers because the BCAL hits in the EVIO file all have zero energy in them. This happened because previously the BCAL hit energies were being stored in units of MeV, now in your branch they are in GeV, and the scale conversions in the rawevent plugin and DBCALHit_factory haven't been updated to reflect this. </div>
<div><br></div><div>After fixing that I'm getting consistent results for the BCAL showers. As I mentioned before, the FDC issue is waiting on the translation table to be updated, so besides that, I don't see any show stoppers at the moment. Please let me know if you see any more problems, though!</div>

</div>
<div>To answer your last question first, I've been checking the consistency of this process, so I can answer at least some of your questions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- The loss in FDC hits (which presumably causes the tracking problems you see) is due to a known problem in the translation table for the FDC wires. A fix is on the way.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- I haven't seen the problems in BCAL showers that you're reporting (and I just checked Monday!). If you can provide some sample files, I can take a look at this for you.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am working on validating the sim-recon-rj-pm branch before we check it into the trunk, and one of the things I am doing is making sure that the tagger hits that are now being decoded from the evio fADC/TDC structs are properly showing up as dana objects
in the analysis. To do this, I am running simulation output files through the hddm -> evio converter and then reading the events back into dana from evio input files. The problem is that I am seeing lots of missing hits that get dropped during this coding/decoding
process, and I wonder if this is correct. BTW, I also see it for trunk code, although the output from hdgeant is different between the two branches so I cannot do event-by-event comparisons. Here is what I see:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>BCAL - same number of hits (DBCALHit objects), but major decrease in the number of clusters (DBCALShower, DBCALCluster) that are made out of them. Is something being incorrectly transmitted through the filter?
</li><li>FCAL - things all look consistent here</li><li>CDC - same number of hits before and after</li><li>FDC - 10% loss of hits (DFDCHit objects) , but major decrease in higher level objects like DFDCPseudo, DFDCIntersection which have 90% loss.
</li><li>StartCounter - same number of hits before and after</li><li>FTOF - some hits are missing, but the higher-level objects (DTOFPaddleHit, DTOFPoint) seem consistent, maybe just a threshold cut?</li><li>Track objects - there may be a correlation between the pre-filter and post-filter statistics on these objects, but it is not obvious. The counts are rarely consistent between them for any of the track objects.
</li><li>Neutrals objects - ditto.</li></ul>
<div>Is there someone who is taking the lead in studying the behavior of this filter? Should I ignore these differences, and consider the to/from evio capability of our offline to be unready for actual use?</div>
