<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="HOWTO_Request:_Adding_New_Detector">HOWTO Request:
Adding New Detector</span></h3>
<p>Recently Igal went through the exercise of adding a new
detector to the simulation and reconstruction. He found
there were a lot of details to manage to get a working
system, details for which he could not find
documentation. He made a request for a HOWTO on adding a
new detector to the system.

from the Last HDGeant4 Meeting</span></h3>
<p>We went over the <a

title="HDGeant4 Meeting, February 23, 2021">minutes
from the meeting on February 23rd</a>. At that meeting
we discusses a plan of action to have our various
software packages use a consistent scheme for assigning
photon energy based on a given hit in a tagger counter,
simulation and data, old reconstruction launches and
new. Richard has already implemented many of the
changes. See <a rel="nofollow" class="external text"
