2018-03-22 Rec v30r0

This version uses Lbcom v30r0, LHCb v50r0, Gaudi v30r2 and LCG_93 with ROOT 6.12.06

This version is released on `master` branch. The previous release on `master` branch was `Rec v22r1`.

This release includes the merge to master of the future branch, done in November 2017 - see !800 commit history for details of future changes that were included

This release also contains all the changes that were made in Rec v23r0 (released on 2018-patches branch, see corresponding release notes), as well as the additional changes described in this file.

New features

Enhancements

  • Template TrackListMerger and export copies for LHCb::Tracks and LHCb::Track::Selection, !958 (@olupton)

  • Faster PrVeloUT, !859, !913 (@decianm)

    • Get rid of the tool, do everything directly in PrVeloUT
    • Cache look-up table for tolerances locally, instead of accessing the tool for every track. Still need to do the same for the Bdl table.
    • Avoid using a std::vector in the clustering stage, as it just creates unnecessary overhead
    • Introduce a minimum momentum cut of 1500MeV. More detailed checks needed for possible efficiency loss
    • Speed up hit search by precalculating some quantities.
    • Don't split hits in top and bottom anymore, gain was not worth the savings in time.
    • Also contains a (prototype) version of the method that creates the output tracks, as most of the time is spent in the method that writes out the LHCb::Track in keyed containers. In principle only x,y,z,tx,ty,q/p and the LHCbIDs are needed from VeloUT
  • Try to fix FT zone order, !891 (@mhadji)

  • Improvements for faster decoding in PrFTStoreHit. Reduces CPU consumption by ~40%, !882, !897 (@jvantilb) [LHCBSCIFI-109]

  • Adapt to new templated LHCb traj for TVF, !894, !914 (@mhadji)

    Closes #2

  • Removed reference nodes from TrackVectorFitter, !802 (@dcampora)
    Closes #4, #6

  • changes in MuonID after 12/2017 hackathon, !922 (@rvazquez)

  • RICH - Turn off by default unambiguous photon and beam pipe intersection checks in quartic reconstruction., !888 (@jonrob)

  • Reduce secondary mirror iterations to 1 for RICH1 in quartic reconstruction, !886 (@jonrob)

    • Remove some residual aerogel support code.
  • Small update to RICH expected photon signal algorithm, !830 (@jonrob)

    • Remove the Below Threshold type from the hypo list during initialize() rather than skip each time.
    • Bail out the hypo loop as soon as a below threshold type is found.
    • Make the min expected track CK theta angle a configurable radiator property.
    • Drive by cleanup of RichFutureRecBase.
  • Convert RICH CK Estimation photon reconstruction alg to SIMD version., !831 (@jonrob)

  • Use fully SIMD RICH ray tracing API, !795 (@jonrob)

  • Fully SIMD vectorised RICH photon reconstruction, !779, !814, !884 (@jonrob)
