Package : Rich/RichMirrAlign
Package Coordinators : Paras Naik, Anatoly Solomin
Purpose : RICH mirror alignment program
2016-05-22 - Anatoly Solomin
- Incremented version to v19r1.
- As Paras suggested, the "magnification" in the regularization
term can now be switched off. Introduced regularizationMode
option: 0(def)->use "magnified" with average magn factors
regularization terms; !=0-> all "magnifications" = 1.
2016-04-25 - Anatoly Solomin
- Incremented version to v19r0.
- In LS method the regularizing sum is now squares of "magnified"
solution. Each component of the solution vector is multiplied by
the respective magnification factor, averaged over all mirror
combinations and calibrational tilts.
- Introduced option nominalResolutionSigma: RICH-dependent nominal
Cherenkov angle distribution sigma; no default here.
- Introduced option stopSigmaFraction (default 0.5): tolerance
for total tilt of mirror pair in terms of fraction of the
nominal sigma.
- Introduced option printMode: results print style mode
0 - Paras one-glance style
1 - Anatoly detailed style
2 - both: first Anatoly, then Paras
-2.17 will be printed as: 1-> -2.1, 0-> -2, while
-0.97 will be printed as: 1-> -.9, 0-> 0
- Introduced four (instead of two) RICH-dependent stop tolerances:
stopTolerancePriY
stopTolerancePriZ
stopToleranceSecY
stopToleranceSecZ
- Introduced option stopToleranceMode: 0(default)->calculate them
from nominal sigma, average magn factors and stopSigmaFraction, e.g.
stopTolerancePriY = 0.5*nominalResolutionSigma*stopSigmaFraction/
(averaged magnification factor priY_Y)
1->use those set up by hand in the conf file.
- Respective changes in the conf files. Examples in <...>/files.
- Eliminated default values for RICH-dependent options.
- Fixed and improved the printouts.
- Fixed previous entries of these release notes. This text is "pre",
and therefore it should be decently formatted by hand in the
editor: Ctrl+j. Otherwise it looks ugly in the browser.
Also convention is to summarize only per Panoptes release, not per
version increment of a package.
2016-04-09 - Paras Naik
- Added the ability to use separate stopTolerances for primary
and secondary mirrors, If stopToleranceSec = 0, then all
mirrors use stopTolerance to determine the threshold for
alignment in this case, the printouts show the updated
compensations in mrad, as used to be the case Otherwise the
threshold for primary mirrors is stopTolerance and the
threshold for secondary mirrors is stopToleranceSec in this new
case, the printouts now show the updated compensations divided
by the tolerance.
2016-03-29 - Paras Naik
- Incremented version to v18r5
- Remove thisVariant+"_" from the name of the predefined
magnification factors text files if the string "online" is a
substring of thisVariant
2016-03-21 - Paras Naik
- Incremented version to v18r4p0.
- Updated CMakeLists.txt
2016-03-09 - Anatoly Solomin
- Incremented version to v18r4.
- More simple way of reading the list of combinations from
m_combAndMirrSubsetsFile.
- In parameter names in config file replaced subsets file name with
combAndMirrSubsets
- combAndMirrSubsets file got new, more convenient format. Pattern
is in Panoptes_XXXXX/Rich/RichMirrCombinFit/files
- Added "files" folder with *.conf files and
RichMirrAlignREADME.txt with example how to run (cmt fashion).
Updated cmt/requirements accordingly.
- Code style now complies to CERN's rules: indentations, TypeA* typea;
++i in loops, etc. Please, please, do not use your personal code
styles: this is core LHCb software, not our private at all.
- Test folder removed for now: needs updating.
- HPD part still needs to be investigated.
2015-06-14 - Paras Naik
- Added a new setting 'stopTolerance' that can be provided by conf
file. If the updated compensations to mirror tilts are all less
than stopTolerance, then the alignment will stop successfully.
2015-03-30 - Anatoly Solomin
- Changed back printout to provide one digit after the decimal
point; Paras agreed. The numbers in the summary tables are
now printed truncated, not rounded: -.095... is ".0" now. RICH
number is printed with every mirror type title.
2015-03-28 - Paras Naik
- Changed printout to provide two digits after the decimal point.
2015-03-05 - Anatoly Solomin
- Added missing files with magnification factors to
the Test directory.
2015-03-03 - Anatoly Solomin
- Incremented version to v18r1.
- Entire mirror system of a RICH is now aligned as a whole in
one go, not side-by-side anymore.
- The algebraic method with fixed mirrors can still be chosen,
although also in the "overall" mode.
- Files, necessary for testing in stand-alone mode are
added in the Test directory. A small README instruction
of how to build and then run the test is also included.
- Made consistent naming of the files used by the
RichHPDAlign.cpp as well as some internal calls there.
2015-03-03 - Anatoly Solomin
- Incremented version to v17r1.
- The program is massively rewritten.
- Least-squares solution of the under-determined system of
equations for rotational misalignments of the mirrors is now
regularized by adding squared norm of the solution to the sum
of squared residuals.
- The algebraic method can still be chosen.
- The printouts are principally more informative and graspable,
while their code is way shorter and easier to understand.
- The code now is based on minimal number of maps, not vectors,
it is shorter, more readable.
- More explanations added.
- The printout became a separate function.
- File-naming conventions are more consistent.
- The "Coombs" method of pre-averaging corrections for RICH1
primary mirrors at the zeroth iteration is excluded.

2011-06-08 - Anatoly Solomin
- Incremented version to v15r1.
- Streamlined job, file, etc. naming conventions for better
usability. Modified programmatic name formation accordingly
- Improved code readability.
- Because the numerical part of the
Rich/RichMirrorAlignmentGanga migrated from Job
application GaudiPython to Executable (thus re-enabling
the framework to run with the checked out local versions
of the numeric packages RichMirrCombinFit and
RichMirrAlign), the wrappers:
Rich1MirrAlignWrapper.py and
Rich2MirrAlignWrapper.py
are totally rewritten.
2011-05-20 - Anatoly Solomin
- Incremented version to v14r5.
- Corrected these release notes: fixed the header of the
previous release, to address the fact that in PANOPTES
v3r0, v3r1 and v3r2 these packages were temporarily
excluded, because xqilla was not yet available in the
officially released LHCb environment.
- Erased from the code all previously commented out remnants
of XercesC 2.8 and hence all non-XQilla code.
- Some formatting trims.

- Completely new approach: the system of equations is not
over-determined any more. An optimized subset of mirror
pairs selected for that.
- The system is being solved by a combination of substitution
method (pair-by-pair level) and Cramer's rule (Y/Z level).
- Method of solving the system using Minuit is retained as
an alternative option.
- Fixed mirrors are denoted in the steering list by
brackets and handled properly automatically.
- Further cosmetic improvements of printout.

it within a Ganga script the following way:
app = GaudiPython( project ='Panoptes', ...)
