    new library SL06b has been created, tagged with tag SL06b on May 1, build, tested and released on May 5.

  • October 28, 2004,
    library SL04k has been created on .sl302_gcc323 and .rh80_gcc32 platforms, tested and released November 3.

    Main features of the library:
    - StEmcADCtoEMaker code has been completely reshaped, the new improvements are:

    • Code is much smaller and easier to read

    • It now reads DAQ files, StEvent and MuDstFiles

    • No need for StMuDst2StEventMaker (but this still works)

    • StEmcCollection that is created is plugged into muDST so the user can read the emcCollection directly from muDST (use the method StMuDst::emcCollection())

    • Crate status are properly filled in StEvent and StMuDst

    • Maker does not decide if event is corrupted or not, it just zeroes the corrupted crates. It is up to the user to check the crateStatus in StEvent (StMuDst) and make a decision

    • StEmcADCtoEMaker now depends on StEmcRawMaker

    - new maker StEmcRawMaker has been created to replace former StEmcADCtoEMaker in production. It reads only DAQ structures and write output in StEvent
    - StMuDSTMaker has been reshaped. The main functional changes concern the Emc and Pmd data structures.

    • for EMC flags were added to signal corruption of crate headers

    • points and clusters are no longer copied from StEvent, because they are recalculated during analysis anyway

    • for Pmd the possibility to store hits (single-channel information) was added

    • some changes to the internal logic has been made which will allow to read some Emc (and Pmd) branches more selectively

    • fixed the problem with StMuIOMaker (there was no emc collection)

    - Significant improvement for ITTF code has been made related to ratio of good/bad global tracks

    • Sti: StiKalmanTrack.cxx/h, StiKalmanTrackFinder.cxx/h, StiKalmanTrackFitter.cxx, StiKalmanTrackNode.cxx/h, StiTrackFinderFilter.cxx/h, StiLocalTrackMerger.cxx, StiPlacement.cxx - various changes to improve track quality

    • Star/StiStarDetectorBuilder.cxx - modified to make pipe longer

    • StiMaker: StiStEventFiller.cxx/h - changes related to track quality improvement

    Other changes in the codes not related to the above modifications:
    - StBFChain
    StBFChain.cxx - changed emcDY2 to a new meaning (runs StEmcRawMaker instead of StEmcADCtoEMaker), added emcAtoE option to run StEmcADCtoEMaker
    - StDbUtilities

    StHelixD.cc/hh, StThreeVectorD.cc/hh, StThreeVectorF.cc/hh - improved, check for x,y=0 added
    - StarRoot
    THelixTrack.cxx/h - bug fixed

    - pams/geometry
    geometry/geometry.g - moved filling of GDAT to the end of code, in this case main Zebra bank is properly populated
    Y2004B geometry changed to activate the sisdgeo1
    Y2005X geometry is created which is same as Y2004B but with the full barrel calorimeter
    sisdgeo/sisdgeo1.g - improved structure of the code by replacing hardcoded numbers with variables which encapsulate formulas
    radius of the mother volume has been changed to conform with the shield of the SVT
