-DDDigi: The digitization tools of DD4hep
-========================================
-
-DDDigi is supposed to interprete the results of the detector simulation phase
-e.g. using the simulation toolket [DDG4](../DDG4) with its command line interface
-[ddsim](../DDG4/python/DDSim).
-This is the final phase of data processing to obtain data from the simulation
-branch which are as close as possible to the response of the front-end electronics
-of a real experimental setup.
-
-The simulation phase ejects for all subdetectors and the individual
-sensitive elements contained the energy deposits created by particles from a
-primary interaction passing the sensitive volume.
-These data have to processed for taking into accound imperfections of the
-apparatus such as
-
-- uncertainties in cable lengths resulting in shifts of time of signal arriving.
-- uncertainties in the position of sensitive volumes.
-- dead or hot readout channels.
-- conversion of the final signal data into the equivalent of ADC counts.
-- ...
-
-In addition these effects should be computed in the presence of
-
-- multiple interactions in the same beam-crossing
-- spillover signal from previous or following interactions due to the
- relaxation time of the apparatus.
-
-DDDigi addresses these issues in a very modular way and implements a multi-threaded approach
-to perform such data processing.
-To support multi-threading and to avoid any complication for users due to data races
-the following basic assumptions were made:
-
-- The signals from disjunct subdetectors are generally independent
- This means the detector response of any tracking subdetector is uncorrelated with
- the detector response of e.g. a calorimeter.
-- Within a subdetector the response of disjunct units are uncorrelated. This means that
- e.g. hits on one layer of a layered tracking device are uncorrelated
- with the hits produced in another layer.
-- Within one such a layered device the response of individual sensors is tyically uncorrelated.
-
-These assumptions however are not strict, but rather require input from the designer of such
-a digitization application for a given appratus. These basic assumption only show the maximal
-level of parallelization possible when processing data signals.
-The parallelization can be configured for each subdetector at each level according to
-boundary conditions e.g. given by cross-talk or the data volume arising from the
-energy deposits of the simulation.
