Subject: Re: Muon digit container design From: Steven Goldfarb Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2001 13:00:36 +0200 To: David Adams CC: Atlas muon reconstruction mailing list , atlas reconstruction mailing list David, I certainly think the new scheme should implement the identifiers described in the document. We are all in agreement that we need to change to that scheme. The implementation of the new model is a good opportunity to make the change. Regarding the granularity, the reconstruction group probably has a better idea than I. Jean-Francois, Giorgos, comments? I suggest we begin with an intrerface similar to the others. If it turns out to be possible, we can think of going to an abstract interface for all. I advocate developing them independently at first, though.
