34 Fast simulation ATLFAST Long experience in ATLAS using parametric simulation - extremely fast - no efficiencies/fakes - no pile-up effects - however, often requested by theorists/externals, generic applications on the market (e.g. Delphes) Is parametric smearing something we (as a community) want to provide? ATLAS prefers to publish unfolded fiducial measurements to a parameteric public simulation. 27

45 The nutshell ISF design & prototype encapsulation of common services defined by interfaces - event handling, stack handling, truth filling, hit recording, barcode creation aim to feed central hit collection from ISF flavors - to allow for common pile-up digitization FastCaloSim & FATRAS have been imported to the prototype - first simulation tests running - we want to gather experience how to mix simulation flavors Geant4 interfacing on the way - Geant4 can/will still keep an internal particle stack - learn how to feed a future parallel simulation flavor 1st Z -> ee event with FastCaloSim in ISF 37

46 ISF benefits mix and play A common hit service in the ISF - AFII creates already SimHit objects similar to Geant4 hits plan to update FATRAS in Inner Detector - implemented parameterized material effects ISF: use Geant4 - did not deploy ATLAS digitization model ISF: create hits like Geant4 track SimHit Layer 1 Layer 0 SimHit Geant4 interaction ISimHitSvc 38

47 ISF benefits extend easily new parameterisation of hadronic leakage into the Muon System 39

48 ATLAS fast simulaton today & tomorrow ATLAS has extremely profited from Geant4 simulation - close collaboration with Geant4 community is extremely profitable ATLAS has a long-standing experience with fast simulation - starting from ATLFAST in TDR times - first AFII used in public results for summer conferences bulk production of AFII samples in new MC11 campaign Currently fast/full simulation require different setups Huge effort started to develop an integrated simulation framework - steer all simulation flavors from one single framework - vision: mix fast and full MC techniques in one single event - feedback this experience into simulation R&D for the future (long-term) 40
