I agree with some need for clarification, but I think we have to be careful here. There are several details that might matter. It's not just an "EDM4hep level" convention. It's rather deeply ingrained into DD4hep / DDG4 and as such the grouping of It also depends a bit on what is defined as infinite granularity. Most sensitive actions turn each Geant4 step into a It's not entirely clear to me how detailed we want to get here, as (at least) some of these things are probably too technical / detailed for the "general public". |
The fact that
SimCalorimeterHitsare already 'ganged' into cells and that individual hits have to be accessed throughCaloHitContributionsis creating a lot of confusion for newcomers. Given that e.g.SimCalorimeterHitshas no time member, we can see this an EDM4hep level convention (as opposed to just howddsimchooses to use EDM4hep). I therefore propose to clearly state that here.BEGINRELEASENOTES
