Simulation Requirements - Background
105 bb inclusive events in detector every second
~100 Hz are recorded in real data
If need as many to be simulated then need to generate, track, digitise and trigger 1012 bb inclusive events/yr and 109 will have to be reconstructed
- corresponds to 3. 1014 SI95 sec/yr i.e.10,000,000 SI95
Obviously need to study ways of optimising background simulation
- store and reuse data produced at generator level (storage!)
- optimise generation step without biasing physics
- focus on background particularly dangerous for a specific physics channel
- aim to reduce requirements by > 1 order of magnitude
Assume 400,000 SI95 required
