add support for the new geometry format
The current code integrates a new geometry format support for the TRD system.
Context
-
Following the approval of the TDR Addendum for the TRD the inner part of the TRD wall will be operated with TRD2D detectors. - A new geometry (construction/usage) concept for the TRD geometry was proposed:
- According to the verbal understanding from https://indico.gsi.de/event/18650/ the following strategy was assumed
- The geometry will be accepted without [running/standard] Creation macro
- The code has to work with TRD implementation as is provided in the binary file from geometry (trd_v23b_1[e,h,m].geo.root)
- The implementation details from !1382 (merged) will be left for after the Release in order to not destabilize the system
- Deadline for this MR is next Release of 2023 (be it OCT23 or other name)
- The current MR describe only the code. In order to use the TRD2D the following actions have still to be performed:
-
Accept MR CbmSoft/cbmroot_geometry!224 (merged) (done by Eoin) -
Accept MR CbmSoft/cbmroot_parameter!147 (merged) (done by Eoin) -
Update the following files (geometry/setup/setup_sis100_electron.C, external/InstallGeometry.cmake, external/InstallParameter.cmake) (Built upon and test passed in !1552 (closed) )
