Design and Qualification Tools

This Work Package is focused on exploring and testing new tools to improve how the particle physics community designs and builds detectors. Some of these tools go beyond the design phase and could impact other stages of a detector lifecycle (e.g. installation, repairs, decommissioning). Initially, five activities were identified: open-source software for high-performance computing, machine learning-driven topology optimization, virtual reality-aided design, 3D modelling of complex geometries, and linking CAD tools with GEANT. These have now been streamlined into two main programs, namely:

(i) Extended Reality (XR) development and

(ii) connecting engineering design tools with physics simulation software.

The XR program has a broad scope, with the potential to be used throughout the detector lifecycle. The focus on connecting engineering tools with physics simulations aims to enhance data-sharing between designers and physicists by producing simplified models, which can also be used in XR applications, another key focus of this work package.
