-  * Improve the converter "promc2lcio". This Java code converts truth-level Monte Carlo events to the LCIO format for the full simulation. The promc2lcio code is included inside the [[https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/promc/|ProMC package]]. Look at the directory "examples/promc2lcio". This code works for Pythia6, Herwig6, Madgraph5, but it fails on promc files created from Pythia8. Take any ProMC file from HepSim create by Pythia8 and see the error. +Here are several open tasks:
-  * The FCC-hh detector has about 300 overlaps of the inner tracker (support structures are shifted, overlaps with the beam pipe). The task is to correct compact.xml file into  GDML file,  and check for overlaps using the existing tools included into ROOT. +
-  * Each detector should be viewed using online event browser based on WebGL or other methods. Please look at the CMS detector example in [[http://ispy-webgl.web.cern.ch/ispy-webgl/| ispy-webgl]].  +
-  * Improvements for the graphics of [[https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/jas4pp/|Jas4pp]] used to visualize the events. Currently, HCAL cell sizes are shown as small dots which do not reflect the actual size of calorimeter cells. +
