Dedicated directory with all the files needed is given in `DCHdigi/test/test_DCHdigi/` +* It requires that the cellID contain the layer and number of cell within the layer (nphi). It does not matter if the segmentation comes from geometrical segmentation by using twisted tubes and hyperboloids (and the cellID is created out of volume IDs), or the segmentation is virtual DD4hep segmentation +* New digitized hit class is used as an EDM4hep data extension, to be integrated into EDM4hep +* Random number generator uses the seeds calculated on an event basis by the UID service, from the podio header information (run/event number) +* At the moment, only one version: v01
