1) Analysis Task List
|
|
18
|
- shows updated high Q2 timeline posted at
|
|
19
|
https://redmine.jlab.org/projects/kltexp/wiki/Analysis_Tasks
|
|
20
|
- generally looks good
|
|
21
|
- need to break-down more division of tasks with Ali
|
|
22
|
- also suggest to coordinate low Q2 task list schedule with Vijay
|
|
23
|
- update the RedMine list with both of these
|
|
24
|
|
|

2) EDTM studies
|
|
26
|
- plans to do more studies this weekend

1) Low Q2 Heep-Singles Study
|
|
31
|
- unlike the Heep-Coin study, which has reasonable (early) agreement between
|
|
32
|
data and SIMC, the Heep-Singles yields disagree substantially between data
|
|
33
|
and SIMC
|
|
34
|
- Suggestions:
|
|
35
|
- Remove H_hodo_goodscinhit cut
|
|
36
|
- Increase p_arm generation limits by 2-3x
|
|
37
|
- add ytar, xtar plots, so we can see them too
|
|
38
|
- set beer_can target=1 instead of tuna_can target=2 in SIMC. In the longer
|
|
39
|
term, we will need to modify SIMC code for the actual target geometry used
|
|
40
|
in KaonLT/PionLT
|
|
41
|
- it looks like there is a hole in the SHMS focal plane. Since an HGC cut is
|
|
42
|
used, this is likely caused by the inefficient region in the center of the
|
|
43
|
detector. For yield studies, it is better to just remove the HGC cut since
|
|
44
|
Heep-electrons should be fairly clean. However, for validation of the
|
|
45
|
physics analysis (which will require the cut), we should do a second
|
|
46
|
Heep-singles analysis with the cut included in both data and SIMC, so we
|
|
47
|
can compare their effects.
|
|
48
|
- Dave notices that the target thickness is wrong in the SIMC input file, 4cm
|
|
49
|
instead of 10cm. Undoubtedly this will make a big difference.

|
53
|
1) Analyzing the new Mode-10 variables in PionLT data
|
|
54
|
- Nathan summarizes the new Mode-10 variables that Mark Jones has implemented
|
|
55
|
in hcana (see slides).
|
|
56
|
- Mark's intention is to re-create in software from the waveform data, the
|
|
57
|
equivalent variables that are output by the FADC, so their differences can be
|
|
58
|
studied and understood. There are a lot of new variables to study and
|
|
59
|
understand. Mark has done a cursory check, and wants Nathan to look at them
|
|
60
|
in more detail, and look for problems.
|
|
61
|
- Still having some difficulties getting the new hcana to compile.
|
|
62
|
|
|
63
|
2) SIDIS Lumi Study
|
|
64
|
- yield study looks encouraging.
|
|
65
|
- HMS singles: Scaler rate dep <2.5%. Untracked rate dep < 2.0%.
|
|
66
|
Tracked: linear rate dep that needs to be understood.
|
|
67
|
- SHMS singles: Scaler rate dep <5.0%. Untracked <8.0%.
|
|
68
|
Tracked: same linear rate dependence as HMS.
|
|
69
|
- COIN: since randoms dominate, expect a linear rate dep, which is observed
|
|
70
|
for scaler analysis. But untracked and tracked analyses see a linear drop
|
|
71
|
with rate (instead of increase) which needs to be understood.
|
|
72
|
- Nathan has implemented an untracked COIN variable for use in the untracked
|
|
73
|
COIN analysis.
|
|
74
|
- need to loosen PID cuts to avoid rate dependence, as the cuts might be a
|
|
75
|
bit tight.

1) EDTM Analysis Summary
|
|
80
|
- shows two T.coin.pEDTM_tdcTimeRaw timing plots that are particularly interesting.
|
|
81
|
- overlapping distns of EDMTs coming at different times when using PS2,4
|
|
82
|
- when using PS1,3 they are separated, so it's easier to tell what's going on
|
|
83
|
** For future Lumi studies, we should probably use PS1,3 so they are separated,
|
|
84
|
as this allows an independent check of the PS factor operation
|
|
85
|
- still has TLT>100%
|
|
86
|
- equation on slide 2 doesn't take into account the physics triggers which
|
|
87
|
adjust the number of EDTM events prescaled away.
|
|
88
|
- needs to think more on modifying the equation for added physics triggers
|
|
89
|
and see if this improves the TLT values
