Stephen
17
-------
18
- meeting with Casey re. ifarm job system (swif)
19
  - trying to merge his work with hcswif
20
  - Stephen's scripts dynamically allocate disk space & memory, while hcswif
21
    has these hard coded
22
  - hcswif allows for run# ranges, as opposed to specifying each one
23
    individually
24

    
25
- updates to hcana
26
  - looking into putting singles trigger assignments into a PARAM file instead
27
    of hard coded
28
    - will be called HMS, SHMS instead of TRIG1, TRIG3, etc
29
  - adding raw untracked COINTIME variable, for untracked analysis
30
  - Mode-10 stuff is already included
31

    
32
- cleaned up UTIL_BATCH
33
  - divided into different run periods
34

    
35
Ali
36
---
37
- Analysis Plan
38
  - divided up Heep-COIN and Heep-SINGLES runs with Richard
39
  - fine tune efficiencies and offsets
40
  - discussed things with Peter Bosted, to gain from his experience
41
    - PB pion PID cuts -> aero npe > 4.0, aerogel eff ~96% for both indices of
42
      refraction
43
    - PB noticed some SIMC bugs in implementation of detector sizes and 3/4
44
      trigger
45
      - he turns off the detector-ALL flag to avoid the bug
46

    
47
- *Suggestions*
48
  - Gaskell: we should fix the routine instead of turning off the flag!
49
    - in addition, DG is a bit puzzled that PB found sensitivity to this issue,
50
      as other SIDIS analyses haven't been sensitive to it
51

    
52
  - PB has an HMS x-tar data offset of 2.7mm (vertical position of beam on
53
    target) but doesn't have any offset in SIMC
54

    
55
- *Suggestions*
56
  - Gaskell: by default hcana uses BPM information to calculate focal plane
57
    quantities (e.g. delta).  If BPM wrong, then delta wrong a bit too.
58
    - DG is puzzled that it's only for HMS and not SHMS
59
    - we don't necessarily have to follow PB's path, but we should learn from
60
      him and decide our own solutions
61

    
62
- *Task for AU*
63
  - Ali should ask PB for an example SIMC input file
64
