Richard
|
|
17
|
-------
|
|
18
|
- 10.6 GeV Heep-SINGLES analysis and SIMC comparison
|
|
19
|
- adjusting offsets by hand, trying to determine a consistent SHMS offset for
|
|
20
|
ssdelta
|
|
21
|
|
|
22
|
- *Suggestions*
|
|
23
|
PB: has determined offsets for all of our KaonLT data
|
|
24
|
- shifts delta in both hcana and SIMC, where offsets are stored in a
|
|
25
|
master file
|
|
26
|
- NOTE: finding a good set of offsets is sometimes tricky, as there can
|
|
27
|
be multiple sets that give similar results
|
|
28
|
- it would be good for Richard to compare his eventual offsets with PB's
|
|
29
|
to see if they are different, or not
|
|
30
|
DG: will send a copy of Henk's Heep Check Offsets Program
|
|
31
|
|
|
32
|
- otherwise continuing to deal with UTIL_KAONLT repo issues
|
|
33
|
|
|
34
|
- *Goal for Next Meeting*
|
|
35
|
- a set of 10.6 GeV offsets
|
|
36
|
|
|
37

|
|
39
|
- fixing Heep Singles settings in standard.kinematics
|
|
40
|
- results will be pushed soon, about 2/3 done
|
|
41
|
- some 10.6 GeV angle TV settings were not recorded. Will have to get the
|
|
42
|
photos from raw data
|
|
43
|
|
|
44
|
- *Goal for Next Meeting*
|
|
45
|
- either have all of the physics settings fixed in std.kin OR look at Heep
|
|
46
|
8.2 data/SIMC comparison, depending on how fast things go
|
|
47

|
-----
|
|
50
|
- PionLT low Q2 preliminary data/SIMC comparisons
|
|
51
|
- 2.7 GeV done
|
|
52
|
- 3.6 GeV: one setting done
|
|
53
|
- 4.5 GeV; not yet started
|
|
54
|
|
|
55
|
- still using OLD offsets
|
|
56
|
- only needs to rescale SIMC*0.8, while low Q2 KaonLT needed 7x
|
|
57
|
- comparisons generally look good
|
|
58
|
|
|
59
|
- *Suggestions*
|
|
60
|
PB: xptar, yptar data/SIMC distribution edges look different
|
|
61
|
*it is very important to have data and SIMC edges match*
|
|
62
|
- had a similar problem in his analysis
|
|
63
|
- shms_hut, hms_hut in SIMC has a flat for 3/4 scintillator trigger
|
|
64
|
simulation
|
|
65
|
- seems that the SIMC routine has a tighter scintillator grid than the
|
|
66
|
actual detectors, for example the particles also give a Cherenkov signal
|
|
67
|
in the hodo lightguides that is excluded in SIMC
|
|
68
|
- to get around this problem, he turned off the flag in SIMC to ignore
|
|
69
|
hardware cuts, then applied cuts later in both hcana and SIMC
|
|
70
|
- the cuts that were applied were:
|
|
71
|
- projection to S1, S2, aero, shower (fiducial cuts)
|
|
72
|
- PB will send a copy of the fiducial cuts he used
|
|
73
|
|
|
74
|
DG: does not like this approach
|
|
75
|
- would prefer to fix any problems in SIMC, rather than turn off this flag
|
|
76
|
- we need to be sure that the hodoscope size and positions in SIMC
|
|
77
|
are correct
|
|
78
|
- TH agrees that this is the previous procedure, greatly preferred
|
|
79
|
|
|
80
|
- *Goal for Next meeting*
|
|
81
|
- coplete rest of of PionLT low Q2 settings, then will go back to low Q2 Heep
|
|
82
|
settings, and start to fix problems indentified in the preliminary analysis
|
|
83

|
|
85
|
-----
|
|
86
|
- new SHMS hodo calibrations for Run 12055
|
|
87
|
- major fix: hard cut on paddle constraints adjusted by Dave Mack
|
|
88
|
- new velocity constraints by Carlos Yero
|
|
89
|
- time walk TDC threshold parameter raised 120 -> 1200
|
|
90
|
- p.hodo.beta distribution much improved (plot by CY)
|
|
91
|
- trying to replicate CY's improvement
|
|
92
|
- 2D plot p.gtr.beta:p.gtr.dp
|
|
93
|
- weird blob structure and wiggles gone
|
|
94
|
|
|
95
|
- *Goal for Next meeting*
|
|
96
|
1) fits for all different fall 2021 run settings
|
|
97
|
- already looked at defocused Run 11799
|
|
98
|
2) look at HMS hodo calib to see if any improvements result
|
|
99
|
- HMS previously did not exhibit the same issues as the SHMS hodo calib

Junaid
|
|
102
|
------
|
|
103
|
- just got his JLab account back
|
|
104
|
|
|
105
|
- *Goal for Next meeting*
|
|
106
|
- drift chamber and calorimeter calibrations
|
|
107

Nathan
|
|
109
|
------
|
|
110
|
- no report. working on PionLT run plan and QFT class
|
|

Stephen
|
|
114

|
|
115
|
- no report. will look at online software soon

117
|
Dave G
|
|
118
|
------
|
|
119
|
- reported that no one (MJ, electronics group) is enthusiastic to do the FADC
|
|
120
|
reprgramming, so it will be the same as the last run (i.e. we will not get
|
|
121
|
the conventional data when there is an error, only Mode-10, so it will not be
|
|
122
|
possible to directly compare them)
|
|
123
|
|
|
124
|
- Brad S is switching positions from A/C to Computer Center at end of month
|
|
125
|
- will still be available for questions should we need him
|
|
126
