-------
|
|
9
|
- Python script to grab info from report file
|
|
10
|
- Some temporary parts for now
|
|
11
|
- Aim is to have multiple scripts called by one main script (which then runs
|
|
12
|
all of the others that are needed)
|
|
13
|
- GH - Q on version management
|
|
14
|
- RT/SK - *Should* be handled by GitHub w/o issue, so long as it is
|
|
15
|
committed frequently
|
|
16
|
- Each script will create a dictionary, they will be combined to a dataframe
|
|
17
|
which is saved to a .csv file
|
|
18
|
- GH Q - What is needed still?
|
|
19
|
- RT A - Some info still missing, CPULT, time of run etc
|
|
20
|
- No efficiency erros on the hodoscopes
|
|
21
|
- CT blocking efficiencies
|
|
22
|
- Run length, beam on time with current cuts applied
|
|
23
|
- Concern on run length (after current cut) determination
|
|
24
|
- Hard wired 5uA cut?
|
|
25
|
- Needs to be more flexible
|
|
26
|
- To do so, would probably need to be in a script
|
|
27
|
- Did we ever even get below 5uA for KaonLT/PionLT2019?
|
|
28
|
- Set it to 2.5uA as a threshold?
|
|
29
|
- Should work for all physics settings
|
|
30
|
- HeePCoin efficiencies, need HMS and SHMS still *if* we use these
|

34
|
- Discussion on TrackEff for Singles and Coin events. The discussion turned
|
|
35
|
out to be extremely useful, as we discovered some misunderstandings on what
|
|
36
|
was being done.
|
|
37
|
- Analysis currently removes any non-coincidence events almost immediately,
|
|
38
|
so all effs are calculated only from Coin events
|
|
39
|
- The issue is that the detector efficiencies are presumably driven by the
|
|
40
|
raw particle flux incident on the detector, and this corresponds most
|
|
41
|
closely to the Singles event distribution. Coins have a hardware
|
|
42
|
requirement of a coincidence with the other spectrometer, so even if no
|
|
43
|
further cuts are applied on the "other spectrometer" the distribution of
|
|
44
|
hits across the detector will reflect this, and likely will be different
|
|
45
|
than the "raw flux"
|
|
46
|
- In addition, the statistical error in the efficiency is likely to be
|
|
47
|
smaller from the Singles events than from the Coins (at least this was the
|
|
48
|
case in Fpi-2)
|
|
49
|
- *Need specific "coin and single" efficiencies for any strongly rate
|
|
50
|
dependent efficiency, so that differences between them can be checked and
|
|
51
|
understood*
|
|
52
|
- Need to modify cuts file used in online data
|
|
53
|
- Compute both ways (from Singles events and from Coin events) for
|
|
54
|
- Gas cherenkovs
|
|
55
|
- DC
|
|
56
|
- Tracking
|
|
57
|
- CPULT
|
|
58
|
- Also need to propagate these changes into the offline KaonLT scripts
|
|
59
|
- Good idea to *Date tag and version the .csv file created by the script*
|
|
60
|
i.e. not the date the .csv file was created, but the date-version of the
|
|
61
|
script used to create it
|
|
62
|
|
|
63
|
- GH: What do we need for this in the next week to 10 days to try to get
|
|
64
|
normalised yields?
|
|
65
|
- AU - Mark asked for a document on Hodo Effs calculation
|
|
66
|
- need to trace through hcana on variables to be used
|
|
67
|
- AU - Need exact cuts for other aerogel trays for different indices of
|
|
68
|
refraction
|
|
69
|
- Need them from a quick analyis, *not* the positions as recorded on the
|
|
70
|
flat tray
|
|
71
|
- Will need cuts, in principle, per tray installation, as the aerogel can
|
|
72
|
shift in the tray during craning operations
|
|
73
|
- RT will get these numbers to Ali
