Richard Updates
17
---------------
18
- PyRoot-based L/T-separation package
19
   - Got the information he needed from Bill's files via Garth's back-up
20
   - Changed formatting to fit our efficiency list style a little more
21
   - LTSep python package changes
22
      - Ver 3.3.0 is latest version
23
      - Branches kept are included in runtype
24
         - Branch definitions
25
         - Grabs required branches
26
         - Code runs slightly faster
27
         - New version is backwards compatible
28
            - Should be able to merge in straightforwardly
29

    
30
- Comparison of W distributions between MC and Data for 10.6 GeV HeepCoin
31
   - Data always lower than MC
32
   - changing up to 4 offsets
33
   - W should not move in MC, since it knows it's elastic scattering!
34
   - Replay didn't shift W with offsets
35
      - That's very odd, doesn't seem to be changing in hcana
36
      - clearly there is a bug that Richard will need to track
37

    
38
- Richard 2nd updates
39
   - One issue is that Richard is applying the offsets to std.kin, instead of
40
     the offsets file.  *This is dangerous*, and was discussed in the
41
     22-May-17 meeting, as it can lead to errors and inconsistences.
42
     *Much better to use offsets file*
43
      - Vijay's replay shifts as expeccted, using the offests file.
44
        Ask that Vijay and Richard discuss this offline
45

Vijay Updates
47
-------------
48
- Comparison of various quantities between Heep coin data/MC for 5 energies
49
   - No offsets applied
50
   - Sees larger shifts in EM, PMx,y,z between Data and MC at 2.7, 4.5, 4.9
51
     GeV, and smaller shifts at 3.6, 3.9 GeV
52
   - Consistency between similar beam energies between different run periods
53
      - The good news is that 3.6, 3.9 GeV behave similarly, even though taken
54
        roughly 6 months apart.  i.e. the behavior is reproducible.
55

    
56
- *Tanja's quick back of the envelope offsets calculation*
57
   - For 3.6, 3.9 GeV, momentum offset in electron arm would account for
58
     offsets
59
   - Larger offsets in other 3 settings, angle offset (~1 mrad) in addition to
60
     small momentum offset
61
     
62
   - EMiss offset -> Need a momentum offset in SHMS (hadron arm): ~0.3% at
63
        2.7/4.5/4.9GeV
64
   - All settings - 0.1% momentum offset in HMS (electron arm)
65
   - 2.7/4.5/4.9 - 1 mrad electron angle offset -> 1 mrad = 0.0573 degrees
66

    
67
   - a possible reason why the offsets appear to differ at 3.6,3.9 GeV is that
68
     the sensitivity to the needed offset depends on the acceptance matching
69
     between the two spectrometers for that setting
70
      - i.e. does the electron arm (HMS) define the cone of proton coincidences
71
        within the proton arm (SHMS), or the other way around, or are they
72
        matched?
73
      - some settings are better matched kinematically than others.  Best
74
       matching occurs when the two spectrometers are near equal angles and momenta.
75

Ali Updates
77
-----------
78
- Brief analysis for increasing range of SHMS delta after discussions with Peter B
79
   - Aerogel > 1.5 NPE cut, would need to alter if we increase delta
80
      - n = 1.011 aerogel tray does not cover full focal plane and may be
81
	   restricting our negative delta acceptance	 
82
   - Dave/Stephen point out that the bigger difference will really be on
83
	adjusting the HMS delta too 
84
      - SHMS and HMS delta correlated, with negative SHMS delta in
85
	coincidence with positive HMS delta for exclusive pi+/K+ events
86
      - Our online analysis indicates that we would only gain a few percent of
87
        exclusive events
88
         - HMS delta should NOT be expanded much
89
         - Stephen - Older settings should be re-analysed - Delta vs Delta
90
	   plots not there previously
91
   - GH discusses with PB afterward.  He agrees that this is the case for
92
     exclusive events, but he is interested in expanding the delta range for
93
     SIDIS events in our data sample.  So this does not sound like it should
94
     be a high priority for us.
95

    
96
- CPULT > 100%
97
   - as shown at last meeting, CPULT are OK for COIN replay, but some SHMS
98
     CPULT are still over 100%
99
   - Changes to report file template
100
      - Updated error calculation does not resolve problem
101
   - For EDTM, should be using time RAW not time
102
   - CPULT should use time (not RAW)
103
   - will discuss more about this with Jacob tomorrow
104

    
105
- When is the aerogel tray changed?
106
   - Peter B did not use the run list to determine what aerogel tray is used,
107
     but instead looked at the x-y histogram, and placed limits on the edge of
108
     the efficient region
109
   - he finds some sets of run numbers where he thinks n=1.011 tray is used
110
     that differs from Richard's list
111

    
112
   - the run plan and logbook are unambiguous on when the aerogel was changed.
113
     *Ali should independently go through the logbook* to note when aerogel was
114
      changed, and see who is right
115

    
116
- Trying to make EM, PMx,y,z calculations the same between hcana and SIMC
117
   - had meeting with DG to understand what variables to look at in SIMC code
118
   - Hopefully able to compare to hcana variables shortly
119
   
120
   - Dave - PMx/PMy/PMz variables in SIMC are just components in the lab frame
121
      - In Heep case, PM is translated relative to the q-vector
122
      - PMz/PMy, only calculates in-plane components (i.e. those in the
123
        central plane of the two spectrometers), ignores out of plane
124
        components (i.e. the fact that the q-vector is tilted vertically) 
125
      - Thus, the SIMC versions are not really the missing momentum.
126
        99% sure this this not the way it's done in hcana
127
      - Now that the inconsistency is identified, we need to fix it
128
      - Add new variables to hcana?
129
         - Or add them to SIMC?
130
            - Dave - Probably easier to change SIMC
131
         - New variable that is equivalent to SIMC variable in hcana should be
132
           easy too 
133
   - Two pronged approach makes sense
134
      - Tanja suggests to Calculate first by hand and compare
135
      - Then decide which one to update
136
   - Dave will look into modifying SIMC
137
   - *Ali will work on this as a priority*
138

    
139
- Singles scripts (Heep-singles and Lumi) are ready.  Can replay after calibs done
140

    
141
Jacob Updates
142
-------------
143
- In preparation for cutting settings from run plan (i.e. needing to save time
144
  due to slow beam start), looking at how many delta scans needed, using
145
  KaonLT 2018 data (10.6GeV) with HMS p=6.6 GeV/c
146
   - W vs xfp, W vs xpfp and W vs delta comparisons
147
   - after optics calibrations are done, the agreement between data and SIMC is
148
     good.  Then does predictions for 2022 10.5 GeV delta scan
149
  
150
   - 3 point scan should be ok: 0 and +/-8%
151
      - More stats in -xfp and -delta would be useful -> More in -8% run
152
      - Keep overall time the same, shift time from +/4% to +/-8% -> -8% needs
153
        ~2x time alloted (roughtly 60% more than 0 setting)
154
	
155
   - Can cut some settings
156

    
157
Junaid updates
158
--------------
159
- not present.  He has adjusted the Heep singles settings in the run plan and
160
  distributed a new spreadsheet
161

    
162
Nathan Updates
163
--------------
164
- Prepping for Gordon conference
165
- Plots for HGC calibration
166
   - good fits for PMTs 1,2,4.  PMT3 fits having a hard time
167
      - width for 2nd PE peak is far too broad
168
      - PMT3 gain is a bit different, peaks closer together
169
      - constrain range the width is allowed to vary in for 2nd PE fit?
170
      - can try a manual fit to see if it works better
171
