Richard Trotta Updates
|
|
16
|
----------------------
|
|
17
|
- Roughly on track time wise with analysis tasks
|
|
18
|
|
|
19
|
- HeeP Cuts
|
|
20
|
- Aerogel position cuts now included
|
|
21
|
- Included offsets Vijay sent for Hall C replay
|
|
22
|
- Need to 0 offsets in the file before studies, as offsets inherited from
|
|
23
|
some older analyses are included in the files
|
|
24
|
- 10.6GeV Offsets seem broadly similar to Vijay's
|
|
25
|
- dThetaHMS ~1.5 mrad, dp_HMS -0.1%
|
|
26
|
- dThetaSHMS 0 mrad, dp_SHMS 0.0%
|
|
27
|
- showed a W plot. Vijay: need to look in particular at the PM
|
|
28
|
components. Richard: will show these at next meeting
|
|
29
|
- Data/MC for HeeP singles is huge (~15x) in some cases
|
|
30
|
- HMS xfp
|
|
31
|
- SHMS xfp
|
|
32
|
- Seems like a normalisation issue somewhere
|
|
33
|
- Prescale factor issue on data, almost certainly the cause
|
|
34
|
- will discuss this offline w/Ali, Vijay
|
|
35
|
|
|
36
|
- Lumi scans
|
|
37
|
- current cut issue for low current runs, need to adjust current cuts for
|
|
38
|
these
|
|
39
|
- Statistical error bars only
|
|
40
|
- If ignoring the low current run with bad cut, HMS scans are flat at ~2%
|
|
41
|
level, but lots of non-statistical issues (large fluctuations) clearly
|
|
42
|
evident
|
|
43
|
- SHMS is not good, sees large rate trend, with huge (>25%) carbon
|
|
44
|
boiling
|
|
45
|
- PID/Current cuts and trigger windows can all affect slope quite
|
|
46
|
dramatically, nearly resolved
|
|
47
|
- PID cuts need updating
|
|
48
|
- Nathan: Peter Bosted says to use lower bound cuts, not boxes,
|
|
49
|
as the upper bound cut introduces a rate dependence, due to
|
|
50
|
extra hits encountered at high rate
|
|
51
|
|
|
52
|
- Hodoscope calibrations
|
|
53
|
- All look good except for 6.2 GeV
|
|
54
|
- Autumn/Winter 18 and Spring 19
|
|
55
|
- Summer 2019 needs checking by *Vijay*
|
|
56
|
- May want to check threshold Dave Mack adjusted (see his log post)
|
|
57
|
|
|
58
|
- Continuing to look at Bill's L/T-separation code
|
|
59
|
- Lots of hard-coded information to adjust
|
|
60
|
|
|
61
|
Ali update via Richard (Ali is at eye doctor)
|
|
62
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
63
|
- Still looking at missing energy and momentum equations
|
|
64
|
- Comparing SIMC and hcana
|
|
65
|
- HGC efficiency calculation for pi+
|
|
66
|
|
|
67
|
- Aerogel efficiencies?
|
|
68
|
- Ali has tray dimensions
|
|
69
|
- Different calculations for each
|
|
70
|
- Vijay/Ali/Richard meeting 11am (EDT) Saturday to discuss further
|
|
71
|
|
|
72
|
Vijay Kumar Update
|
|
73
|
------------------
|
|
74
|
- Low Q2 Heep studies update
|
|
75
|
- Matrix of offsets applied
|
|
76
|
- Show effect of shifts before and after at 2.7, 3.6, 3.8, 4.5, 4.9 GeV
|
|
77
|
- Offsets seem to be roughly consistent with what Jochen and Tanja had in
|
|
78
|
their theses
|
|
79
|
- Please make *plots* of offset vs theta/spectrometer momentum
|
|
80
|
- Tables compared to beam energies
|
|
81
|
- Should also *compare Heep singles with these offsets* for consistency
|
|
82
|
|
|
83
|
Jacob Murphy Update
|
|
84
|
-------------------
|
|
85
|
- Diamond cuts script to automate the low epsilon diamond cut equations
|
|
86
|
- In a good working state
|
|
87
|
- Fits a line to each side of the "diamond"
|
|
88
|
- fitting method looks at first and last filled bin in x,y
|
|
89
|
- eliminate outliers with min #counts cut
|
|
90
|
- then do a fit over part of the side of a diamond
|
|
91
|
- fit range is adjustable, shown nicely on the plot
|
|
92
|
- Low epsilon diamond plots should have MM cut included, as well as prompt
|
|
93
|
peak CT cut
|
|
94
|
- To ease selection of runs, Q2/W added to run list would be nice
|
|
95
|
- Look up table?
|
|
96
|
|
|
97
|
Muhammad Junaid Update
|
|
98
|
----------------------
|
|
99
|
- Working on the 8.5GeV run plan
|
|
100
|
|
|
101
|
- DC/calorimeter calibrations for both spectrometers
|
|
102
|
- First and last run of each setting
|
|
103
|
- More if the setting was very long
|
|
104
|
- Once done, will create a summary and circulate
|
|
105
|
- SHMS calorimeter calibrations will have to be treated differently
|
|
106
|
- Not much -ve polarity running where you can calibrate the peak at 1
|
|
107
|
- For positive polarity, want pi+ to be at a typical value ~0.3(?)
|
|
