|
-------------
|
|
21
|
- Spectrometer matrix element fitting
|
|
22
|
- HMS 6.2 GeV/c Runs 14970,71,72
|
|
23
|
- Updates to optics matrix not improving things as much as expected
|
|
24
|
- Xsieve resolution remains poor, particularly at negative delta
|
|
25
|
- Meeting with Holly next week
|
|
26
|
- Mark has a README in the dat files directory outlining what each matrix
|
|
27
|
should correspond to
|
|
28
|
- https://github.com/JeffersonLab/hallc_replay/blob/master/DATFILES/README.txt
|
|
29
|
- Need to make sure this is in hallc_replay_lt
|
|
30
|
- A1n optics matrix work - https://github.com/hszumila/shms_optics_a1n
|
|
31
|
- SHMS starts "saturating" at 7.6 GeV/c
|
|
32
|
- Not deep into saturation, but start of the non-linearity for HB,Q1
|
|
33
|
- Holly doing calibration at 8.55 GeV/c
|
|
34
|
- Jacob will look at 8.035 GeV/c
|
|
35
|
- XEM just did delta scans at 8.0 GeV/c
|
|
36
|
- Started on HMS 5.9 and 5.6 GeV/c matrix elements
|
|
37
|
- Holly will send extra sieve data at 6.3 GeV/c
|
|
38
|
- Hoping that we can use one HMS matrix for all settings except high GeV/c
|
|
39
|
- Likely to get a new SHMS matrix, good for all except maybe high GeV/c
|
|
40
|
|
|
41
|
- Done with XEM shifts, will have more time now for analysis
|
|
42
|
- Kinematics check
|
|
43
|
- Ensure all runs are correctly labelled in the kinematics file
|
|
44
|
- Add labels if they don't exist
|
|
45
|
|
|
46
|
- Discussions with Casey Morean, Peter Bosted during shift work
|
|
47
|
- ELCLEAN to BCM scalers - check rate is stable vs current as a simple
|
|
48
|
scaler check at beginning of analysis
|
|
49
|
- True only for fixed HMS kinematics
|
|
50
|
- Should be stable within each Q2 etc
|
|
51
|
- Narrowing timing cuts, Casey has a script
|
|
52
|
|
|
53
|
- NGC calibration script, maybe overcomplicated?
|
|
54
|
- Cameron C has a slimmed down version
|
|

Nathan Updates
|
|
57
|
--------------
|
|
58
|
- Finished written part of the comprehensive exam, oral is next week
|
|
59
|
- PionLT analysis slowly coming back on the radar
|
|
60
|
|
|
61
|
Junaid Updates
|
|
62
|
--------------
|
|
63
|
- Similar to Nathan, starting also on PhD committee report (meeting Nov 10)
|
|
64
|
|
|
65
|
Alicia Updates
|
|
66
|
--------------
|
|
67
|
- Starting to set up analysis of Helicity, getting to grips with software
|
|
68
|
- Helicity now in the hcana replay
|
|
69
|
- One analysis script going
|
|
70
|
|
|
71
|
Richard Updates
|
|
72
|
---------------
|
|
73
|
- Positive polarity Lumi scan (SHMS 10.6 GeV)
|
|
74
|
- Hadron rather than proton cuts in the Lumi
|
|
75
|
- Made things look worse (must be some extra background sneaking in at high
|
|
76
|
current with wide PID cuts?)
|
|
77
|
- Proton cuts look best
|
|
78
|
- Added in event type 3 to the SHMS cut
|
|
79
|
- Didn't make much difference
|
|
80
|
- Opened up current cuts
|
|
81
|
- Things look worse overall (not surprising)
|
|
82
|
- Trend present in SHMS
|
|
83
|
- will tighten the cuts
|
|
84
|
|
|
85
|
- Analysis meeting and APS meeting slides coming soon
|
|
86
|
- APS meeting - Will discuss KaonLT updates
|
|
87

|
|
90
|
- PhD committee report finished, meeting next week (Oct 17)
|
|
91
|
|
|
92
|
- Peter B sent email regarding offsets
|
|
93
|
- Not everyone got it
|
|
94
|
- Peter had a correction factor for all data, SIDIS and KaonLT (high energy)
|
|
95
|
- MM distributions line up well for all pi+/K+/p channels
|
|
96
|
- Applied as a percentage of HMS central momentum
|
|
97
|
- Correction factor works in saturation region of HMS
|
|
98
|
- % offset in delta that is uniform, not a numerical value
|
|
99
|
- Scales with momentum as a consequence
|
|
100
|
- will try Peter's offsets in Heepcheck analysis
|

|
-------------
|
|
104
|
- PhD committee report - done now (meeting Oct 21)
|
|
105
|
|
|
106
|
- Yield vs current plots from Lumi analysis (low E data)
|
|
107
|
- Messy currently, need some optimisation
|
|
108

Stephen Updates
|
|
110
|
---------------
|
|
111
|
- No report
|
|
112
|
- WNPPC this year is actually in Banff, AB not Siver Star, BC
|
|
113
|
- Banff is the famous Rocky Mountain National Park near Calgary
|
|
114
|
- Feb 16-20, 2023
|
|
115
|
- we will plan on several cars of people driving from Regina
|
|
116
|
- hoping that some USA colleagues can join us
|
|
117
|
- fly to Calgary and then rent a car
|
|
