|
---------------
|
|
20
|
- SIMC changes to make PM, EM calculations the same as in hcana
|
|
21
|
- Added in hcana/Carlos Yero calculations to SIMC, declared 4-momenta as
|
|
22
|
DIM4 vectors to make things easier, had to implement a matrix inversion
|
|
23
|
routine by hand in order to avoid dependency to other packages
|
|
24
|
- New calculations seem to be an improvement, but PmZ has a large shift
|
|
25
|
compared to before
|
|
26
|
- Unit discrepancy?
|
|
27
|
- DG - SIMC is MeV by default
|
|
28
|
- Dave G will take a look at Richard's code, for example some extra
|
|
29
|
manipulation with unit vectors seems to be needed in results_write.f which
|
|
30
|
is not in Carlos' code
|
|
31
|
|
|
32
|
- From now until Hall C workshop, will focus on LT separation code and try to
|
|
33
|
get something for the presentation
|
|
34
|
|
|
35
|
Outline/plan for the KaonLT/PionLT Hall C talk
|
|
36
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
37
|
- First round of output from Bill's LT-sep code
|
|
38
|
- A few slides of intro, example plots
|
|
39
|
|
|
40
|
- Q: should we show some of Alicia's results if there's time?
|
|
41
|
- They will be shown at the summer workshop, GH would put this as a lower
|
|
42
|
priority since there is already a huge amount to cover in ~16min talk
|
|
43
|
|
|
44
|
- Nathan will make a general outline of the talk and distribute it in the
|
|
45
|
next few days
|
|
46
|
|
|
47
|
- Richard has a deadline of Jan 6 to get stuff to Nathan
|
|
48
|
- Preliminary cross sections would be nice, but some indication that
|
|
49
|
separations are imminent is what we really want though, so example
|
|
50
|
plots from some steps in an LT separation iteration would be great
|
|
51
|
- Finalised offsets would be nice
|
|
52
|
- As a last resort, online analysis scripts still work OK and produce
|
|
53
|
some useful plots
|
|
54
|
|
|
55
|
- Diamond cuts using Jacob's routine, applied to KaonLT data would be nice to
|
|
56
|
show in the Hall C talk
|
|
57
|
|
|
58
|
- GH has an improved PionLT statistical error bar estimate for each
|
|
59
|
L/T-separation, based on online analysis, epsilon based on central
|
|
60
|
kinematics, and expected t-binning
|
|
61
|
- overall, the PionLT projected error bars are very similar to what was in
|
|
62
|
the proposal, with the exception of Q2=8.5 (significantly worse, partly
|
|
63
|
due to reduced delta-epsilon) and some pi- settings
|
|
64
|
- Nathan should let GH know what he would like for his presentation, in
|
|
65
|
terms of either tables or plots
|
|
66
|
|
|
67
|
- Nathan's talk moved to Thurs afternoon, can advertise for Jacob's optics talk
|
|
68
|
on Friday
|
|
69
|

|
Ali Updates
|
|
71
|
-----------
|
|
72
|
- New error calculations in template files
|
|
73
|
- Need to test all run types
|
|
74
|
|
|
75
|
- Need to incorporate EDTM beam-off correction too
|
|
76
|
- will rerun Lumi data to check that it gives a good result
|
|
77
|
|
|
78
|
- will finish testing by Friday and submit a big replay on ifarm for over
|
|
79
|
holidays
|
|

|
|

81
|
Nathan Updates
|
|
82
|
--------------
|
|
83
|
- Debugged code needed to submit large # runs to look at the reference times
|
|
84
|
- Should have finished now, will take a look later today
|
|
85
|
|
|

|
Jacob Updates
|
|
87
|
-------------
|
|
88
|
- Had a few meetings with Holly/Mark on HMS optics
|
|
89
|
|
|
90
|
- Mark suggests checks to see if there was an issue with the raster when taking
|
|
91
|
the carbon sieve optics data
|
|
92
|
- Check W vs xRaster for hydrogen data (at small z, +/- 1cm from target)
|
|
93
|
- Should see no correlation
|
|
94
|
- Haven't had a look just yet
|
|
95
|
- Might explain lack of resolution in Xsieve
|
|
96
|
- And trends in this
|
|
97
|
|
|
98
|
- Mark suggested a new method to try to select out sieve holes via cuts, to see
|
|
99
|
if this leads to any improvement in the Xsieve resolution
|
|
100
|
- Use Xfp vs Xsieve rather than xfp vs xpfp
|
|
101
|
- Potential downside: Using variable you're trying to correct (xsieve)
|
|
102
|
- Upside: the cut box is easier to draw, since its a clearer rectange
|
|
103
|
- No delta cuts
|
|
104
|
- will compare the result against SIMC as a check
|
|
105
|
|
|
106
|
- Try this one more time, removing areas (outside delta +/-8) we don't care
|
|
107
|
about for PionLT
|
|
108
|
- Mark is also puzzled that the Xsieve resolution varies so strongly
|
|
109

From the responses submitted so far, the best times appear to be (all times
|
|
120
|
Eastern):
|
|
121
|
Mondays 10:00-11:30
|
|
122
|
Wednesdays 9:00-10:30
|
|
123
|
Thursdays 17:00-18:30

124
|
|
|
125
|
It's very important that you indicate which times you are really unavailable,
|
|
126
|
not simply your personal preferences, as otherwise it will be impossible to
|
|
127
|
find a time that works for most.
