JLab - Dave Gaskell
15
FIU - Pete Markowitz
16
Ohio - Jacob Murphy

18
Richard Updates
19
---------------
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

    
70
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
80

    
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

    
86
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

Next Meeting
111
------------
112
Wed Jan 4 @ 9:00 Eastern/8:00 Regina/6:00 Pacific
113
- PionLT will go first
114

    
115
If you have not yet done so, please fill in the poll to pick our meeting times
116
for Jan 9-Mar 24

118

    
119
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.
