Jacob Updates
20
-------------
21
- Optics
22
   - will meet with Holly on Thursday
23
   - Holly working on SHMS CaFe optics data (actually taken during PionLT)
24
   - wants to "wrap up" optics in the next month
25
      - finalize high mom HMS ME (6.8 GeV/c)
26
      - finalize 5.5, 5.8 GeV/c ME
27
         - still need to see if both are needed, or if one can do both well
28
      - SHMS high mom corrections     
29
         - need to see if Holly's higher momentum ME will also work for our
30
	   8.0GeV/c optics data, or if separate ME are needed
31
      - HMS delta-corrections
32

    
33
- Main PionLT analysis
34
    - will meet w/Richard to discuss diamond cut script
35

    
36
Nathan Updates
37
--------------
38
- PionLT/KaonLT talk at Hall C January workshop
39
   - extended discussion on Nathan's talk outline and what can be shown
40
   TH: would like to see as many "in progress" plots as possible, to indicate
41
     that there has been progress
42
   - Data/SIMC Ratios, initial ratios probably will not look very good
43
      - people shouldn't judge us on the quality of the agreement at this early
44
        stage
45
      - try to find a setting where things are looking better and show that one
46
      - instead of showing ratios, can show overlap of distributions, to show
47
        whether the shapes agree
48
   - can also give some information on why the analysis is taking so long
49
      - a slide on various issues encountered
50
      - can give links to information from Oct Analysis meeting
51
   TH: try to get some plots from Richard, and then distribute a new draft so
52
     we can come up with some proper narrative for them
53

    
54
- Nathan, Richard, Ali will meet today at 14:00 Eastern
55
- Nathan will distribute a new draft by Friday
56
- We will meet Friday at 14:00 Eastern to give Nathan some useful feedback and
57
  suggestions on how to present the information effectively
58

    
59
Ali Updates
60
-----------
61
- New full replay of KaonLT data
62
   - new error calc (binomial)
63
   - corrected TLT for Beam Off time
64
       - the new calc is in addition to the old calc, not instead of it
65
   - updates to SHMS tracking
66
       - RT was seeing problems in positive polarity Lumi runs, when comparing
67
         tracked and untracked
68
       - after some comparison with Peter B, it was found some pruning and
69
         track selection parameters were different than his recommended values
70
       - changes only made to SHMS, since HMS is electrons only and doesn't
71
         seem to have the same problem
72
    - changes implemented for nearly all data types (except Heep Singles)
73

    
74
Richard Updates
75
---------------
76
- Debugging Bill's LT-sep code
77
   - have all inputs to the cross section code now
78
   - can run average_kinematics and other Fortran codes now
79
   - main issue was that there are many versions of the files, took a lot of
80
     time to sort out what's important
81
       GH: yes, we tried many different ways of doing background subtraction
82
       and other things in Bill's omega analysis, and I guess you have all
83
       parallel verisons of the code, and not only the final version
84
       (unfortunately)
85
   - meeting Stephen next week (while at JLab) on the code
86

    
87
- SIMC changes
88
   - sent DG information outlining the changes he made to SIMC, so DG can
89
     review them before pushing to main version
90

    
91
Vijay Updates
92
-------------
93
- will start looking at the LT-sep code
94
- also need to complete many studies needed to finalize normalize yields
95

    
96
Alicia Updates
97
--------------
98
- submitted batch jobs over the break, which ran successfully
99
- need to implement Dummy Target subtraction, and look at BSA for other
100
  settings
101
