-----------

|
Update to Heep singles, request to plot HMS_cal_eff vs P_HMS
|
|
23
|
- see a small decline with momentum, up to 4 GeV/c
|
|
24
|
- DG: resolution effect should give lower eff for P<2 GeV/c, not a decrease at
|
|
25
|
higher P
|
|
26
|
- best to call this a constant 99.5% efficiency with a small point-to-point
|
|
27
|
uncertanty to take into account the variation
|
|
28
|
- doesn't see any reason for efficiency to decrease for P~6 GeV/c in physics
|
|
29
|
data
|
|
30
|
- AU: will keep an eye on this in physics analysis, as COIN cuts may clear
|
|
31
|
things up for P>4 GeV/c
|
|
32
|
|
|
33
|
HMS-Cer-Ef vs (x,y)_CER is still to do
|
|
34
|
|
|
35
|
For next 2 weeks:
|
|
36
|
- starting pion PID for physics
|
|
37
|
- initial look at Q2=2.1, 3.0 settings and finalize PID cuts for both pi+n,
|
|
38
|
pi+Delta0 final states
|
|
39
|
- since Ali's foreground is Richard's background, and vice-versa, they will
|
|
40
|
coordinate

---------------
|
|
44
|
SIMC to hcana variable calculation script
|
|
45
|
- DG and RT fixed everything, various bugs found, finding an errant minus sign
|
|
46
|
was particularly important
|
|
47
|
- data MC comparison looking better
|
|
48
|
- SIMC distributions still a bit narrower than data
|
|
49
|
- DG: CaFe expt recently found that their fast raster correction in hcana had
|
|
50
|
the wrong sign
|
|
51
|
- this affects delta-reconstruction, it would be slightly wrong, resulting
|
|
52
|
in worsened resolution
|
|
53
|
- this is worth checking in our data too, try reversing sign and see if
|
|
54
|
resolution improves or not
|
|
55
|
- fortunately RT had this plot available, shows Raster-Y vs EM
|
|
56
|
- looks like there might be a small negative correlation
|
|
57
|
- TH: In Fpi-2, there was also a correlatino that needed to be corrected for
|
|
58
|
- see p.107 of her thesis
|
|
59
|
- DG: how confident are you in BPM calibration in replay?
|
|
60
|
- this would also affect Y-tar reconstruction, in addition to Raster
|
|
61
|
- RT: using Carlos Yero's calibration, so believes it's fine
|
|
62
|
|
|
63
|
LT-sep code: average kinematics & xsects
|
|
64
|
- shows some plots for Q2=5.5, W=3.02, t=0.01-1.99, Diamond-cut applied
|
|
65
|
- trial bins: 3 t-bins, 10 phi- bins
|
|
66
|
- BLACK=center, RED=left, GREEN=right
|
|
67
|
- right setting high epsilon looks high compared to others at high -t, lower
|
|
68
|
-t bins look fine, so not sure what's going on
|
|
69
|
- SIMC statistics look too low, GH suggests to run SIMC longer so that
|
|
70
|
statistical errors in EXP/SIMC ratio are dominated by uncertainties in data,
|
|
71
|
not MC
|
|
72
|
- GH: Ratio plotting scales need more care, remember that Left & Right SHMS
|
|
73
|
settings have some phi bins that are barely populated
|
|
74
|
- they may end up with weird ratios, but also these ratios have huge errors,
|
|
75
|
they can be safely ignored
|
|
76
|
- make plot ranges to concentrate on those phi-bins which have good
|
|
77
|
statistics
|
|
78
|
- GH: also please take a closer look at the EXP/MC plots that were used
|
|
79
|
historically (such as in LT-sep procedure slides, and make plots similar to
|
|
80
|
those, so that we can more readily interpret the results
|
|
81
|
|
|
82
|
For next 2 weeks:
|
|
83
|
- add more variables to SIMC conversion script
|
|
84
|
- push it to SIMC main repository, so it is a resource for others too
|
|
85
|
- try to see what's going on with right SHMS setting with weird normalization
|
|
86
|
|
|
87
|
AU: now that SIMC conversion script is working, wants to test if PBosted
|
|
88
|
offsets work for our data or not

|
-------------
|
|
92
|
Q2=0.38, 0.42 analysis
|
|
93
|
- updated MMpi cut 0.96->0.98
|
|
94
|
- shows events per t-bin after all cuts
|
|
95
|
- statistics per bin look pretty consistent
|
|
96
|
- TH: binning looks okay, highest -t bin is wider, but this is always an
|
|
97
|
issue
|
|
98
|
- working on average-kinematics files, shows some examples
|
|
99
|
|
|
100
|
For next 2 weeks:
|
|
101
|
- complete input files for average-kinematics
|
|
102
|
- plots of SIMC vs Data
|
|
103
|
- GH: please coordinate with RT so that your plots are in same format, so
|
|
104
|
that we can more easily interpret them and spot inconsistencies or errors

--------------
|
|
108
|
Aerogel Calibrations now running
|
|
109
|
- plotting time-dep and run-dep of calibrations
|
|
110
|
- hoping for one calibration per index, but will see after making plots
|
|
111
|
|
|
112
|
Looking more at LD- setting which had yield decrease after new RefTime cuts
|
|
113
|
- re-running w/Stephen's online setup
