|
Q2=2.1, high/low epsion PID study
|
|
21
|
- need to work around lack of RF info for some 10.6GeV data
|
|
22
|
- Still working on finalising procedures/debugging scripts
|

|
26
|
Carlos/Casey reported they still had rate dependence issue with Lumi scans at
|
|
27
|
recent Hall C meeting
|
|
28
|
- See Carlos' slides on DocDB
|
|
29
|
- Will discuss with Carlos next week
|
|
30
|
- Yield dependence vs beam current believed due to accidental hits blocking
|
|
31
|
coin events
|
|
32
|
- Applies a coin blocking factor to remove rate dependence
|
|
33
|
|
|
34
|
- DG: In online CaFe results, Carlos did not have very tight cuts around T1/T2
|
|
35
|
that go into forming coin time
|
|
36
|
- things should look better with tighter cuts, but no final study done yet
|
|
37
|
- PB is also applying a rate-dependent correction, believed to be due to
|
|
38
|
FADC deadtime
|
|
39
|
- might be impossible to disentangle the two effects
|
|
40
|
|
|
41
|
Investigatng strangely large yields previously seen for Right settings of
|
|
42
|
Q2=3.0, 2.1 and 5.5, 10.6GeV data
|
|
43
|
- Thinks this is somehow a replay level issue
|
|
44
|
- Farm issues stopping them running, replaying again now that's fixed
|
|
45
|
- Maybe an issue with TDC cuts?
|
|
46
|
- Might not be the right that's the problem, could be left and centre
|
|
47
|
- Real to random ratio very different between left/centre and right
|
|
48
|
|
|
49
|
- Alicia doesn't see the same weirdness with the right setting for same data
|
|
50
|
- Alicia's right setting has smallest yields, center is largest, as expected
|
|
51
|
- Used files from Ali?
|
|
52
|
- *Should* be the same param files?
|
|
53
|
- Customised these to add helicity
|
|
54
|
- Clearly, Alicia's different result greatly constrains the possible sources
|
|
55
|
of the problem Richard sees
|
|
56
|
- Richard will compare with Ali and take a look
|
|
57
|
|
|
58
|
SIMC EM/PM scripts
|
|
59
|
- Need to meet and discuss with DG about pushing SIMC scripts to GitHub
|
|
60
|
|
|
61
|
Garth/Ali/Vijay/Richard met yesterday to discuss LTsep parameterisation
|

Vijay Updates
|
|
66
|
-------------
|
|
67
|
- Created kinematics files for LTSep analysis
|
|
68
|
- Created input files for average kinematic script
|
|
69
|
- Testing this script with input files
|
|
70
|
- Still a few bugs to fix
|
|
71
|
- Working on understanding the cross section model and iterating over the
|
|
72
|
parameterisation
|
|
73
|
- Garth has some ideas he will discuss via email
|
|
74
|
|
|
75
|
- Need to go back and deal with normalized yield issues after understanding
|
|
76
|
model cross sections
|

|
Aerogel Calibrations
|
|
81
|
- Found the source of difference between Petr's method and old method
|
|
82
|
- Petr fits on NPE while old method is fit on adcPulseAmp
|
|
83
|
- To get back the calibration param value, just multiply by the current
|
|
84
|
calibration value
|
|
85
|
- SK: you could just give Petr's code CalibParam=1, so it fits FADC value
|
|
86
|
|
|
87
|
- Plotted params as fn of run number
|
|
88
|
- Petr's error bars are much larger than the variance of the calib data, so
|
|
89
|
doesn't use them when computing means
|
|
90
|
- 4+ looks like it has a trend vs time, 4- looks relatively stable
|
|
91
|
|
|
92
|
- Added position cuts
|
|
93
|
- Also added HGC cut
|
|
94
|
- With tray and HGC cut, remove basically everything
|
|
95
|
- Probably not much to be gained by adding cuts in?
|
|
96
|
- DG: fiducial cuts are important for the global fit method, because want to
|
|
97
|
be sure you have only particles expecting to give Cherenkov light
|
|
98
|
|
|
99
|
- DG: need to take time-dependence of calib into account, as otherwise the
|
|
100
|
aerogel efficiency is time-dependent (worse!)
|
|
101
|
- TH: break the calibrations into periods based on settings, then time-dep
|
|
102
|
automatically taken into account
|
|
103
|
- NH will break up the data into chunks
