--------------
20
- Working on DC calib, busy with assignments

Richard Updates

---------------
24
PID for the right SHMS setting
25
- Doing proton analysis from pion cuts
26
   - Subtract from MM for kaon
27
   - Will do same thing with pion background
28
   - Hopefully huge peak in right setting will make more sense
29
- will do for settings where there is large background, primarily Q22=5.5, 2.1
30
   - haven't looked yet at Q2=4.0, 3.0   
31

    
32
Lumi analysis
33
- still have to discuss some issues with Carlos, so this is still a work in
34
  progress
35

    
36
- 10.6 GeV scan #1 - SHMS 6.842, SHMS Theta 6.495, HMS -3.266, HMS Theta 12.530
37
   - Relative track yield only shown
38
   - Carbon Runs 5154-5298 looks pretty good, quite flat
39
   - Hydrogen Runs 5150-5166 looks like it potentially has a slight bit of
40
     anti-boiling, ~1.5% @ 70uA
41

    
42
- Lumi scan #2 
43
   - Carbon 5178-5181 looks flat
44
   - Hydrogen looks like it's anti-boiling, ~3% @ 500kHz (ELREAL)
45
      - Effect seems to take off > 250kHz
46

    
47
- Lumi scan #3 - One Peter/Mark took, SHMS -6.2
48
   - Carbon 5351-5358 slight decine, but errors large
49
   - LH2 5342-5350 HMS strong boiling, ~6% @ 25uA, still investigating
50
      - Bad TLTs for this setting
51
      - Some had runs times < 1 minute
52
      - Some odd cut going on?
53
      - Other than setting #3, things look pretty good overall
54
   - LHS 5342-5350 Track SHMS 
55
      - two outliers, otherwise fine, same issue with LT
56

    
57
- 8.2 GeV Lumi Run #1 - SHMS -5.745, HMS -5.745
58
   - HMS carbon looks ok, quite flat
59
   - HMS hydrogen looks ok, some boiling, ~4% at 50uA
60
   - SHMS carbon 7948-7951 - anti boiling @ 250kHz (ELREAL)
61
   - SHMS LH2 7954-7960 - 2% boiling @ 50uA
62
   - Overall lumi looks pretty good
63

    
64
- Lumi studies can nearly be wrapped up
65
   - GH: plan for this?
66
   - RT: Give definitive reasons for each of the effects seen, and rejecting
67
   - bad runs
68
   - Look at HMS/SHMS across all settings, get a definitive boiling correction
69
      - HMS should give more reliable boiling result, since lower rates, but
70
        SHMS should be consistent with it once rate dependence effects are
71
        removed
72
   - GH: Rate dependence from physics data? i.e. the settings where we took
73
     data at different currents for same setting, a Lumi scan with Physics data
74
      - since there seems to be limited good Lumi data to confirm
75
        rate-dependent effects, we need to use the Physics Lumi study to
76
        confirm rate dependences and find overall rate correction
77
   - TH: agrees, it looks like there is a residual rate dependence that is not
78
     yet understood
79
      - No carbon boiling, but something else we don't understand
80
      - March/April 2019 data, had some where we varied the current across a
81
        setting
82
      - Ali will dig out the runs
83
   - AU: "8038-8085 This is largest rate variance in SHMS. There S1X goes upto
84
     2.5 MHz"
85
   - GH: Vijay, plot on left with increasing SHMS rate is important, if this is
86
     real, need to correct for it in Summer 2019 pion data too
87
      - it would be really helpful to compare Mar/Apr KaonLT and Summer-2019
88
        rate dependence analyses to see if they're consistent
89
      - any significant difference might indicate a systematic uncertainty

102
Working on LT-sep plotting scripts
103

Stephen Updates

109
Hall C Quarterly Analysis Meeting
110
   - Carlos Lumi studies
111
   - Richard update on SIMC kinematic variable scripts
112
   - David Hamilton on NPS software changes
113
   - maybe Peter Bosted can discuss some of his findings?
114

    
115
Brief run through of GHP talk
116
- EIC/JLab22 Pion Structure prospects
117
- Tanja notes:
118
   - It's pion structure functions with exclusive reactions, no? -> Update
119
     slide 1 title
120
   - One thing to be careful with is the statement "cannot do L/T separations"
121
     since one can do it if one has a good angular coverage as shown by data
122
     analysis from Hall B. Saying "traditional L/T is problematic" seems fine.
123
   - Depends who's in your audience :-)
124
   - JLab 22 GeV is very useful even if there is an EIC - one can motivate that
125
     it provides a window between JLab 12 and EIC
