|
Aerogel geometrical tray cuts are now implemented in SIMC
|
21
|
|
22
|
SIMC 4cm edge Calorimeter geometrical cut
|
23
|
- PeterB had suggested to implement (remove comment) in the SIMC code
|
24
|
- RT has done this
|
25
|
- RT will *follow-up* on whether the cut comment is removed in the master
|
26
|
version of SIMC and push, since it's clearly needed for everyone
|
27
|
|
28
|
Rewrote LT-analysis scripts
|
29
|
- now apply PID and acceptance cuts on run-by-run basis
|
30
|
- diamond cuts drawn on Center setting (and hopefully checked for Left and
|
31
|
Right?)
|
32
|
- random subtractions then done for data and dummy target
|
33
|
- combine all settings and choose t/phi bins for low epsilon, and check for
|
34
|
high epsilon
|
35
|
- compare SIMC to Data-Dummy for each SHMS setting
|
36
|
- combine settings for each (Q2,W,t,phi,epsilon) bin for Data, Dummy, SIMC
|
37
|
- yield is calculated from effective charge (where LT, Eff applied to Charge on
|
38
|
run-by-run basis)
|
39
|
|
40
|
- we had an extended discussion on Richard's script to determine average
|
41
|
kinematics
|
42
|
- the script seems *overly complicated*, a simpler script is less likely to
|
43
|
contain errors
|
44
|
- GH is willing to have another meeting on this, or any other issue, just
|
45
|
ask!

Working on TrkEff for pi+ and electrons
|
50
|
- plot is shown of TrkEff vs Run #
|
51
|
- pi+: 97.5% to 99.9%
|
52
|
- e: 99.5% to 99.9%
|
53
|
- please make a plot of TrkEff vs S1X_Rate(kHz) so we can see if the
|
54
|
decreasing trend with rate makes sense. It will also make a nice plot for
|
55
|
thesis.
|
56
|
|
57
|
Next step is plot of EDTM_LT vs Trigger Rate

Presented draft slides for upcoming ECT* workshop on Transition GPDs
|
62
|
- workshop dates: Aug 21-25
|
63
|
- invitation was to present pi+Delta0 channel from KaonLT data
|
64
|
|
65
|
- Dry run is Monday at 15:00 Eastern
|
66
|
- GH will set up and distribute Zoom link

|
t-binning for BSA analysis
|
71
|
|
72
|
- starting with Q2=5.5 setting, which has worst statistics
|
73
|
- probably will use 4 instead of 5 t-bins
|
74
|
- 15 phi bins seems too many for the statistics
|
75
|
- error bars fairly big, and lots of sensitivity to whether A, or A,B,C fit
|
76
|
is used
|
77
|
- will try 9 or 11 phi bins
|
78
|
- maybe consider the differences between A, or A,B,C fits to decide which
|
79
|
binning to use
|
80
|
|
81
|
- Q2=4.4 setting:
|
82
|
- 15 phi-bins looks okay
|
83
|
|
84
|
- lower Q2: lots of statistics so can try 8-10 t-bins to nicely get t-shape of
|
85
|
asymmetry
|
86
|
- since there are so many events, it's not needed to have equal statistics
|
87
|
for each t-bin, just as long as they are all above a minimum amount
|

Portia Updates

|
91
|
This is Portia's last day with us this summer. Besh wishes Portia on your
|
92
|
upcoming wedding!
|

|
94
|
Delta0pi+ MM plots
|
95
|
- scaling SIDIS and piDelta SIMC distributions to match data for each phi bin
|
96
|
at Q2=4.4
|
97
|
- Green=SIDIS Blue= piDelta Red=Green+Blue Black=Data
|
98
|
- statistics are much less than for pi+n BSA analysis
|
99
|
- only 1 t-bin for this setting, lower Q2 settings may have 2 t-bins
|
100
|
|
101
|
- the fits are reasonably good in the Delta region, but some discrepancies
|
102
|
- clear evidence of Second Resonance contributions to the data
|
103
|
- GH needs to look at *modifying* piDelta code for piN*

107
|
Running comparo between data w/ new HGC calib and online data
|
108
|
- job not done yet, as ifarm is doing annual maintenance this week
|
109
|
|
110
|
Mods to standard.kinematics are continuing
|

|
DC calibs
|
115
|
- RefTime cuts were wrong for Heep singles data (wrong trigger chosen)
|
116
|
- switched to ELREAL RefTime cuts, looks better now
|
117
|
|
118
|
Calorimeter calibs
|
119
|
- finished 9.9 GeV calibs, doing only one calibration per shift now
|
