---------------
20
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!

49
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

-----------
61
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
67

70
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
88

    
89
Portia Updates
90
--------------
91
This is Portia's last day with us this summer.  Besh wishes Portia on your
92
upcoming wedding!
93

    
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*
104

    
105
Nathan Updates
106
--------------
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
111

    
112
Junaid Updates
113
--------------
114
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
120

    
121
Next Meeting
122
------------
123
- Thur Aug 17 @ 16:00 Eastern/14:00 Regina/13:00 Pacific
124
- PionLT will go first
125

    
126
- GH will send an email to DG,TH,JR,PB,PM to see when they're *available* past
