--------------
|
|
20
|
HGCer Calib Update
|
|
21
|
- parameter equation in standard.database
|
|
22
|
- changes pushed to GitHub
|
|
23
|
- comparison w/ online HGC plots
|
|
24
|
- NPE distribution goes much higher now, particularly for last runs of
|
|
25
|
experiment, where gain drop was significant
|
|
26
|
- will post slides on calib after final set of runs is completed on ifarm
|
|

31
|
--------------
|
|
32
|
HMS Calorimeter Calib
|
|
33
|
- working on 9.177 GeV (2021) data
|
|
34
|
- marged Nathan's changes
|
|
35
|
- calibrating once a shift now
|
|
36
|
- DG: question on whether it is needed to calibrate this frequently
|
|
37
|
- MJ: sees shifts after 2-3 days, so need fairly often
|
|
38
|
|
|
39
|
GH: please have a discussion with Nathan, and come up with a plan on how many
|
|
40
|
runs need to be calibrated, and how long do you expect it to take
|
|
41
|
- concerned that MJ will feel stuck working on calibrations for a very long
|
|
42
|
time, so we should see if we can finish by Labor Day, if possible
|
|

Richard Updates
|
|
45
|
---------------
|
|
46
|
Changes to mc_shms_hut.f for calorimeter edge cut
|
|
47
|
- it was commented out in RT's version, but NOT commented out in SIMC master
|
|
48
|
- DG: these cuts can be done either in a standalone script, or in SIMC, it's a
|
|
49
|
matter of what you prefer
|
|
50
|
|
|
51
|
Aerogel tray cuts now implemented in recon_hcana script
|
|
52
|
|
|
53
|
Implementing HGC hole cut
|
|
54
|
- will discuss this more w/ Ali after he's back
|
|
55
|
|
|
56
|
Kinematics averaging code is now simpler, replicating old Fortran code
|
|
57
|
- now just taking average kinematics per t-bin
|
|
58
|
|
|
59
|
Will give an update on Lumi scans status next week
|
|

Vijay Updates
|
|
62
|
-------------
|
|
63
|
Confirmed that calorimeter edge cut is NOT commented out in his SIMC
|
|
64
|
|
|
65
|
Target boiling corrections work in progress
|
|
66
|
- hoping to show some plots next week
|

Alicia Updates

|
--------------
|
|
70
|
Follow up from Portia's work on piDelta BSA
|
|
71
|
- Portia did not have weighted SIMC plots, adding weights improved things a lot
|
|
72
|
- also a small error in phi conversion between Data & SIMC corrected
|
|
73
|
- No Dummy subtractions yet (but Randoms are subtracted)
|
|
74
|
|
|
75
|
- Using SIDIS & piDelta MC output for MM-distribution shape
|
|
76
|
- fit to data looks very good (Q2=2.115)
|
|
77
|
- pi+n radiative tail also not yet included
|
|
78
|
- plot including radiative tail shows a significant contribution underneath
|
|
79
|
piDelta peak
|
|
80
|
|
|
81
|
- Preliminary BSA plot (Center only)
|
|
82
|
- integrated fitted piDelta MC to data
|
|
83
|
- expecting a large systematic uncertainty from the fit
|
|
84
|
- only one t-bin so far, possibly the Q2=2.115 can have two t-bins
|
|
85
|
|
|
86
|
- DG: HERMES had only one t-bin, but they removed the -t_min region (where
|
|
87
|
asymmetry is small) so that the remaining region had a larger BSA
|
|
88
|
|
|
89
|
pi+n Binning
|
|
90
|
- Q2=5.5: decided to have 4 t-bins rather than 5
|
|
91
|
- trying different phi-bin options: 9, 11, 13 bins
|
|
92
|
- DG: should get same asymmetry for all choices of phi-bins, provided there
|
|
93
|
are sufficient bins to fit the asymmetry moments
|
|
94
|
- in general, more bins are better
|
|
95
|
|
|
96
|
- 13 phi-bins looks good for Q2=5.5
|
|
97
|
- GH: please make a table of fitting results & errors vs #phi bins, so we can
|
|
98
|
check fit stability and trends
|
|
99
|
- DG: a little worried about the dependence on #phi bins, suggests a MC study
|
|
100
|
to see if there are any issues, such as e.g. if 9 phi-bins are sufficient
|
|
101
|
|
|
102
|
- Q2=4.4: 5 t-bins seems fine
|
|
103
|
- results with both 13, 15 phi-bins look okay
|
|
104
|
- 13 bins has a bit more wiggles
|
|
105
|
|
|
106
|
- Q2=3, W=2.32: 7 t-bins
|
|
107
|
|
|
108
|
- Q2=3, W=3.14: 7 t-bins
|
|
109
|
- this set has very good statistics
|
|
110
|
|
|
111
|
- Q2=2.115: 8 t-bins
|
|
112
|
- first t-bin has nearly zero asymmetry, very close to -t_min
|
|
113
|
- fit with A,B,C a bit weird, looks reminiscent of a capacitor breakdown
|
|
114
|
plot
|
|
115
|
- NG: there should be a way to tell ROOT the bins have a width, that
|
|
116
|
might get rid of the weird fits
|
|
117
|
- Nacer: has a small function that AP can try
|
|
118
|
|
|
119
|
BSA Error Analysis
|
|
120
|
- tried to re-derive error equation in S.Diehl's paper
|
|
121
|
- Diehl's eqn seems to be based on the approximation
|
|
122
|
Y+ \sim Y- which leads to Y+^2 + Y-^2 \sim 2Y+Y-
|
|
123
|
- DG confirms this is a common choice in PV experiments
|
|
124
|
|
|
125
|
- Alicia's formula has no approximations, is exact
|
|
126
|
- approximate formula leads to an under-estimation of errors
|
|
127
|
- difference between exact formula and approximate formula is small in most
|
|
128
|
cases, but the deviation grows for points where the BSA > 0.1
|
|
129
|
- Diehl BSA < 0.1, so difference not significant for those data
|
|
130
|
|
|
131
|
- we will use Alicia's formula, since it is more accurate
|
|
132
