--------------
|
|
22
|
Hodoscope calibrations, picking up from where Jacob left off
|
|
23
|
- comparison of before and after calibrations for SHMS data
|
|
24
|
- Hodoscope calibration SHMS looks good, HMS calibrations are now running
|
|
25
|
- Showed generally flat SHMS Beta vs Xfp, Yfp distributions, while before plots
|
|
26
|
had pronounced wiggles
|
|
27
|
|
|
28
|
- SHMS: 10 runs were calibrated, will look at stability before deciding how
|
|
29
|
many calibrations are ultimately needed
|
|
30
|
- will do time walk first, hopefully only 3 sets needed, as MarkJ says that
|
|
31
|
these should be quite stable
|
|
32
|
- V_P (propagation speed??) may have to be done more often, as the output is
|
|
33
|
complicated and it's harder to tell if things are stable or not
|
|
34
|
|
|
35
|
- small statistical deficit near middle x-position to be investigated
|
|
36
|

|

Junaid Updates
|
|
38
|
--------------
|
|
39
|
Finished calorimeter calibrations for both SHMS, HMS
|
|
40
|
- all database files updated, pushed to GitHub
|
|
41
|
|
|
42
|
Will look again at DC calibs after Nathan pushes initial hodo changes
|
|
43
|
- Waiting for the time of walk check/push from Nathan
|
|
44
|
- might help Nathan with some of the stability checks in the interim

---------------
|
|
48
|
Update on the kaon LT analysis software
|
|
49
|
- sample of binning scripts shown
|
|
50
|
- SIMC data will have to be rebinned every iteration, but Exp data should only
|
|
51
|
need to be rebinned once (at beginning, after offsets are finalized)
|
|
52
|
|
|
53
|
Will have a discussion with GH, VK, AU on LTsep software, and Offsets tomorrow
|
|
54
|
at Noon Eastern, 10:00 Regina time

57
|
--------------
|
|
58
|
Beam spin asymmetry fit results
|
|
59
|
- Beam asymmetry fits look consistent over most t-bins, except for couple of
|
|
60
|
bins at different Q2
|
|
61
|
- Q2=2.11, lowest -t bin differs from zero by <2 sigma, which seems reasonable
|
|
62
|
|
|
63
|
- short question on whether we should include an offset in the BSA fit, as one
|
|
64
|
bin's data suggests the fit would be better if BSA oscillation was slightly
|
|
65
|
shifted from zero
|
|
66
|
- this bin still has a reasonable chi-square near 1, however
|
|
67
|
- DG: if you include an offset, you have to do it for all bins, not just this
|
|
68
|
one
|
|
69
|
- GH: doesn't think adding an offset is justified given the quality of the
|
|
70
|
fit to the data without one
|
|
71
|
- would imply an unusual systematic error in the measurement of the BSA
|
|
72
|
that seems difficult to imagine
|
|
73
|
|
|
74
|
- calculation of average kinematics per bin
|
|
75
|
- plot xB to get value from histo, instead of calculating from Q2-bar, W-bar
|

Vijay Updates
|
|
78
|
-------------
|
|
79
|
SHMS Hodoscope efficiencies per plane
|
|
80
|
- Runs: 8500-8600 display low efficiency compared to higher runs, also ~ 1-2%
|
|
81
|
efficiency jumps between different runs
|
|
82
|
- Plane 4 has the lowest rate, particularly for first set of runs near 8500
|
|
83
|
|
|
84
|
- Dave: it could be related to protons contamination in the pion sample, this
|
|
85
|
decreases the efficiency, particularly for the quartz plane 4
|
|
86
|
- suggests to add Aerogel PID cut to select mostly pions (in the report file
|
|
87
|
calculation only, not the analysis)
|
|
88
|
- this might get rid of some efficiency fluctuations and raise the plane 4
|
|
89
|
eff
|
|
90
|
- concerned that the real hodoscope efficiency is a stable >99%, rather than
|
|
91
|
fluctuating down to 97%. This would give rise to a 2% error in the LT-sep,
|
|
92
|
which would be magnified to an unacceptable level
|
|
93
|
|
|
94
|
- instead of plotting vs Coin Trig Rate, plot vs SHMS 3/4 trigger rate, which
|
|
95
|
corresponds more closely to the flux rate on the focal plane detectors
|
|
96
|
|
|
97
|
- working on Carbon luminosity analysis, nothing to show yet
|
|

Ali Updates
|
|

|
-----------
|
|
101
|
- Rerunning HeeP coin analysis for all Kaon LT data, for cross check against
|
|
102
|
Richard's results
|
|
103
|
- this is motivated by inconsistencies that GH reported in Heep data for
|
|
104
|
offsets
|
|
105
|
|
|
106
|
- Picking up on Portia's DeltaPi BSA analysis
|
|
107
|
- comment from Trento meeting was to look more carefully at the pi+n
|
|
108
|
exclusive radiative tail
|
|
109
|
- Next: Estimate exclusive radiative tail and SIDIS of delta
