------
|
|
20
|
- No new results to show, busy on Commitee report & TA
|
|
21
|
- Helped setup the software for Junaid for Hodoscope calibrations
|

Hodoscope v_prop calib for 2022 Run Period
|
|
26
|
- plot of delta(x) vs beta(y)
|
|
27
|
- run 14996, start of Summer 2022 beam
|
|
28
|
- HMS: significant improvement
|
|
29
|
- SHMS_ a peculiar gap noticed on the plots near delta=0,
|
|
30
|
- need to investigate without HGC cut to make sure problem isn't with hodo
|
|
31
|
- Run 16558, later in Summer 2022 beam period
|
|
32
|
- compare 14996 calib (before) with new calib (after)
|
|
33
|
- only minor improvement seen compared to 14996 calib
|
|
34
|
- DG says these small differences are acceptable, can use only one calib for
|
|
35
|
2022 data
|
|
36
|
|
|
37
|
Next steps
|
|
38
|
- will do same for 2021, compare 14996 calib to a new one
|
|
39
|
- probably will use separate calibs for 2021, 2022, but not sure yet
|
|
40
|
- after this, then go back to recheck DC calibs
|
|

Vijay
|
|
43
|
-----
|
|
44
|
- replaying Heep coin data with new offsets to be sure they are implemented
|
|
45
|
correctly
|
|
46
|
- GH will send Vijay expected residuals with these offsets, for comparison
|
|
47
|
with replay result
|
|
48
|
|
|
49
|
Next steps
|
|
50
|
- will start Lumi study after Heep offsets finalized
|

|
-------
|
|
54
|
Spoke w/IT about iFarm problems
|
|
55
|
- sounds like it's caused by huge Hall B jobs, won't reset iFarm until Oct 17
|
|
56

57
|
CoinTime leakage issue in 10.6GeV data
|
|
58
|
- plot of SHMS Beta vs. Coin time for Q2=2.1, high epsilon data
|
|
59
|
- shows the peculiar two tails due to bad coin time
|
|
60
|
- after PID cut the two tails are mostly reduced for kaons
|
|
61
|
- Dave: Need to estimate the correction from pion data, then included for kaon
|
|
62
|
data. The reason why it's not as evident in K+ data is due to lower
|
|
63
|
statistics.
|
|
64
|
- need determine a beta-cut efficiency to apply to data
|
|
65
|
- one possibility:
|
|
66
|
- apply MM cut to select pi+n but w/o beta or CT cuts (denominator)
|
|
67
|
- then apply beta cut in addition (numerator)
|
|
68
|
- GH will set up a meeting with Ali & Richard next Monday to discuss the
|
|
69
|
determination of the correction and its implementation
|
|

|
|
71
|
Starting model parameters for LT-separation
|
|
72
|
- found a simple equation for t_average (tav) in formulas
|
|
73
|
- GH: it sigLT, sigTT are too large, just set starting parameters to zero
|
|
74
|
- GH: for sigL, sigT, all you want to do is to find an initial set which does
|
|
75
|
not have crazy behavior (such as negative weights), when the iterations are
|
|
76
|
working they will converge fairly quickly to more accurate values
|
|
77
|
- suggest to sit down with a calculator and find some initial values that are
|
|
78
|
not crazy
|

|
82
|
Computed in-plane offsets for the lower energy KaonLT data
|
|
83
|
- Investigated the adequate number of data points to be used to extract the
|
|
84
|
offsets:
|
|
85
|
- Low Q2 summer 2019 (3 energies)
|
|
86
|
- Lowest 5 energies
|
|
87
|
- KaonLT 5 beam energies
|
|
88
|
- all 8 beam energies
|
|
89
|
- noticed some higher/lower offsets between the different sets
|
|
90
|
- Tanja: dpe, dthp seem driven by lowest energy data
|
|
91
|
- GH wants to generate some offsets for only the higher beam energies
|
|
92
|
- Dave: would be interesting to exclude data for HMS above 5 GeV/c momentum,
|
|
93
|
to avoid HMS saturation issues
|
