Preparing for LT-sep iterations
|
|
20
|
- Ratio of Data/MC vs. phi for different t bins for both low/high epsilon looks
|
|
21
|
more consistent
|
|
22
|
- set interference terms LT,TT to zero
|
|
23
|
- sigL had a (t-0.2) type term, removed for now
|
|
24
|
- the motivation of the (t-0.2) in the Fpi-2 pi-/pi+ analysis was to give a
|
|
25
|
simple proxy for t'
|
|
26
|
- the dependence of the Ratios vs t once the iterations start will give
|
|
27
|
information on what the data will require as far as t-dependent
|
|
28
|
parameterization is concerned
|
|
29
|
|
|
30
|
- Short routine to recompute SIMC weights after an iteration, to avoid having
|
|
31
|
to re-run SIMC after each iteration
|
|
32
|
- Still working to improving weight computation
|
|
33
|
- Garth: use a ratio method to compute the weights, to avoid recompute
|
|
34
|
Jacobians and other factors needed to go from cross section to weight
|
|
35
|
New_Weight=Old_Weight*(New_dsigma/Old_dsigma)
|
|
36
|
- Confirm the usage of CM frame variables, before computing the weights
|
|
37
|
- will almost certainly need to add variables to SIMC ROOT tree to do the new
|
|
38
|
weight calculation efficiently

HeepCoin comparison after Garth's offsets
|
|
43
|
- offsets used were determined using only 2.7, 3.6, 4.5 GeV data
|
|
44
|
- Vijay justified this choice by the fact that this set had P_SHMS offset
|
|
45
|
equal to zero, which seems more reasonable for these low spectrometer
|
|
46
|
momenta
|
|
47
|
- Improved W value after applying offsets corrections obtained from Garth
|
|
48
|
|
|
49
|
Next Steps
|
|
50
|
- looking at Heep cross-sections using existing cryotarget boiling corr
|
|
51
|
- also looking at Lumi correction script for Summer 2019 data
|
|

|
More on the HeepCoin offsets
|
|
56
|
- looked at Vijay's data for other variables: EM, PMX, PMZ, W
|
|
57
|
- the results seems overall in agreement with predicted quantities
|
|
58
|
- EM is worst variable in terms of reconstruction, which is disappointing
|
|
59
|
- overall, observed behavior with offsets is slightly worse than predicted
|
|
60
|
- Low Q^2 data at low -t<0.01 is sensitive to correct offsets
|
|
61
|
|
|
62
|
- Still need to investigate for other energies
|
|
63
|
- Richard should try GH's offsets determined for 3 highest beam energies
|
|
64
|
|
|
65
|
- GH might ask Vijay to rerun using an alternate set of offsets for
|
|
66
|
comparison, GH needs to do more study first

New parameters for Hodo Vp for 2021 and 2022
|
|
75
|
- still need to see if gap in distribution at x=0 is there or not after
|
|
76
|
removing HGC cut

Had a meeting yesterday to come up with a plan for the CT "leakage" problem in
|
|
81
|
10.6 GeV data
|
|
82
|
- will not affect BSA analysis, except that will have to apply Beta cut before
|
|
83
|
selecting random windows

Just returned from Pakistan. The plan going forward:
|
|
88
|
- Study Beta cut dependence on data rates and on other variables, to see if the
|
|
89
|
CT leakage correction is stable, or not
|
|
90
|
- will start with Heep data, then move to physics
|
|
91
|
- will calculate separate corrections for pi/K/p, to see if they're equivalent
|
|
92
|
(within errors)
|
|
93
|
|
|
94
|
- will calculate the CT leakage correction in the report files, so it will be
|
|
95
|
available for all runs in the nxt replay
|
|
96
|
|
|
97
|
- Tanja: will the correction determined from only some runs, or all?
|
|
98
|
- AU: it depends on what the data show. We hope it's not rate dependent, but
|
|
99
|
we have to check. Maybe the HeepCoin data give the most reliable
|
|
100
|
correction.

Working on selection optimization for KaonLT data @ 3.8 GeV
|
|
105
|
- copied some output ROOT files from iFarm to local workstation
|
|
106
|
- Good news: There is no Coin Time vs. Beta tails observed for these data.
|
|
107
|
- particle ID studies for K+ in progress
