|
|
|
15
|
- Garth's set of offsets have improved W and Pmx greatly, but emiss and Pmz are still very off.
|
|
16
|
- This is likely a sign issue. Dave suggested running the heepcheck script to find proper signs and adjustments.
|
|
17
|
- Richard is adding a new variable (thetacm, which is the vertex theta variable) to the simc output root files. The variable is added, but not showing up in the root file.
|
|
18
|
- Dave and Richard will discuss offline how to incorporate new simc variables to the roof file. The way Richard is doing so seems fine, may need some debugging by Dave.
|

Ali

|
21
|
|
|
22
|
- Replaying HeepCoin for beta efficiency. Runs are still being processed, should be finished soon.
|
|
23
|
- Ran for variety of Q2 and eps to compare.
|
|
24
|
- Calculated shms beta eff (only taking events from shms, ignore hms. This is the ~85%). Also calculated coin beta eff (this greatly helps the efficiency. This is ~95%).
|
|
25
|
- Apply same calculation to physics data after heep analysis is finished.
|
|
26
|
- Physics: epi, ep and ek cuts for three type of efficiencies
|
|
27
|
- Calculated run by run in report files
|
|
28
|
- Dave thinks we need a detailed MM analysis but not run by run because fluctuations can be introduced since it is such a small sample size of good events per run.
|
|
29
|
- Concern if there is a clean enough sample so heep might be fine to use for everything.
|
|
30
|
- Run by run has a larger uncertainty but it is mainly to check trends. In the end, only one efficiency will be used.
|
|
31
|
- The MM cut needs to be really tight because it is critical to have as clean a sample as possible.
|
|
32
|
- PID cuts need to be played around with to find the optimal beta efficiency that stabilizes around a certain set of cuts
|
|
33
|
- Two Cerenkov cuts
|
|
34
|
- MM cut
|
|
35
|
- Plan is now to initially not doing run by run, instead, setting by setting to get the proper PID/MM cuts. Once a good set of cuts are achieved, then it can be done run by run in the report file.
|
|
36
|
- Ali will send around the following plot: Eff vs run number (for all heep settings, which already has a good set of cuts). This should show a stable efficiency across runs.
|

Nathan
|
|
39
|
|
|
40
|
- Finished up committee report so not much of an update
|
|
41
|
- Junaid was looking at SHMS hodo. Looks like only one set of calibrations for 2022, but two or so for 2021.
|
|
42
|
- Following up with Carlos Yero about a reference time cut of some type
|
|
43
|
- Junaid and Nathan need to organize jobs for luminosity and PID. Calibrations need to be finalized, once this is done a big replay needs to be done.

* Richard applied a set of global fit offsets to the higher beam energy data - finds that W looks ok, while Px, Pz, Emiss go in the wrong direction. Py does not change, but that is expected as only sensitive to oop offsets
|
|
50
|
|
|
51
|
* Actions:
|
|
52
|
::* check if the signs are applied correctly - there may be opposite signs for energy and momentum
|
|
53
|
::* check with Heepcheck what offset to expect and check against the analysis
|
|
54
|
::* try the set of offsets for a single beam energy only
|
|
55
|
|
|
56
|
* Richard is trying to add a new variable to the SIMC ntuple - seems to be applied in the correct places in the code, but not showing up in the ntuple
|
|
57
|
|
|
58
|
* Action: Richard will debug with Dave G offline
|
|
59
|
|
|
60
|
* Ali calculated the fraction of events lost when beta cut is applied - using elastics heepcoin for that. Idea is to get a sample for good protons.
|
|
61
|
::* getting a good sample of protons requires tighter cuts than normal analysis
|
|
62
|
::* cuts to tighten: cherenkov, missing mass, aerogel, maybe calorimeter
|
|
63
|
|
|
64
|
* Action: calculate efficiencies for all heepcoin settings and their uncertainties. Plans to present the results next week
