 | 
  
    | 14 | 
 | 
  
    | 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.
 | 
  
    | 19 |

 | 
  
    | 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.
 | 
  
    | 37 | 
 | 
  
    | 38 | 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.
 |

 | 
  
    | 49 | * 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
