"Final" Heep Offsets
|
|
20
|
- The previous computed offsets were wrong due to the usage of an old BPM
|
|
21
|
config file
|
|
22
|
- Using the corresponding BPM file, the offsets were updated
|
|
23
|
- lowest 3 beam energies nearly unchanged
|
|
24
|
- 8.2, 10.6 significant changes
|
|
25
|
In units of 0.1%, 1mrad:
|
|
26
|
dPe=-1.0, dPp=-2.0, dThe=1.0, dThp=1.1, dPhie=2.51, dPhip=-0.11
|
|
27
|
dEe varying with beam energy
|
|
28
|
- pmx and pmy are improved, trade off between (W, pmz) and (pmx, pmy, E_miss).
|
|

|
Next steps same as last week. Expecting to have Heep yield comparisons in 1-2
|
|
31
|
weeks.

|
|
36
|

|
-----
|
|
40
|
- had COVID all of the last week
|
|
41
|
- working on Luminosity study of summer 2019 data, hope to have initial results
|
|
42
|
to show soon
|
|
43
|
- then will look at low energy Heep yield ratios
|
|

------
|
|
47
|
- Now that Richard's offsets are finalized, batch script for 10.6 GeV Helicity
|
|
48
|
replay is running

Discussion about discrepancy between pi+n MC and data MM distributions for
|
|
51
|
higher -t bins
|
|
52
|
1) treatment of radiative tail in SIMC
|
|
53
|
- DaveG suggested to modify upper limit on Hard Photon radiative limit
|
|
54
|
- this parameter changes how the distribution is calculated for determining
|
|
55
|
whether a given event is within the spectrometer acceptance or not, to
|
|
56
|
save CPU
|
|
57
|
- if event-by-event calculations are done correctly, it should make no
|
|
58
|
difference
|
|
59
|
- indeed, adjusting this limit made no obvious difference
|
|
60
|
|
|
61
|
2) maybe the treatment of MM reconstruction resolution is incorrect in SIMC
|
|
62
|
- this would imply an optics issue in the reconstruction
|
|
63
|
- Dave: Did we check the missing mass resolution dependence with momentum
|
|
64
|
transfer (-t)?
|
|
65
|
- neutron MM peak clearly gets wider for higher -t bins in data, but not
|
|
66
|
SIMC
|
|
67
|
- Dave suggests that Alicia look at MM vs xptar, to see if there is a
|
|
68
|
correlation in the data that needs to be corrected
|
|
69
|
- Alicia: left side of neutron peak is described fine by SIMC, only the
|
|
70
|
right side gets worse
|
|
71
|
|
|
72
|
3) Nacer: maybe it's an issue of missing background?
|
|
73
|
- Garth: we could try include non-resonant 2pi production background in SIMC
|
|
74
|
- Ali us using SIDIS as well as DeltaPi
|
|
75
|
- SIDIS distribution already includes non-resonant 2pi
|
|
76
|
- Alicia can add this from Portia's script last summer
|
|
77
|
- Garth: the data show a rise at MM=1.08, the 2pi production threshold.
|
|
78
|
Addition of these processes will not fill in the gap between the n peak and
|
|
79
|
MM=1.08, so we will still need to deal with the n peak width issue at
|
|
80
|
higher -t
|
|
81
|
|
|
82
|
4) maybe it's experimental background that needs to be removed?
|
|
83
|
- Alicia showed plots both with and w/o HGC cut
|
|
84
|
- Garth: HGC cut will create an inefficient zone in Focal Plane, but no leak
|
|
85
|
through, as it's a greater-than cut
|
|
86
|
- Alicia: since analyzing only region near n peak, was not planning to
|
|
87
|
include a HGC cut in final analysis
|
|
88
|
- GH: yes that's probably fine, but for a systematics check, we should
|
|
89
|
calculate the asymmetry both with and without the HGC cut
|
|
90
|
- Richard and Alicia will discuss PID cut systematics offline
|

-----
|
|
94
|
Hodo Time Walk corrections
|
|
95
|
- redid 3.8 GeV, GH asked him to check a few runs in 2.9, 4.9 GeV, to be sure
|
|
96
|
all is okay with the new calibs
|
|
97
|
- waiting for replays to finish
|
|

Nathan
|
|
100
|
------
|
|
101
|
- working on the the implementation of Junaid's new DC param files, to build on
|
|
102
|
that for the next full replay
|
|
103
|
- fighting GIT on new parameter updates
|
|
104
|
- learned a lot about GIT in the last few days
|
|
105
|
- needed to make ~200 new param files
|
|
106
|
- still have to modify standard.database to point to them, and test
|
|
107
|
|
|
108
|
- it sounds like it would be a good idea to make a new 2024 branch of PionLT
|
|
109
|
and KaonLT after full replay completed
|
|
110
|
|
|
111
|
Junaid
|
|
112
|
------
|
|
113
|
- Pushed the latest updates for Drift chamber calibration.
|
|
114
|
- For the next step, discussed with Ali on the Report Files for the computation
|
|
115
|
of the efficiencies
|
|
116
|
- setting up report files for COIN data
|
|
117
|
- updating cuts for efficiencies, compared to online values
|
|
