Implementing Dave's HMS delta correction
|
|
22
|
- modified event reconstruction script to implement Dave's correction factor
|
|
23
|
delta_HMS(new) = delta_HMS(old) + C0*hsxpfp
|
|
24
|
|
|
25
|
Debugging Weight Iteration Script
|
|
26
|
- the script now works
|
|
27
|
- sigT model fit has some negative values due to improper fit parameters
|
|
28
|
- fit parameters were taken directly from pi+ analysis with no modification
|
|
29
|
- initial fit parameters give very small data/MC yield ratios, a lot of
|
|
30
|
modification will be needed
|
|
31
|
- debugging only, still have to finalize PID and efficiencies
|
|
32
|
|
|
33
|
SIMC output with physics_iterate.f
|
|
34
|
- some potential confusion of use of GeV^2 or MeV^2 in SIMC
|
|
35
|
- DG: not sure you have a units issue, maybe it's just that the
|
|
36
|
parameterization is way off
|
|
37
|
- GH: your SIMC should be in exactly the same units as physics_kaon.f, so you
|
|
38
|
can compare them to find orders of magnitude issues
|
|
39
|
- for example, you can compare MC yield/charge with SIMC event file
|
|
40
|
generated with physics_kaon.f, and also with your iteration script
|
|
41
|
- physics_kaon.f was used to generate projected yields for the KaonLT run
|
|
42
|
plan, should be within 2x of the actual data yields. Can use that
|
|
43
|
comparison to see what might be wrong
|
|
44
|
|
|
45
|
Next steps
|
|
46
|
- RT hopes to get back to finalizing PID and efficiencies soon, after the
|
|
47
|
remaining iteration script issues are dealt with

|
|
51
|
- no report, busy with thesis writing
|
|
52
|
|
|
53
|
Next steps
|
|
54
|
- will look at SIMC resolution tuning, to better match MM width between data
|
|
55
|
and MC after Dave's HMS delta correction
|
|
56
|
|
|
57
|
- Dave gives some info on how to do this modification:
|
|
58
|
- the relevant SIMC routines are in (s)hms/mc_(s)hms_hut.f
|
|
59
|
- DC resolutions are specified in a DATA statement
|
|
60
|
- should see how many % the data MM peak is wider than the MC peak and adjust
|
|
61
|
DC resolution by a similar percentage, hopefully the change you need to
|
|
62
|
make is not too drastic
|
|
63
|
- one issue might be to disentangle the separate resolution effects for
|
|
64
|
(S)HMS
|
|
65
|
- GH: hopefully they won't be too different, given that both spectrometers
|
|
66
|
have the same DC layout
|
|
67
|
- high/low epsilon data for a Q2,W setting have same SHMS but different HMS
|
|
68
|
momenta, so maybe that can be used to disentangle the effects
|

|
|
72
|
- leaves for India EIC workshop at Bangalore tomorrow, circulated draft slides
|
|
73
|
earlier this week
|
|
74
|
- completed 0-iteration checks of software
|
|
75
|
- get convergence of fit params for 1st iteration, will show results after
|
|
76
|
he's back
|
|
77
|

Nathan
|
|
79
|
------
|
|
80
|
- Julie and Charles have asked him for some information on how we determine
|
|
81
|
offsets and how we did our Lumi studies
|
|
82
|
- RT should expect to get some request for information from them
|
|
83
|
- hopes to have some time for analysis during RC quiet periods
|
|

|
------
|
|
87
|
- no report, working on JSA Fellowship application

Continuing DC calibs
|
|
92
|
- 50-60% of runs are replayed, lots of ifarm issues
|
|
93
|
- Stephen has also noticed a lot of job failure issues recently. There was a
|
|
94
|
big ifarm crash yesterday, please be sure you're subscribed to the scicomp
|
|
95
|
email list to get notices of ifarm outages
