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
48

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

Vijay
71
-----
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

    
78
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
84

    
85
Junaid
86
------
87
- no report, working on JSA Fellowship application
88

91
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
96
