21
Writing Lumi analysis script for PionLT
22
- modifying script from Richard, which always assumed an active HMS and SHMS
23
  trigger for each run, as some PionLT Lumi scans were single arm only
24
- had to make similar edits earlier for CoinLumi script, so confident of the
25
  needed changes
26
- edits made, still testing
27

    
28
Script for plots for SHMS NIM paper
29
- started to modify old plotting script
30
- looked briefly so far at the draft NIM paper text
31
- once the plotting code has been run, will look up needed details for the
32
  paper
33

Junaid

36
PionLT efficiency studies
37
- investigating outlier runs identified last week, about 30 runs in total
38
- will make some decisions soon on which runs to discard
39
- then will post efficiency slides on RedMine
40

43
SIMC resolution study
44
- on hold until Alicia finishes HMS delta-correction study
45

    
46
Setting up for pi+n LT-analysis
47
- replayed 3 of 5 settings so far (both epsilons)
48
  - of these, analysis completed for 2 of 3 settings
49
  - will give Richard clean pi+n data for subtraction
50

    
51
- updated SIMC w/ physics_iterate.f model
52
  - compared to Vijay's code, almost identical except for different Q2-settings
53

    
54
- looking at Richard's LT-sep scripts, hoping to have some initial ratios soon
55

    
56
Info re HGC cut issue
57
- no HGC cut intended to be used for pi+n analysis, get a small K+L leakage,
58
  but in MM region well above pi+n
59
  - this means pi+n analysis will also not need an HGC efficiency to be applied
60
  - on the other hand, pi+Delta0 region is affected by K+L leakage, and will
61
    need an HGC cut as well as an HGC efficiency to be applied
62
- the pi+ sample for Richard will not have an HGC cut applied
63
  - will give skimmed ROOT files w/o HGC cut to RT, he will have to apply the
64
    HGC cut before subtracting pi+ leakage sample from K+ data
65

    
66
Richard
67
-------
68
Comparing SIMC model to preliminary data
69
- looked at 4 of 6 settings (including Q2=0.5)
70
  - Q2=0.5 has lots of issues that he will flag for Nacer to eventually look at
71
  - standard.kinematics issues:
72
    - need to confirm that CoinTime offset is set correctly for EVERY run
73
    - SHMS_RF_Offset was also not set for some low Q2 runs
74

    
75
Initial look at Q2=2.115, W=2.95
76
- all LT, TT terms set to zero for now in model
77
- sigL model: adjusted exp(|t|-0.2) factor to exp(|t|+0.2), seems to give more
78
  stable ratios vs t
79
- sigT model: compared p5+p6*log(Q2) with alternative p5*log(Q2)+p6/Q4
80

    
81
- also compared to Tanja's global K+ analysis in PRC 85, 018202 (2012)
82
  - checked W-factor and sigT models in this paper
83
  - W dependence: tried changing W-factor=1/(W2-Mp2)^2 to 1/(W2-Mp2)^3
84
    - Tanja's paper has the power as 2.5
85
  - when changing the W-factor, found that the sig_UNS expt error bars changed
86
    a lot, which should have not happened
87
    - this indicates a coding error that needs fixing
88

    
89
- then tried sigT=p5/(1+p6*Q2) and old W-factor
90
  - manually changing p5 from 120 to 25 gave better ratios
91
  - doing things by hand right now, instead of using MINUIT to get new params
92

    
93
Initial look at Q2=3.0, W=3.4
94
- same procedure, changing sigT and sigL factors
95
- lowering sigT p5 param improves ratios, just as at Q2=2.115
96

    
97
- *WARNING* data have NO MM-cut applied at all, not only do the exp yields
98
  contain pi+ and proton leakthrough, they also include all K+ contributions
99
  from inclusive spectrum above Lambda peak
100
  - right, now sees a weird phi Left-Right asymmetry in the data
101
  - the experimental yields will CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY once Richard has a clean
102
    sample
103

    
104
- Ali offers to generate for Richard also a clean proton sample for subtraction
105

    
106
Initial look at Q2=3.0, W=2.32
107
- looked at using W-factor with ^3 exponent
108
- getting negative sigL for lowest -t bin, CAVEATS in data as above
109

    
110
Compared initial results vs x_B
111
- early indications that a systematic change in the model vs x_B will be
112
  needed, will be interesting if this holds up in more thorough analysis
113

    
114
GH: as a reminder, we will eventually have to look again at the residual
115
  Q2-dependence of the Heep-Coin ratios, and resolve this issue before we can
116
  finalize the data and publish
117
  - this should happen after Richard graduates
118

    
119
Alicia
120
------
121
Implementing HMS delta-correction, hsdelta_NEW=hsdelta-p0*hsxpfp
122
- took MM calc from Richard's reconstruction script and implemented calc for
123
  data
124
- as a check, compared new MM calc w/p0=0 to old MM calc
125
  - overall very similar, but a slight difference between them
126
  - plot difference in #events vs Mx, most pi+n events within +/-2 MeV compared
127
    to old MM calc
128
- best guess is that there is some rounding error difference in the HMS
129
  momentum calc compared to hcana when applying offsets
130
  - GH: as a coding check, can try comparing old and new MM w/o offset
131

    
132
- then applied Dave's p0 values and compared the old-new data
133
  - MM gets wider instead of narrower, something still seems wrong
134
  - GH: suggest to make a plot of hsdelta_NEW vs hsxpfp to see what kind of
135
    correlation you get, should be a straight vertical band if applied
136
    correctly
137
  - Alicia will send her script to Richard for review
138

    
139
Nacer
140
-----
141
Low Q2 KaonLT calibs
142
- finished DC and Hodo timewalk calcs
143
  - pull request to GitHub was accepted
144
- did a full replay, including all of Ali and Richard's improvements
145

    
146
- plot of EDTM vs Coin_trig_rate
147
  - sees sharp drop off above 2.7kHz trig rate, as expected, due to buffered
148
    mode data acquisition (good news)
149
- plot of COIN_CPULT vs COIN_trig_rate
150
  - similar behavior, looks good
151
- plots of HMS(e), SHMS(pi) SING_TRK_Eff vs S1X hodo rate
152
  - no HMS outliers
153
  - a few SHMS outliers that need investigation
154

    
155
To Do:
156
- check other plots
157
- move to K+ PID
158
- also should get Lumi scripts from Richard and look at Low-Q2 Lumi scans
159
