PionLT luminosity scan analysis
22
- worked on getting Richard's Lumi script working
23
  - shows initial result of first lumi scan in 2021 (Carbon runs 12144-12151)
24
  - these runs have a BCM calib from Dave Mack
25
  - only 4 of 9 points shown, some plotting bug to fix
26
  - SHMS Rate up to 200 kHz, current up to 70uA
27
  - the 4 points so far look reasonable, but more work to be done
28
- Dave: what is "Relative Yield Scaler"?
29
  - probably is ELREAL scaler, but need to check
30
- will work on single arm Lumi scan after the script is better understood
31
  - that scan will require a BCM calibration, will check with Dave Mack

PionLT Heep analysis
36
- no plots to show this week
37
- ran SIMC for all HeepCOIN settings, will do fits for GH offset studies

Modifications to SIMC for pion scattering in SHMS collimator
42
- located Fpi-2 HMS collimator routine for implementing in SIMC
43
- Dave: SHMS collimator is 2.5 inches thick
44
- Stephen: docDB report on SHMS collimator:

piDelta BSA
50
- starting on 3 highest Q2, where no HMS delta-correction is needed
51

    
52
- MM shape study
53
  - SIDIS and RHO dists so similar, so will just use SIDIS
54
  - shows example fit using either just SIDIS or just RHO
55
    - SIDIS fits are a bit better than RHO
56
  - plots of fitting still in progress
57
  - running SIDIS MC for more statistics
58

    
59
- Q2=3.0, W=3.14 t-binning
60
  - this setting has enough statistics for 2 t-bins
61
  - can't use just SHMS center setting to determine binning, need to use L,R,C
62
    to get stats over full t-distribution
63
  - places a tight cut on piDelta MM region to get approximate statistics for
64
    binning without doing a background subtraction
65
  - will divide the t-dist at -t=0.425 for the 2 tins
66

    
67
- Ideas on Systmatic Error estimate for Delta fitting
68
  - Option 1: compare BSA using integration of Delta MC fit to data, to BSA
69
    determined from (Data-SIDIS-pi+n fits)
70
  - Option 2: compare BSA when varying the pi+n and SIDIS fits
71
    - fit pi+ at peak, or at just the tail (an extreme case)
72
  - Tanja: exactly what systematic are you trying to determine here?
73
    - GH: expecting the uncertainty from the Delta fitting to dominate over the
74
      MM cut dependence, since the Delta peak is not clean (unlike pi+n) it is
75
      not so obvious that we can disentangle the Delta fitting systematic from
76
      the MM integration region systematic
77
  - Dave: when fitting pi+n MC, do you fit to the height of the peak, or the
78
    integral within some MM region to be less sensitive?
79
    - Ali: fits just to the pi+n peak
80
    - Dave: try to fit integral within some FWHM (or other region) and get the
81
      integrals to agree instead
82
  - Tanja: trying a variety of different methods to understand how various
83
    effects may be correlated seems the best approach
84

HMS delta-correction in hcana
88
- hcana compilation issues
89
  - eventually got it to work after info from Stephen, Ole
90
- editing SpectrometerClass
91
  - found that Tanja's old Q3 correction (fSatCorr) is already implemented in
92
    code
93
  - kept that architecture, but added two new options for P_HMS=5.3, 6.5
94
- MM vs hsxpfp plots shown for:
95
  - P=6.59, Run 4873
96
    - if hsxpfp>0, hsdelta+=3.0 hsxpfp  -- LOOKS GOOD
97
  - P=5.29
98
    - if hsxpfp<0, hsdelta-=5.0 hsxpfp  -- OVERCORRECTS, 4.0 looks better
99
- running batch jobs for replaying these data
100
  - have "nearly final" BSA values for other three Q2 settings
101

    
102
Dedicated meeting to discuss BSA errors, for April 1 or 2

Low Q2 PionLT analysis
109
- no plots to show this week
110
- working on Data/MC ratio plots with only Central SHMS setting
111
  - encountered unexpected errors, still debugging
112
  - last week's plots with all SHMS settings are available on RedMine
113
- in addition, trying to understand MC iteration process
114

117
Low Q2 KaonLT PID studies
118
- no plots to show this week
119
- trying to get a good RF cut, other PID cuts are mostly ready
120
  - will try to reduce pi+n peak w/o cutting into Lambda/Sigma events
121
  - GH: once you decide on an RF cut, you will want to go back and recheck the
122
    other PID cuts as it will be a bit easier to distinguish small K+ from big
123
    pi+ sample
124
  - Nacer: if RF cut works really well, maybe won't need HGC cut, which would
125
    simplify other parts of analysis
126

SHMS NIM paper
130
- thanks to everyone for submitting plots for NIM paper
131
- has all of the needed plots now, will try to implement them soon
132

134
N*2024 Conference at York, June 14-21
135
- asked to give a 20 minute talk on meson form factors
136

137
- will distribute an abstract soon
