Nathan & Zach
20
-------------
21
iFarm issues, still dealing w/bugs related to ALMA9 migration, changes to
22
 Python syntax, etc.
23
- Richard is making updates to LTsep package for new hcana version
24
  - Richard's goal is to have everything working before Aug 20, when the last
25
    RH7 node disappears
26
- Junaid has posted isntructions on RedMine about ALMA9 setup
27

Richard
29
-------
30
- Gave a talk on Lumi analysis @ NPS meeting that you might want to look up

32

    
33
  - Dave also gave a talk on SIMC at this meeting you might find useful
34

35

    
36
- Suggested that Nathan give a talk on BCM Calibs @ Quarterly Analysis Meeting
37
  - Stephen has made a note of this.  The meeting is planned for early Sept.

KaonLT LT-separations
40
- changed functional forms (based on Fpi-2 experience)
41

    
42
  SigL=p1*QfacL*tpole*exp(-p6*|t|)
43
  where QfacL=Q2/(1+1.77*Q2+0.12*(Q2**2))
44
  - the 1.77, 0.12 factors are from Fpi-2, they would eventually have to be
45
    changed for KaonLT
46

    
47
  SigT=p5*QfacT*exp(-p8*|t|)
48
  where QfacT=exp(-(Q2**2))/Q2
49

    
50
  SigLT=p9/(1+Q2)*exp(-p10*|t|)
51
  SigTT=p13/(1+Q2)*exp(-p14*|t|)
52

    
53
- looking at Q2=3.0,W=3.14 with new functions
54
  - note that sigT has no t-dependence
55
  - *NB* ratios at low epsilon indicate that adding a t-dep to sigT would
56
    probably be helpful, maybe of the form (A+B*exp(-C*|t|))
57

Vijay
59
-----
60
- also dealing with ALMA9 issues, things are now working and doing replays for
61
  detection volume systematic uncertainty study
62
- tried changing functional form for LT, TT
63
  - oscillations in ratios did not change much
64
  - *NB* will need to try a different change to LT, TT, probably with a
65
    stronger t-dependence
66

    
67
Ali
68
---
69
- away last week in Quebec
70
- before he left, finished piDelta BSA analysis which Alicia showed in her talk
71
  - GH suggested that Ali show plots of asymmetry vs phi for all settings at
72
    next meeting
73

    
74
- BSA systematic uncertainty studies not yet done (mostly cut dependence)
75
  - GH had suggested to also do HGC-cut dependence study
76
    - would compare a tighter cut to nominal cut, not a looser one
77

    
78
- Need to inquire on status of piDelta theory calcs, none were yet available
79
  last year
80
  - will check first with Stefan Diehl if he is aware of any developments
81

    
82
Alicia
83
------
84
- summarized updates to pi+n BSA paper based comments from co-authors
85
  - CLAS-6 also showed Q2-dependence of BSA, but over a wide integrated x-range
86
    - theirs was primarily to show change in sign from t-channel to u-channel
87
  - need to clarify that ours is for specific xB, which is new
88
- also summarized PRL justification text and list of potential referees
89

    
90
- additional comments just received from B-G Yu, paper likely won't be
91
  submitted until week of July 29
92

Nacer

-----
95
KaonLT Heep yield comparison
96
- recently finished 6.2, 8.2 GeV
97
- earlier, had done 3.8, 4.9, with Data/MC ratios near 1
98
- 6.2 GeV ratios simiar to Richard, but 8.2 GeV ratios are somewhat different
99
- 8.2 GeV:
100
  - *NB* small issue with plotting script, ratios are not quite constant
101
  - Data/MC=1.127, while Richard had 1.28
102
  - appears to be good news, but we need to understand what's different
103
  - analysis uses a modified script based on Richard's old one
104
  - uses Richard's LH2 boiling correction
105

    
106
- still analyzing 10.6 GeV data
107
- *NB* will meet with Richard offline after both are done to compare numbers
108
  and see what's different
109
