-------
16
KaonLT function fitting for LT separation -- short update from France
17
- wrote some scripts to fit each t-bin separately, and use the variation of
18
  parameters with #t-bin to see which function yields more consistent
19
  parameters, and hence is a better function to use
20
  - considering slight changes to sigT, sigL unchanged
21
  - using sigTT from Marco's thesis (was best in last report), sigLT unchanged
22
  - script does 2 iterations with each version
23
  - picks the one with best chi-square out of all functional forms, for each
24
    t-bin
25
  - loops over Q2=3.0,W=3.14 and Q2=4.4,W=2.74 settings for now
26

    
27
- still at France workshop next week, will show results in 2 weeks, expecting
28
  to see some improvements in ratios

31
------
32
Geant4 simulation for proton absorption correction
33
- just started setting up the code
34

    
35
Nacer
36
-----
37
Heep singles for KaonLT
38
- setting up SIMC for 4.9, 6.2, 8.2, 10.6 GeV settings
39
- selecting runs matching COIN data
40

    
41
- want to introduce Mark's tracking updates (see last meeting) before next
42
  replay
43

    
44
Junaid
45
------
46
PionLT pi+ PID
47
- updated CT offset to put peak at zero, also RF offset to put peak at 1
48
  - previously, the peak was slightly shifted, fixing this gives ~200 more
49
    pi+n events at Ebeam=5.98, 7.94 GeV settings
50

    
51
- in contact with Stephen re. TOF corrected RF time
52
  - code was pushed, but not merged into main branch
53

    
54
- very curious plot of piCT vs RF for one setting
55
  - strong correlation of piCT vs RF seen
56
    - is this expected, or an indication of an incorrect TOF correction?
57
    - GH thinks the tilt indicates CT peak could be made narrower by removing
58
      the correlation
59
  - Nathan skeptical whether TOF correction is worthwhile to look at
60
  - GH thinks it's worth a brief look, hopefully it's not a wild goose chase
61

    
62
Updated HMS optics
63
- new 6.5 GeV/c matrix elements implemented and pushed
64
- new 5.9, 6.1 GeV/c ME appear to be available
65

    
66
Aerogel efficiencies
67
- n=1.011 tray with >2.5pe cut gives 97.5% efficiency
68
  - Richard gets similar numbers
69
  - Ali shows a plot from his thesis, Aerogel efficiency vs Run# for all
70
    settings
71
    - efficiencies vary 98-100%
72

    
73
Nathan
74
------
75
PionLT Coin Lumi studies
76
- unfortunately no plots today, ran the wrong script by mistake
77

    
78
- will combine carbon and LH2 data for all singles settings to get more
79
  accurate boiling correction
80

    
81
Next Meeting

83
- Thur Nov 7 @ 16:30 Eastern/15:30 Regina
84
  - PionLT will go first
85
  - GH will be in Ottawa then, not sure if he can attend or not
