Update on Q2=0.425 analysis
17
- new plots with full statistics replay
18
  - CoinTime for 3 epsilon settings
19
  - Diamond Cuts slightly revised from last time
20
  - t-binning:
21
    - choose 7 bins, lowest 0.007-0.013, 0.013-0.016, ...
22
    - range is similar to Q2=0.375
23
    - about 42k events/bin totaled over 3 epsilons
24
      - lowest epsilon has 5.6-8.3k per bin
25

Richard
27
-------
28
Can't attend, submits written report
29
- checked eps_n_theta.f in calc_xsect.f to be sure correct masses are used
30
  - this is follow up to inquiry by GH that thetacm seemed very large (up to
31
    60deg) for higher t-bins
32
  - so thetacm must really be this big
33

    
34
- higher Q2 fitting
35
  - found a better function for sigT,TT which fixes the fits
36
  - Q2 and W distributions look good now but high t is a bit off
37
  - ratios also look good, Chi2<3 for all fits, so just trying to figure out
38
    what's going on with high t
39

    
40
- Tanja will set up a meeting between RT, PM, GH to discuss strategy for the
41
  first K+ publication, strong desire to submit something by this fall
42

    
43
Alicia
44
------
45
Proton absorption Geant4 simulation
46
- fixed problem giving weird electron absorption values
47

    
48
BSA PLB
49
- Haiyan Gao is our editor, paper status says out for review
50

    
51
u-Channel
52
- replaying u-channel data and working on u-channel models in SIMC
53
- more detiled report to follow
54

    
55
Ali

57
Thesis submitted to internal committee for final review before going to
58
External Examiner
59
- next steps:
60
  - will look again at t-binning, with goal to increase #bins for higher
61
    statistics settings
62
  - would also like to do unseparated pi+Delta0/pi+n yield ratio at high
63
    epsilon, integrated over phi
64
    - avoid phi binning because of very limited statistics, will need to do
65
      some systematic checks on phi-modulation integration to zero
66
      since not fitting TT, LT
67
    - no diamond cut (hence no L/T-sep) to avoid loss of statistics
68
  - plan would be for paper to include both BSA and pi+Delta0/pi+n ratio at
69
    high epsilon, since theory is so uncertain now that BSA data by themselves
70
    are an insufficient constraint, need an observable linked to yield
71
    - Tanja suggests to get some theory input on this strategy before
72
      proceeding, so that we are sure it will have impact
73

    
74
Nacer
75
-----
76
KaonLT Q2=0.5 t-binning
77
- Lambda: 7 bins, from 0.065<-t<0.165
78
  - ~15k events per bin at each epsilon
79
- Sigma: 7 bins, from 0.095-0.205
80
  - ~7k events per bin at each epsilon
81

    
82
- Vijay: since some of the t bins are quite narrow, suggests to confirm the
83
  t-resolution using SIMC (i.e. t-ti)
84
  - for his pi+ data, t resolution sigma=0.001697
85
- Garth: suggest that both Nacer and Vijay make t-phi plots, to confirm that
86
  there is full phi coverage at one epsilon over the selected t-range
87

Nathan
89
------
90
Plan is to wrap up PionLT Lumi analysis ASAP
91
- LH2 boiling correction looks good
92
- will apply this to COIN Lumi data and look for any residual rate dep
93
- applying DM ELLT correction in cases where EDTM not applicable
94
- aim is to see if there is any residual rate dependence that needs, if small
95
  an additional systematic error to be assigned, or if large then to be
96
  corrected
97
- will write up a report on the final results, which can be included in thesis
98

    
99
Junaid
100
------
101
- pass 3 replay of all PionLT data done and archived
102
- finalizing checks before starting LT-separation
103
  - checking PID and other cuts, preparing dummy and random subtractions
104
    - Tanja: has cut dependence been studied yet?
105
      - yes, this was studied already last fall
106
  - Diamond cuts, t-phi binning to be decided
107
