High Q2 KaonLT LT-separations
22
- found a bug affecting the pion subtraction undertainty
23
  - uncertainty propagated correctly now
24
  - pion subtraction also improved a bit, some bins were over-subtracted, which
25
    explained some bad phi bins in ratio plots
26

    
27
- made a new method of doing Rosenbluth fits
28
  - was hitting fit bounds before
29
  - earlier fits imposed a boundary condition sigL,sigT>0
30
  - now derived a better constrained fit using Cauchy-Schwarz inequality
31
    - baked the positivity constraint into the fit itself
32
    - model is now pushed out of unphysical local minima
33
    - uses Drechsel-Tiator J.Phys.G paper available at
34
      https://maid.kph.uni-mainz.de/JPhysG18/JPhysG18.pdf
35
      - uses rhoLT=|sigLT|/sqrt(sigT*sigL)<1.0
36
             rhoTT=|sigTT|/sigT<1.0
37
    - copy of Richard's derivation of relation at
38
      https://redmine.jlab.org/attachments/2878
39

    
40
- now using much simpler functional forms for Q2=4.4
41
  - sigL=(p1*ft)*exp(-p2*|t|)
42
    sigT=p5/(|t|^p6)*exp(-p7*|t|)
43
    sigLT,sigTT also simpler, have no sin(theta*) terms yet
44
  - did 20 iterations with new forms
45
    - ratios much closer to 1 now, some evidence of oscillations so might
46
      restore the sin(theta*) in LT,TT
47
    - Q2,W,t,MM plots
48
      - MC:data disagreement worse for left SHMS than center at low epsilon
49
        similar is true at high epsilon
50
    - initial results:  sigL~20%*sigT  sigLT~sigTT
51

    
52
- investigating other settings
53
  - need to adjust pion subtraction
54
  - Q2=3.0,W=3.14 left SHMS SIMC at both low and high epsilon has a shift in MM
55
    peak compared to data
56
  - still has to do HGC PID pt-pt systematics, currently estimates ~3.6% unc
57

    
58
- mentions some difficulty running SIMC for very large #events
59
  - Garth: you can modify SIMC to use a random seed that you specify rather
60
    than the default one, in which case you can break a big SIMC job into
61
    smaller parts, provided eacn one uses a different random seed
62

    
63
- Nacer asks for a copy of Richard's sig_unsep files, would like to check if he
64
  gets similar Rosenbluth fit to Richard
65
  - Richard's data at
66
    /lustre24/expphy/volatile/hallc/c-kaonlt/trottar/OUTPUT/Analysis/KaonLT/cache_transfer/kaon/Q4p4W2p74/Trial_20/
67
  - this is where all runs are for Q2=4.4 for the plots. Run
68
    2025June26_H07M55S23 (i=20) are where the plots are from. In
69
    2025June26_H07M55S23/xsects are the separated and unseparated cross section
70
    values
71
  - 2025June26_H07M55S23/parameters/par.pl_Q44W274.dat is my parameterization
72
    and 2025June26_H07M55S23/functions/Q4p4W2p74.model is my model

Q2=0.5 KaonLT LT-separations
77
- setting up framework
78
- for Rosenbluth fit, using python curve_fit
79
  https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.curve_fit.html
80
  - compared to GH's L/T/LT/TT values obtained with PHYSICA, gets same central
81
    values, hasn't compared the errors yet
82
  - sigL is negative for most t-bins, but no iterations have been done yet,
83
    this was with default Koltenuk model and ratios R~2
84
- working on parameter iteration script
85

KaonLT BSA analysis
89
- added dummy subtraction
90
- updated t-binning based on sum of Left, Center, Right SHMS settings, not just
91
  Center
92
  - now has ~60k events/bin
93
- simplified fit clearly makes more sense than full fit, which overfits the
94
  fluctuations in the data
95
- extracted mean kinematics per t-bin
96
  - *NB* Garth suggests to cross-check both the mean kinematics and the yields
97
    per t-bin with Nacer's, in the region where they overlap
98
- also looked at higher Q2 K+ BSA
99
  - Q2=2.1 and Q2=3.0,W=2.32 have good statistics, BSA looks fairly promising
100
  - Q2=4.4,5.5 statistics too poor to have much of a result
101
  - hasn't looked yet at Q2=3.0,W=3.14 setting
102
