------
|
|
21
|
- presented draft u-channel slides for next Wednesday's Hall A/C talk
|
|
22
|
- plan to have preliminary LT-sep plots for the presentation fell through
|
|
23
|
- Dave will send links to other Hall C VCS experiments
|
|
24
|
|
|
25
|
- Hall C 12 GeV VCS result:
|
|
26
|
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05248-1
|
|
27
|
- it is backward angle, but doesn't go all the way to 180 degrees in the
|
|
28
|
center of mass. It seems to focus on the area around ~140 deg
|
|
29
|
|
|
30
|
- the recent run this year was for the VCS-2 experiment. The proposal for that is at:
|
|
31
|
https://misportal.jlab.org/mis/physics/experiments/viewProposal.cfm?paperId=1102
|
|
32
|
- it has similar theta-cm coverage.

New KaonLT Q2=3.0 W=2.32 Results
|
|
37
|
- Data/MC yield ratios ~0.9-1.25, based on empirical (linear or quadratic) fit
|
|
38
|
of background in Lambda region
|
|
39
|
- fits background left and right of Lambda peak
|
|
40
|
- area underneath Lambda peak is not subtracted
|
|
41
|
- *NB* Garth/Tanja: need to interpolate the background underneath the Lambda
|
|
42
|
from left and right regions and subtract it too
|
|
43
|
- plots of Data vs MC for kinematic variables look pretty good
|
|
44
|
- sig_uns: sig_loeps very close to sig_hieps
|
|
45
|
- L/T results: sigT ~228, sigL ~15, very different than Richard's results which
|
|
46
|
had significant sigL
|
|
47
|
- not unreasonable to assume that high sigL in Richard's results was due to
|
|
48
|
pi+ background leaking into K+ yield
|
|
49
|
- yields also differ from Richard's by 2x, this needs more investigation
|
|

Richard
|
|
52
|
-------
|
|
53
|
KaonLT - looking more carefully at background subtraction
|
|
54
|
- investigating Garth's suggestion about using the piDelta region to scale the
|
|
55
|
pion background subtraction in cases where pi+n region is too poorly
|
|
56
|
populated to be reliable
|
|
57
|
- considering an event-by-event weight to scale background, based on both pi+n
|
|
58
|
and piDelta regions
|
|
59
|
- will run SIMC for pi+Delta0 generation shortly
|
|
60
|
- Garth suggests contacting Ali for his SIMC files, since he already ran this
|
|
61
|
generator for his studies
|
|
62
|
|
|
63
|
Junaid
|
|
64
|
------
|
|
65
|
- back now from Pakistan
|
|
66
|
- working on slides for JLUO and CAP Congress presentations
|

Nathan

|

|
PionLT Q2=5.0 setting
|
|
71
|
- found an error in SIMC input file, P_shms was too wrong by 2 GeV/c, which
|
|
72
|
could explain anomalous SIMC results for that setting
|
|
73
|
|
|
74
|
PionLT Q2=6.0 W=3.19 setting
|
|
75
|
- yields for Left-Center-Right SHMS at same epsilon still don't make sense
|
|
76
|
- Left yield is ~10x Center
|
|
77
|
- High epsilon Right yield is over-subtracted
|
|
78
|
- compare to online analysis plots:
|
|
79
|
- Center yield was ~2x Left yield
|
|
80
|
- Low eps, Mid eps, High eps ratios all made sense
|
|
81
|
- still investigating why he can't get similar results to online analysis
|
|
82
|
- *NB* Garth suggests to compare charge per run between online and his
|
|
83
|
analysis, to see if that narrows down where the problem might lie

KaonLT Q2=0.5 LT-sep
|
|
98
|
- working on systematic uncertainty studies
|
|
99
|
- finished Data yields w/ cut variation
|
|
100
|
- still waiting on jobs for SIMC yields w/ cut variation
|
|
101
|
- modifying scripts for syst study, additional plots, etc.
|
|
102
|
- goal is to compute sig_uns for each cut variation

MC Ratio applicability studies
|
|
107
|
- Nathan sent a question by eail, to which they responded
|
|
108
|
|
|

|
PionLT LD2 Lumi studies
|
|
112
|
|
|
113
|
Scaler yields
|
|
114
|
- replayed 7.9 LD2 boiling study, scaler yield
|
|
115
|
- combined HMS scaler scans for 6.4, 9.2-1, 9.2-2, 7.9 beam energies
|
|
116
|
- obtain a combined slope of -3.37 +/- 0.35 %/100uA
|
|
117
|
- *NB* to obtain the systematic uncertainty, Nathan took the standard deviation
|
|
118
|
of the different scans, and subtracted the statistical uncertainties (in
|
|
119
|
quadrature) to get the remaining systematic
|
|
120
|
|
|
121
|
Tracked yields, 6.4 GeV beam energy, where EDTM should be reliable
|
|
122
|
- black points = 6.4 tracked yields up to 80uA
|
|
123
|
- blue points = 6.4 scaler yields, where the highest 80uA point was removed
|
|
124
|
because the ELLT will be unreliable since rate was >200kHz
|
|
125
|
- combined slope: -3.383 +/- 0.349 %/100uA, so consistent with scaler analysis
|
|
126
|
|
|
127
|
Relative HMS Tracked yields
|
|
128
|
- this study needs to use unstable CPULT calculated from equation
|
|
129
|
- black points = 6.4 using TLT from EDTM
|
|
130
|
- red,green = 9.2-1, 9.2-2 using ELLT*CPULT
|
|
131
|
- the different sets are inconsistent @ 2.5% level, indicating there is
|
|
132
|
probably an extra systematic on CPULT of ~2.5%
|
|
133
|
|
|
134
|
Relative SHMS yields
|
|
135
|
- needed to keep all runs below 600kHz, if applied same 200kHz criterion as for
|
|
136
|
HMS, there would be too little data remaining for a scan
|
|
137
|
- scaler yields
|
|
138
|
black = 6.4
|
|
139
|
red = 9.2-1
|
|
140
|
green = 9.2-2
|
|
141
|
blue = 7.9
|
|
142
|
- the data sets are consistent with a lot of scatter between them, presumably
|
|
143
|
since >200kHz data are used
|
|
144
|
- the 7.9 setting was not used in Nathan's Lumi study because of a
|
|
145
|
mis-communication between himself and Junaid
|
|
146
|
|
|
147
|
Next steps:
|
|
148
|
- found a LD2 physics setting where the current varied from 20 to 60uA
|
|
149
|
- will use this as a CoinLumi study
|
|
150
|
- will try applying the boiling correction determined from scalers, as well
|
|
151
|
as other corrections, to see if the yields are flat vs current
|
