* Updates from the group
12 15 Stephen Kay
** Carlos
13
*** Previously looked at optimisation of kinematics for HeeP data
14
*** Document on "DocDB":https://hallcweb.jlab.org/DocDB/0010/001036/002/HC_SoftwareMeeting_Oct03_2019_pdf.pdf
15
*** Will revisit this and try to make some notes on code
16
** Stephen
17
*** No major updates, resolved some issues with scripts Jacob/Junaid were having
18
*** /group/c-pionlt now exists, will try to install hcana here with a more up to date version of root
19
*** Garth mentioned some changes to farm software, cmake, singularity, Jupyter - shouldn't affect us much
20
** Nathan
21
*** Combing hodo script DBase files, will try and update, including batch scripts
22
** Jacob 
23
*** Sanity checks of running old scripts and comparing to new
24
*** Should be in place to combine in new matrix elements soon
25
** Junaid
26
*** demo1 being slow, file probably too large
27
*** Farm also being slow could be an issue
28
** Ali
29
*** Sym link hardcoding, switch location of outputting
30
31
* Idea of a directory setup script, something people can run and it will set up a tree of directories to save files to
32
** Can try making a version of this later this week, will need to modify output of lots of scripts!

38
39
* Updates from the group
40
** Stephen - Tried to replicate errors Jacob was having with Demo2, could not replicate issues and didn't see any script differences
41
*** May be a versioning issue, Stephen and Richard will investigate further
42
*** JLab environment/root version issue likely cause
43
** Jacob - Questions about the pionlt directories, all but the /group/c-pionlt one seem to be set up
44
*** Stephen following up with Brad on this
45
** Junaid - Some environment issues
46
*** Stephen will try to resolve later today
47
** Casey - Gave an update on his timing window scripts
48
*** https://github.com/mrcmor100/hallc_replay_XEM/tree/timing
49
*** Scripts look very nice, compare timing windows to existing ones and upload plots to network accessible location
50
*** Stephen will take a look at how they can be adapted for our coincidence running
51 13 Stephen Kay
* HeeP running discussion
52 12 Stephen Kay
** Minimum accessible spectrometer angles - SHMS 5.5, HMS 10.5, opening angle ??
53
** Want higher for HeeP running for practicality (no hall access e.t.c.)

59
* Updates from the group
60
** Stephen - Cointime peak script updates and fixes
61
** Jacob - Issues with Demo2 cuts
62
*** Stephen thinks this may be due to lack of updating of the script after some changes Richard made, will investigate
63
** Nathan - Hodoscope script issues, tracked down to .database file. Investigating fixes
64
** Junaid - Software setup on Lark but python/root issues here, working on JLab account. Will investigate root compilation on Lark
65
*** Stephen raised that issue in getting root to compile isn't actually related to the python version used, other package/component causing issues
66
** Ali - Working on improving report files and def files
67
* "Casey Presentation":https://redmine.jlab.org/attachments/download/1175/pionLTgroup_presentation.pptx
68
** Discussion of process and software used by XEM experiment
69
** Nice reference time script in place, will exchange with Stephen/Richard and see what can be merged with each
70
** Structure and plan for analysis look similar to our own, will try to collaborate as much as possible on having a nice working set of software for online usage
71
** Raised point of online BCM/BPM monitoring
72
*** Dave mentioned it would be nice to track the stability of the BCM/BPMs over the run period, at least once per shift produce a plot/document checking this
73
*** Stephen added that this could also track the prescale factors (reported vs calculated)
74
*** Investigate idea of a once per shift script that checks last X runs and produces plots above

h2. 2021.01.25 PionLT Preparation Meeting
79
80
* Garth Discussed run plan kinematics, purpose of Heep runs, and Luminosity scans
81
** Homework: students should look at distributed Heep kinematics and try to find some sets of singles (e') and coin (e'+p) runs which would overlap either in energy or angle with the physics kinematics, for the purpose of establishing angle and momentum offsets.
82
** Jacob also looked through Garth's physics kinematics spreadsheet, and did not find any additional errors, beyond the one GH had already identified.  That error turned out to be an error in the kinematics table in the Jeopardy (2019) proposal, and GH subsequently distributed a corrected spreadsheet.
