2021.02.22 PionLT Software Meeting

  • Updates from the group
    • Garth
      • HeeP data discussion, one per beam energy
        • KaonLT and PionLT Phase I had nearly every beam energy setting
      • Updates about the new target config, phase II and III of PionLT likely going to have new target ladder
      • Thicker aluminium cans, CAD design done but not completely finalised, will know soon
      • KaonLT beamline will be used in 2021 run, new beamline for 2022 run
      • Start of run pushed back slightly, 2022 run will be May to December, PionLT might be slotted into parts of this
    • Stephen
      • Demo2 script fixed, bug was slightly stupid, run not in range but the script did not report this
        • Will look at tweaks to kaonlt.py to fix this
      • New hcana installed in pionlt area, used root 6.14.04, scons issue with newer root (6.18.04)
      • Will create setup scripts for use in migrating over to this area for working
      • Minor issue with /cache/c-pionlt directory, permissions related
  • Discussed plans and potential problems for upcoming run regarding COVID procedures, how many people can be on shift, how many people will travel and so on
  • Will need to shift meeting time in a few weeks due to daylight savings time change for some people

2021.02.15 PionLT Software Meeting

  • Updates from the group
    • Carlos
      • Previously looked at optimisation of kinematics for HeeP data
      • Document on DocDB
      • Will revisit this and try to make some notes on code
    • Stephen
      • No major updates, resolved some issues with scripts Jacob/Junaid were having
      • /group/c-pionlt now exists, will try to install hcana here with a more up to date version of root
      • Garth mentioned some changes to farm software, cmake, singularity, Jupyter - shouldn't affect us much
    • Nathan
      • Combing hodo script DBase files, will try and update, including batch scripts
    • Jacob
      • Sanity checks of running old scripts and comparing to new
      • Should be in place to combine in new matrix elements soon
    • Junaid
      • demo1 being slow, file probably too large
      • Farm also being slow could be an issue
    • Ali
      • Sym link hardcoding, switch location of outputting
  • Idea of a directory setup script, something people can run and it will set up a tree of directories to save files to
    • Can try making a version of this later this week, will need to modify output of lots of scripts!

2021.02.08 PionLT Software Meeting

  • Updates from the group
    • Stephen - Tried to replicate errors Jacob was having with Demo2, could not replicate issues and didn't see any script differences
      • May be a versioning issue, Stephen and Richard will investigate further
      • JLab environment/root version issue likely cause
    • Jacob - Questions about the pionlt directories, all but the /group/c-pionlt one seem to be set up
      • Stephen following up with Brad on this
    • Junaid - Some environment issues
      • Stephen will try to resolve later today
    • Casey - Gave an update on his timing window scripts
  • HeeP running discussion
    • Minimum accessible spectrometer angles - SHMS 5.5, HMS 10.5, opening angle ??
    • Want higher for HeeP running for practicality (no hall access e.t.c.)

2021.02.01 PionLT Software Meeting

  • Updates from the group
    • Stephen - Cointime peak script updates and fixes
    • Jacob - Issues with Demo2 cuts
      • Stephen thinks this may be due to lack of updating of the script after some changes Richard made, will investigate
    • Nathan - Hodoscope script issues, tracked down to .database file. Investigating fixes
    • Junaid - Software setup on Lark but python/root issues here, working on JLab account. Will investigate root compilation on Lark
      • Stephen raised that issue in getting root to compile isn't actually related to the python version used, other package/component causing issues
    • Ali - Working on improving report files and def files
  • Casey Presentation
    • Discussion of process and software used by XEM experiment
    • Nice reference time script in place, will exchange with Stephen/Richard and see what can be merged with each
    • 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
    • Raised point of online BCM/BPM monitoring
      • 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
      • Stephen added that this could also track the prescale factors (reported vs calculated)
      • Investigate idea of a once per shift script that checks last X runs and produces plots above

2021.01.25 PionLT Preparation Meeting


2021.01.12 PionLT Software Meeting

  • Stephen Presentation
    • Discussion of analysis tasks and status as of 12/01/21. The non-annotated version of the notes is also available here
    • Homework for next week is the following -
      • Setup and try the batch calibration scripts and the python analysis script demo
      • For Stephen - Check with Brad regarding new area for files
