* Status: %{background:yellow}Ongoing%
h3. Luminosity
* Richard/Ali/Vijay
* Carbon luminosity scans versus current and rate
** Need to check if the various luminosity scans give consistent results. HMS singles: partially done by Richard SHMS singles: partially done by Richard. All students need to repeat this work, particularly with new version of hcana.
* Need to check if the various luminosity scans give consistent results
* Peter Bosted has looked in detail at our data, leading to significant improvements to hcana. We need to repeat his studies for ourselves
* Status %{background:yellow}Ongoing%
h2. +On deck+
h3. Check stability of cointime peak
* ???
* In Fpi-2 it drifted with TDC temperature and needed to be adjusted on a run-by-run basis to within 200 ps.
* Initial checks so far indicate the peak is stable. Cointime resolution will be poorer in fall 2018 run due to DAQ cabling issue. Mark has partial software fix that we need to be sure is implemented.
* Status %{background:orange}On deck%
h3. Elastics
* Richard/Ali/Vijay
* Initial Heepcheck offset fitting to get corrected E, E', theta'.
* Status %{background:orange}On deck%
h3. Initial ep elastic cross-section checks
* Richard/Ali/Vijay
* Singles cross-sections, HMS and SHMS. SHMS delta scans (only peak position checked so far, stability of normalized yield ratio not yet checked). Coin ep cross-sections.
* In Fpi-2, determing the correct proton absorption correction for normalized required some literature review and other digging.
* Status %{background:orange}On deck%
h3. Heepcheck offsets
* ???
* Check that Heepcheck offsets produce consistent p(e,e'K+)L, p(e,e'pi+)n p(e,e'p)omega missing masses.
* Status %{background:orange}On deck%
h3. First iteration of cross section
* Status %{background:orange}On deck%
h2. +Completed+
h2. +Replays+
h3. FULL REPLAY 1 of data, with new calibrations. Status %{background:yellow}Ongoing%
* This replay should include all new kinematic offsets, better timing and PID calibrations, as well as Mark's most recent HMS and SHMS matrix elements.
* Quality control rechecks with new replay:
** carbon luminosity scans are flat vs. current and rate
** LH2 luminosity scans are flat vs. current and rate
* HMS saturation corrections?
* Final investigation of SHMS acceptance, optimize acceptance cuts based on sieve-slit run analysis, agreement with single-arm MC.
** Compare data and simulation plots of SHMS yfp,ypfp for various ytar,delta bins to identify inconsistencies.
* Trigger blocking studies.
** Are extra factors needed to correct for missing FADC reference times, or any other DAQ related effects? Initial info from Peter Bosted indicates this is likely to be the case.
* Recheck Heep singles and coin yields to identify and fix problems.
* Stability checks. Need some scripts to look at invariant mass vs run number, etc., for pi+/K+/p channels.

** Final SIMC ntuple generation using final parameters.

* OBTAIN:
** Separated cross-section results.
** Form factor determination begins. Model systematic error tests. Use more than one model, if at all possible.
** Model dependence and other issues in form factor extraction.
*Begin thesis writing, drafts of first papers*
