** PID efficiency script is coming together
134
*** Tighter cuts and cuts on timing, beta, etc. will be needed for cleaner electron cuts
135
*** Hcal cut should be changed to cut around the mean normalized value instead of cutting above or below it only. This will assure electrons aren't lost.

157
** Fixed one error issue with SHMS calorimeter calibration code (discussed Dec 10th meeting), but still have one error
158
** PID efficiency script plots are complete, but still some questions he needs to work out before a final version
159

171
* Garth and Stephen were in the most recent SIDIS meeting
172
** Wit had lots of hcana changes but they seem to be critical to our work 
173
*** Changes such as new detector classes
174 1 Richard Trotta
** Hopefully Wit will present these in the next commissioning meeting
175
176 77 Richard Trotta
* Stephen improved wiggles but still prevalent
177 74 Richard Trotta
178
* Richard finished HGCer calibrations, he concluded that the online parameters are sufficient
179
** He also has been looking at SHMS calorimeter calibrations but has had issues running the scripts. Most likely a pathing issue.
180
** The "tasks":https://redmine.jlab.org/projects/kltexp/wiki/Analysis_Tasks page has been updated with a section for efficiencies. 
181
*** A PID efficiency script is currently being developed and hopefully should have some plots for our next meeting.

* Stephen
192
** DC SHMS, small-angle has poor performance
193
*** Tighter cuts or PID (currently only looks for electrons)
194

195
196
* Richard
197 1 Richard Trotta
** The calibrations are nearing completion with only the HG Cherenkov and SHMS calorimeter yet to be finished. There are also smaller issues with some DC and HMS calorimeter runs.
198 71 Richard Trotta
*** Richard will pick up looking at the HGCer calibrations from Vijay's scripts. 
199
*** Richard will also be looking at the SHMS calorimeter and with the suggestion of getting some negatively polarized SHMS runs from Hem.
200
** The HMS Cherenkov is finished with the conclusion that the calibrations from the online runs are good
201
** We can begin looking forward towards efficiencies. 
202
*** Garth suggested that looking at PID may be an advantageous first steps. Precise definitions of these PIDs will need to be logged.
203
*** Clear notes on efficiencies steps will be needed. They will need to be redefined multiple times in multiple ways. 
204
205
* Hem
206
** Has been looking at the calorimeter as well. 
207 70 Richard Trotta
** He has seen the second band in the spectra for some runs, we suggested further looks into HMS hodoscope and subsequently reference times. A recalibration will need to be performed.

* Stephen
220
** Issues with DC calibration for only a few runs during each run period
221
** "wiggles" in HMS calorimeter calibrations for some runs
222
*** few runs where HMS cal totally failed (which was dependent on initial parameters)
223
*** Spring looked worse than the rest (surprisingly), but this may be because online calibration wasn't great

* Timing update (Stephen)
232
** Reference times between Richard and Stephen are very similar and the GitHub is updated accordingly
233
** Richard is going to add the trigger time cuts once the fall runs are finished (by end of week)
234
** First pass of detector reference time parameter files finished
235 1 Richard Trotta
236 68 Richard Trotta
* Peter's hcana code (Richard and Stephen)
237
** Peter's code does not remove ghost bands (already known), but now Stephen is seeing a strang horizontal band for just SHMS hodoscope 2D plots
238
*** Richard has emailed Peter about the issue with no response yet (follow-up soon)
239
** This means we still need the reference time amplitude cut with Peter's code but using just the amplitude cut with Mark's latest version of hcana should be sufficient for calibrations.
240
241
* Calibrations were decided to be done once per shift
242
243
* Next meeting schedule...
244 127 Richard Trotta
** Small meetings Nov 12 and Nov 19 (at 3pm EST) so Richard and Stephen can iron out the timing and calibrations
245
** November 26 (at 3pm EST) will be a larger meeting. 
246 68 Richard Trotta
*** This is the rough deadline we made for finishing up calibrations. 
247
*** This should be sufficient for all detectors (although hodoscope and HG which may persist). The ultimate goal is for all calibrations to be finished up before Winter break!!

* SHMS Reference Time Amplitude Cuts(Stephen)
256
** Extra peaks in HG from cross-talk and "ghost-bands" due to ADC screw up
257
*** cuts applied on SHMS ADC ref time amplitude (greater than zero) done before any further event selection and histogram filling
258
** This is a temporary fix to "ghost-bands" and cross talk
259
*** Although for HG there is still a small peak. The hodoscope is fine.
260
** The time window is easier to set now.
261
** DC has been fine (since it uses TDC)
262
*** DC calibrations should be good to complete, other detectors need more fixes (i.e. the remaining "ghost-band")
263
** Hodoscope still bad but this might be because of that "ghost-band", needs to be further investigated
264
265 1 Richard Trotta
* Peter's hcana fixes for reference time (Richard)
266 67 Richard Trotta
** Peter implemented changes to hcana
267
** Two major issues...
268 1 Richard Trotta
## Amplitude goes to null and integral is low or negative which causes a rate-dependent efficiency. 
269 67 Richard Trotta
*** Peter has used the average pulse value acquired over a large sample of runs for each detector. 
270 1 Richard Trotta
## Timing offset between EL-REAL and 3/4 is 130 ns which causes junk tracks at high SHMS rates (~6% of the time)
271 67 Richard Trotta
*** Peter created a routine to find the best offset by means of matching TDC and ADC
272
** Richard has been checking for bugs in the code. 
273
*** It seems to be ready to implement, Richard emailed Peter for confirmation on the implementation in our group directory
274
275 1 Richard Trotta
* Calibration of HMS detectors when the timing is agreed upon by Stephen and Richard.
276 67 Richard Trotta
** Besides hodoscope which still has an issue with the script
277 65 Richard Trotta
** Stephen and Richard are having a meeting late next week to determine time window values
278 62 Richard Trotta
*** These will be relatively final, but on the wider side if adjustments need to be made in the future

414
* Richard
415
** Discussed with Mark Jones and is cross checking his January luminosity scan analysis against Mark's. Realized that BCM calibrations (gains, offsets etc) are different - currently working on fixing that, presents current results - low curent point is ~10% below unity, discussion that this seems to indicate that BCM offsets are the issue as low current points would be most sensitive, is planning to also double-check the BCM calibration procedure - had discussion with Dave Mack at JLab
416
** Presents a script developed for luminosity scans that determines yields for a run number input on command line. Discussion this could be good to adapt for kaon counting during experiment.

* Luminosity Scans January 2018 (Richard)
456
** Tracking-based analysis for Runs 1415-1423, .. for now focus on HMS, typical HMS S1X rates are <
457
** Cuts applied: PID for electrons (Cer, Cal), acceptance (delta)
458
** Efficiency calculation was investigated in detail and applied using scalers from trees
459
** Results for carbon (normalized to 30uA) show large variation - need to understand
460
** *Next steps:*
461
*** Double check calculation of computer lifetime, look for differences in TRIG and PRETRIG scalers
462
*** Check stability of pre-scale (Ryan saw changes within runs)
463
*** Check if detector calibrations for runs are implemented correctly
464
*** Analyze with Ryan's cuts
465 1 Richard Trotta
466 35 Stephen Kay
* Luminosity Scans April 2018 (Ryan)
467
** Confirms Richard's earlier finding that scaler-based analysis is not reliable and that it's best to analyze event-by-event
468
** Tracking-based analysis for runs 2073-2095
469
** Cuts applied: PID for electrons (TOF, Cal, Chi2), acceptance (delta and angles), BCM4a
470
** Included most recent detector calibrations in replay of these runs
471
** Efficiencies from report file mainly, may need to update tracking efficiency implementation
472
** Found that calculations of computer deadtime requires different set of scalers for runs from January to those from April 2018
473
** Results show carbon yields consistent with unity within error (0.5% error bars), and boiling for hydrogen and deuterium
474
** *Next steps:*
475 5 Richard Trotta
*** Check tracking efficiency
476 35 Stephen Kay
477
* *Global comments on Luminosity Scans (so far)*
478 1 Richard Trotta
** April 2018 scans show hydrogen and deuterium target boiling on level of 3-4%, Carbon is consistent with no boiling, as expected - based on description, new targets are expected to have less boiling than those used previously, e.g. in FPI2. Double check this.
479 35 Stephen Kay
** Efficiencies in report files need to be updated, e.g. CPU deadtime (Richard)
480
** Check if BCM4a is the one closest to the target - get a map of the hall (Richard, Ryan)
481
** Uncertainties on current
482
** Detector calibrations
483 1 Richard Trotta
** HMS vs. SHMS

* eK+ coincidence time from SIDIS Spring 2018 run (Samip)
486
** Worked with Mark Jones on coincidence time calculation - now available in hcana (see Samip's 10 May 2018 email for more details)
487
** runs used in this analysis: 3423 with Q2=3.1 GeV2 and W=2.78 GeV
488
** Coincidence time spectrum shows peak separations >2 ns corresponding to different accelerator frequency
489
** Missing mass spectra: Kaon peak clearly visible, also see pions even after cuts
490
** Found that pions appear localized in phase space - seems to be due to end point in kinematic phase space
491 1 Richard Trotta
** *Next steps:*
492 2 Richard Trotta
*** Look for a run with kaon momentum closer to 3 GeV/c (aerogel threshold is ~3 GeV/c for kaons for n=1.015)
493 35 Stephen Kay
494
* Yield normalized ratios from SIDIS (Hem)
495
** Yield ratios of data to MC match well in shape, but normalization seems not quite right
496
** *Next steps:*
497 4 Richard Trotta
*** Check if efficiencies, currents, run time etc. are taken into account correctly

* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (earlier scan) - Richard
506
** Shown is a scaler-based analysis using scalers from report file and from ROOT tree - the values are different, why that is has to be checked
507
** Notes on efficiencies in report file:
508
*** DT (EDTM) is not electronic deadtime. Instead use for now 50ns* trigger rate for HMS and 100ns* trigger rate for SHMS
509
*** Cherenkov efficiency seems low (check if that is due to PID, thresholds, pi/e, etc)
510
*** Tracking efficiency needs to be checked
511
*** 3/4 trigger efficiency seems ok
512
* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (later scan) - Ryan
513
** Fewer carbon runs than earlier scan
514
** Shown is a tracking-based analysis using data from the ROOT trees
515 111 Richard Trotta
** First results for carbon, LH3, and LD2, but efficiencies need to be checked
516 35 Stephen Kay
* SIDIS analysis - Hem
517
** Shown is a data/MC comparison for different kinematic settings. Agreement in shape is very good. Normalization has yet to be applied.
518
** Discussion about agreement in z and apparent offset - relation of this offset with spectrometer offset
519
* Analysis of exclusive events in SIDIS - Samip
520
** Shown is a look at the first kaon events in exclusive limit of SIDIS data
521
** Ongoing work on implementing coincidence time into tree
522
* Discussion of run plan, and in particular possible low Q2/low energy
523
** Assume that kaon low Q2=0.4 already included - have kinematics with specified beam energies, if needed
524
** For pion form factor and LT, have two possible settings that can use the prescribed beam energies: Q2=1.45 and 0.35 GeV2 - prioritize towards the higher Q2 as not as sensitive to offsets
525
** Garth will put this together in a draft email

*  Discussion of Andres' slides on elastic W calculation in hcana - initial issue with negative W values seems to be due to outdated information in standard.kinematics file. Additional investigation ongoing.
545
* Brief description of Samip's work - working on coincidence timing decoding with JLab staff and re-optimization of kinematics
546
* Discussion of Richard's slides on run plan kinematics and preparations -
547
** everyone agrees that in general want to have as many L/T cross section separations as possible in a robust run plan balancing statistics vs. systematics
548
** before actual run may want to do a 3D optimization in all kinematic variables to get the best possible delta(epsilon) for the L/T separations
549
** for each setting will need 1-2 shifts for calibrations - need to negotiate with other experiments in run group
550
** kinematics plots W-Q2 show that still need to do some optimization
551
** run sheets: include raster size, update coincidence count labeling, and carbon target labeling
