** PID efficiency script is coming together
130
*** Tighter cuts and cuts on timing, beta, etc. will be needed for cleaner electron cuts
131
*** 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.

* Garth and Stephen were in the most recent SIDIS meeting
168
** Wit had lots of hcana changes but they seem to be critical to our work 
169
*** Changes such as new detector classes
170 1 Richard Trotta
** Hopefully Wit will present these in the next commissioning meeting
171
172 77 Richard Trotta
* Stephen improved wiggles but still prevalent
173 74 Richard Trotta
174
* Richard finished HGCer calibrations, he concluded that the online parameters are sufficient
175
** He also has been looking at SHMS calorimeter calibrations but has had issues running the scripts. Most likely a pathing issue.
176
** The "tasks":https://redmine.jlab.org/projects/kltexp/wiki/Analysis_Tasks page has been updated with a section for efficiencies. 
177
*** A PID efficiency script is currently being developed and hopefully should have some plots for our next meeting.

* Stephen
188
** DC SHMS, small-angle has poor performance
189
*** Tighter cuts or PID (currently only looks for electrons)
190

191
192
* Richard
193 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.
194 71 Richard Trotta
*** Richard will pick up looking at the HGCer calibrations from Vijay's scripts. 
195
*** Richard will also be looking at the SHMS calorimeter and with the suggestion of getting some negatively polarized SHMS runs from Hem.
196
** The HMS Cherenkov is finished with the conclusion that the calibrations from the online runs are good
197
** We can begin looking forward towards efficiencies. 
198
*** Garth suggested that looking at PID may be an advantageous first steps. Precise definitions of these PIDs will need to be logged.
199
*** Clear notes on efficiencies steps will be needed. They will need to be redefined multiple times in multiple ways. 
200
201
* Hem
202
** Has been looking at the calorimeter as well. 
203 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.

216
** Issues with DC calibration for only a few runs during each run period
217
** "wiggles" in HMS calorimeter calibrations for some runs
218
*** few runs where HMS cal totally failed (which was dependent on initial parameters)
219
*** Spring looked worse than the rest (surprisingly), but this may be because online calibration wasn't great

227
* Timing update (Stephen)
228
** Reference times between Richard and Stephen are very similar and the GitHub is updated accordingly
229
** Richard is going to add the trigger time cuts once the fall runs are finished (by end of week)
230
** First pass of detector reference time parameter files finished
231 1 Richard Trotta
232 68 Richard Trotta
* Peter's hcana code (Richard and Stephen)
233
** 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
234
*** Richard has emailed Peter about the issue with no response yet (follow-up soon)
235
** 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.
236
237
* Calibrations were decided to be done once per shift
238
239
* Next meeting schedule...
240 127 Richard Trotta
** Small meetings Nov 12 and Nov 19 (at 3pm EST) so Richard and Stephen can iron out the timing and calibrations
241
** November 26 (at 3pm EST) will be a larger meeting. 
242 68 Richard Trotta
*** This is the rough deadline we made for finishing up calibrations. 
243
*** 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)
252
** Extra peaks in HG from cross-talk and "ghost-bands" due to ADC screw up
253
*** cuts applied on SHMS ADC ref time amplitude (greater than zero) done before any further event selection and histogram filling
254
** This is a temporary fix to "ghost-bands" and cross talk
255
*** Although for HG there is still a small peak. The hodoscope is fine.
256
** The time window is easier to set now.
257
** DC has been fine (since it uses TDC)
258
*** DC calibrations should be good to complete, other detectors need more fixes (i.e. the remaining "ghost-band")
259
** Hodoscope still bad but this might be because of that "ghost-band", needs to be further investigated
260
261 1 Richard Trotta
* Peter's hcana fixes for reference time (Richard)
262 67 Richard Trotta
** Peter implemented changes to hcana
263
** Two major issues...
264 1 Richard Trotta
## Amplitude goes to null and integral is low or negative which causes a rate-dependent efficiency. 
265 67 Richard Trotta
*** Peter has used the average pulse value acquired over a large sample of runs for each detector. 
266 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)
267 67 Richard Trotta
*** Peter created a routine to find the best offset by means of matching TDC and ADC
268
** Richard has been checking for bugs in the code. 
269
*** It seems to be ready to implement, Richard emailed Peter for confirmation on the implementation in our group directory
270
271 1 Richard Trotta
* Calibration of HMS detectors when the timing is agreed upon by Stephen and Richard.
272 67 Richard Trotta
** Besides hodoscope which still has an issue with the script
273 65 Richard Trotta
** Stephen and Richard are having a meeting late next week to determine time window values
274 62 Richard Trotta
*** These will be relatively final, but on the wider side if adjustments need to be made in the future

* Richard
411
** 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
412
** 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)
452
** Tracking-based analysis for Runs 1415-1423, .. for now focus on HMS, typical HMS S1X rates are <
453
** Cuts applied: PID for electrons (Cer, Cal), acceptance (delta)
454
** Efficiency calculation was investigated in detail and applied using scalers from trees
455
** Results for carbon (normalized to 30uA) show large variation - need to understand
456
** *Next steps:*
457
*** Double check calculation of computer lifetime, look for differences in TRIG and PRETRIG scalers
458
*** Check stability of pre-scale (Ryan saw changes within runs)
459
*** Check if detector calibrations for runs are implemented correctly
460
*** Analyze with Ryan's cuts
461 1 Richard Trotta
462 35 Stephen Kay
* Luminosity Scans April 2018 (Ryan)
463
** Confirms Richard's earlier finding that scaler-based analysis is not reliable and that it's best to analyze event-by-event
464
** Tracking-based analysis for runs 2073-2095
465
** Cuts applied: PID for electrons (TOF, Cal, Chi2), acceptance (delta and angles), BCM4a
466
** Included most recent detector calibrations in replay of these runs
467
** Efficiencies from report file mainly, may need to update tracking efficiency implementation
468
** Found that calculations of computer deadtime requires different set of scalers for runs from January to those from April 2018
469
** Results show carbon yields consistent with unity within error (0.5% error bars), and boiling for hydrogen and deuterium
470
** *Next steps:*
471 5 Richard Trotta
*** Check tracking efficiency
472 35 Stephen Kay
473
* *Global comments on Luminosity Scans (so far)*
474 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.
475 35 Stephen Kay
** Efficiencies in report files need to be updated, e.g. CPU deadtime (Richard)
476
** Check if BCM4a is the one closest to the target - get a map of the hall (Richard, Ryan)
477
** Uncertainties on current
478
** Detector calibrations
479 1 Richard Trotta
** HMS vs. SHMS

* eK+ coincidence time from SIDIS Spring 2018 run (Samip)
482
** Worked with Mark Jones on coincidence time calculation - now available in hcana (see Samip's 10 May 2018 email for more details)
483
** runs used in this analysis: 3423 with Q2=3.1 GeV2 and W=2.78 GeV
484
** Coincidence time spectrum shows peak separations >2 ns corresponding to different accelerator frequency
485
** Missing mass spectra: Kaon peak clearly visible, also see pions even after cuts
486
** Found that pions appear localized in phase space - seems to be due to end point in kinematic phase space
487 1 Richard Trotta
** *Next steps:*
488 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)
489 35 Stephen Kay
490
* Yield normalized ratios from SIDIS (Hem)
491
** Yield ratios of data to MC match well in shape, but normalization seems not quite right
492
** *Next steps:*
493 4 Richard Trotta
*** Check if efficiencies, currents, run time etc. are taken into account correctly

* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (earlier scan) - Richard
502
** 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
503
** Notes on efficiencies in report file:
504
*** DT (EDTM) is not electronic deadtime. Instead use for now 50ns* trigger rate for HMS and 100ns* trigger rate for SHMS
505
*** Cherenkov efficiency seems low (check if that is due to PID, thresholds, pi/e, etc)
506
*** Tracking efficiency needs to be checked
507
*** 3/4 trigger efficiency seems ok
508
* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (later scan) - Ryan
509
** Fewer carbon runs than earlier scan
510
** Shown is a tracking-based analysis using data from the ROOT trees
511 111 Richard Trotta
** First results for carbon, LH3, and LD2, but efficiencies need to be checked
512 35 Stephen Kay
* SIDIS analysis - Hem
513
** Shown is a data/MC comparison for different kinematic settings. Agreement in shape is very good. Normalization has yet to be applied.
514
** Discussion about agreement in z and apparent offset - relation of this offset with spectrometer offset
515
* Analysis of exclusive events in SIDIS - Samip
516
** Shown is a look at the first kaon events in exclusive limit of SIDIS data
517
** Ongoing work on implementing coincidence time into tree
518
* Discussion of run plan, and in particular possible low Q2/low energy
519
** Assume that kaon low Q2=0.4 already included - have kinematics with specified beam energies, if needed
520
** 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
521
** 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.
541
* Brief description of Samip's work - working on coincidence timing decoding with JLab staff and re-optimization of kinematics
542
* Discussion of Richard's slides on run plan kinematics and preparations -
543
** 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
544
** 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
545
** for each setting will need 1-2 shifts for calibrations - need to negotiate with other experiments in run group
546
** kinematics plots W-Q2 show that still need to do some optimization
547
** run sheets: include raster size, update coincidence count labeling, and carbon target labeling
