*Analysis Updates:*
108
109
* Ryan 
110
** resolving differences between his analysis and Richard's
111
112
* Richard
113
** 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
114
** 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.

127 2 Richard Trotta
128 35 Stephen Kay
* Luminosity scans (Richard, Ryan)
129
** Carbon scan from April seems consistent with no boiling, LH2 and LD2 show deviation from unity, should check effect of EDTM events on efficiencies
130
** Carbon scans from January (low rates) have large deviations from unity, in particular behavior at higher currents (>40uA), e.g. cpu dead time, that is not yet understood
131
** discussion about pre-scale factors
132 1 Richard Trotta
133 35 Stephen Kay
* Discussion about Richard's script extracting and printing information from report files and trees including histograms
134
** Add option for looking at yields with cuts on cointime, target window, and missing mass
135
** Add option to look at real peak vs. background level
136 1 Richard Trotta
137 35 Stephen Kay
* H(e,e'p) kinematics investigation for fall run (Samip)
138
** Optimal range is between electron angles of 17-20 degrees, time required ranges from ~1 hour at 17 degrees to ~3 hour at 20 degrees, other angles may be of interest for disentangling charge and current dependent effects
139 1 Richard Trotta
140 35 Stephen Kay
* *Action Items*

142

153 35 Stephen Kay
* Luminosity Scans January 2018 (Richard)
154
** Tracking-based analysis for Runs 1415-1423, .. for now focus on HMS, typical HMS S1X rates are <
155
** Cuts applied: PID for electrons (Cer, Cal), acceptance (delta)
156
** Efficiency calculation was investigated in detail and applied using scalers from trees
157
** Results for carbon (normalized to 30uA) show large variation - need to understand
158
** *Next steps:*
159
*** Double check calculation of computer lifetime, look for differences in TRIG and PRETRIG scalers
160
*** Check stability of pre-scale (Ryan saw changes within runs)
161
*** Check if detector calibrations for runs are implemented correctly
162
*** Analyze with Ryan's cuts
163 1 Richard Trotta
164 35 Stephen Kay
* Luminosity Scans April 2018 (Ryan)
165
** Confirms Richard's earlier finding that scaler-based analysis is not reliable and that it's best to analyze event-by-event
166
** Tracking-based analysis for runs 2073-2095
167
** Cuts applied: PID for electrons (TOF, Cal, Chi2), acceptance (delta and angles), BCM4a
168
** Included most recent detector calibrations in replay of these runs
169
** Efficiencies from report file mainly, may need to update tracking efficiency implementation
170
** Found that calculations of computer deadtime requires different set of scalers for runs from January to those from April 2018
171
** Results show carbon yields consistent with unity within error (0.5% error bars), and boiling for hydrogen and deuterium
172
** *Next steps:*
173
*** Check tracking efficiency
174 5 Richard Trotta
175 35 Stephen Kay
* *Global comments on Luminosity Scans (so far)*
176
** 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.
177
** Efficiencies in report files need to be updated, e.g. CPU deadtime (Richard)
178
** Check if BCM4a is the one closest to the target - get a map of the hall (Richard, Ryan)
179
** Uncertainties on current
180
** Detector calibrations
181
** HMS vs. SHMS
182 1 Richard Trotta
183 35 Stephen Kay
* eK+ coincidence time from SIDIS Spring 2018 run (Samip)
184
** Worked with Mark Jones on coincidence time calculation - now available in hcana (see Samip's 10 May 2018 email for more details)
185
** runs used in this analysis: 3423 with Q2=3.1 GeV2 and W=2.78 GeV
186
** Coincidence time spectrum shows peak separations >2 ns corresponding to different accelerator frequency
187
** Missing mass spectra: Kaon peak clearly visible, also see pions even after cuts
188
** Found that pions appear localized in phase space - seems to be due to end point in kinematic phase space
189
** *Next steps:*
190
*** Look for a run with kaon momentum closer to 3 GeV/c (aerogel threshold is ~3 GeV/c for kaons for n=1.015)
191 2 Richard Trotta
192 35 Stephen Kay
* Yield normalized ratios from SIDIS (Hem)
193
** Yield ratios of data to MC match well in shape, but normalization seems not quite right
194
** *Next steps:*
195
*** Check if efficiencies, currents, run time etc. are taken into account correctly

202 4 Richard Trotta
203 35 Stephen Kay
* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (earlier scan) - Richard
204
** 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
205
** Notes on efficiencies in report file:
206
*** DT (EDTM) is not electronic deadtime. Instead use for now 50ns* trigger rate for HMS and 100ns* trigger rate for SHMS
207
*** Cherenkov efficiency seems low (check if that is due to PID, thresholds, pi/e, etc)
208
*** Tracking efficiency needs to be checked
209
*** 3/4 trigger efficiency seems ok
210
* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (later scan) - Ryan
211
** Fewer carbon runs than earlier scan
212
** Shown is a tracking-based analysis using data from the ROOT trees
213
** First results for carbon, LH2, and LD2, but efficiencies need to be checked
214
* SIDIS analysis - Hem
215
** Shown is a data/MC comparison for different kinematic settings. Agreement in shape is very good. Normalization has yet to be applied.
216
** Discussion about agreement in z and apparent offset - relation of this offset with spectrometer offset
217
* Analysis of exclusive events in SIDIS - Samip
218
** Shown is a look at the first kaon events in exclusive limit of SIDIS data
219
** Ongoing work on implementing coincidence time into tree
220
* Discussion of run plan, and in particular possible low Q2/low energy
221
** Assume that kaon low Q2=0.4 already included - have kinematics with specified beam energies, if needed
222
** 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
223
** Garth will put this together in a draft email

241 18 Richard Trotta
242 35 Stephen Kay
*  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.
243
* Brief description of Samip's work - working on coincidence timing decoding with JLab staff and re-optimization of kinematics
244
* Discussion of Richard's slides on run plan kinematics and preparations -
245
** 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
246
** 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
247
** for each setting will need 1-2 shifts for calibrations - need to negotiate with other experiments in run group
248
** kinematics plots W-Q2 show that still need to do some optimization
249
** run sheets: include raster size, update coincidence count labeling, and carbon target labeling
250
* Discussion of next meeting. Garth at JLab 8-16 March - might have meeting during that time.
251 26 Richard Trotta
