** Raster checks of the summer 2019 data. attachment:Raster_check_summer19.pdf

** I checked the Raster for the summer 2019 data. It looks ok to me. I did not see any slightly tilting issues that Ali saw earlier.

** I do not think that we will need to make any changes to the Raster in the summer 2019 data. 

** Please check the attached file and let me know if you have any concerns of the study.

h3. May 11, 2023

* Dave's Notes attachment:mtg_23may11.txt

* Richard

** attachment:KaonLTMeeting5_11_23.pdf

** Carlos and I found the error in the HMS scaler rate and slope. I was previously doing some testing of ELREAL vs ELCLEAN and I never reverted my testing from ELCLEAN. Once I changed the variable back to ELREAL, the rates and trends match.

* Vijay

** HMS Calorimeter efficiency study. attachment:Vijay_May11_2023.pdf

** It looks like the efficiency is less from the production data (Q2 = 0.38 GeV2, High e).

** I'll take a look at the heep coin data in this run period of the experiment and get the efficiency. 

** Hopefully that's number, the efficiency from heep coin data, will be reliable to correct the inefficiency of the detector and correct the data run by run.

** Most of the bad runs have been resolved although there are still a few issues I am sorting out. I also have some plots of the boiling corrections that need to be updated.

** I talked with Jacob last week and he checked my luminosity calculations and they seem fine. Carlos and I are meeting tomorrow at 11 am to try and figure out our discrepancies.

** Found a possible cut issue with the proton peak where cuts were not being properly applied. This is still early in checks.

* Richard

** attachment:KaonLT_Meeting_3_16_23.pdf

** Carlos has been working on the rate dependence issue for the luminosity scans that Casey and I have been seeing. He came to a similar conclusion as me that there will need to be a correction factor that we all agree on that will need to be applied. We are meeting on Monday to discuss things further. "See his slides on the docDB":https://hallcweb.jlab.org/doc-private/ShowDocument?docid=1206

** I think I have tracked down the odd issues with right setting that I have been seeing for most energies. I am not sure why, but it seems that something is going wrong with the replays. I tried rerunning them, but the issue has persisted. My initial guess is that it may be an issue with the TDC cuts, since the coin time distributions were looking off previously.

** SIMC code was updated to match what is in hcana, using hcana and parts of Carlos' code as a template. Things do not look right though. 

** We are a month behind at this point and Bill has finally responded to my questions so I am going to fully concentrate on getting cross sections before the Hall C collaboration meeting in January so that Nathan can present them. I am setting a soft deadline of January 6th to get him early results but will continue to push for cross sections by the talk.

** A new subroutine has been added for the hcana variable calculations in SIMC, this is ongoing.

** Plots of right/left/center for each physics setting have been added, including efficiencies and t-bin plots (no diamond cuts yet!). These plots show the input to Bill's code for comparison. These need to be updated with Ali's updates so a new set of replays will need to be analyzed.

** Bill is doing a write-up with some questions I had which will hopefully fix the remaining issues I've been having with his code.

** Fits for lumi scans look great for HMS across the board. SHMS no track also look pretty good but tracking still needs work. Ali has adjusted the tracking parameters in the replay which should help things. Signs of boiling are also now evident in HMS for some runs.

** Odd issue with the yields going on that I need to discuss with Bill. It seems to be a cut discrepancy that is eliminating events, I may be missing a cut that he has hidden somewhere. Besides this, the cross-section code is being edited for HeeP so we can get some cross-section plots on this soon.

** I found a script for raster calibrations. The script is being fixed as it is currently a bit of a mess.

** Heep Coin Offset study using Peter Bosted's correction factor for HMS central momenta. The results from 8.2 and 10.6 GeV improved after applying the offset whereas 6.2 over corrects the distributions as they are already looking good with no offset. Data and SIMC comparison look very good for W distribution but doesn't perfectly match for missing variables.

** Regarding Ali's work on the Pc offsets at high momentum, I referenced the delta corrections I made early last year. In EPICS, the NMR did not appear to be locked and in the middle of the scan, the NMR was changed. Slide 15 has the offsets to the central momentum, Pc.

** Luminosities are looking very nice. These now include the ones Peter pointed out that were taken during SIDIS. Nearly all e-e runs are under 5%.

** I have debugged all of the issues I was having with Bill's code. I am now in the process of merging the two frameworks which is mainly just making names, conventions, etc. consistent.

** I have been writing up some questions for Bill next week when he presents. I'd like to also have these two frameworks pretty much merged by then.

** attachment:KaonLTMeeting10_4_22.pdf

** Fixed some issues with the luminosity scripts with updated replay and analysis script. The biggest issue was the really low beam on times which came from BCM4a being called by accident in some cases instead of BCM1.

*** It should be noted, there are huge discrepancies between BCM4A and BCM1 in some cases (like 20+ uA).

** Ran into some issues with the cross-section code. I am in debug mode trying to find the cause.

** Tanja sent me some awesome fpi2 raster correction documents as well as procedures for verifying the beam and target positions. I am in the process of reading through/beginning these procedures. A Redmine wiki page will be linked when completed.

** Lumi SHMS tracking is still showing the trend from 9/8. It was found that the lumi replay script is not updated with many of Ali and Richard's most recent changes. These changes are being applied and a set of new replays will be done.

** Bill's cross-section code is broken into two major parts. The root analysis part, which takes all the yields, uncertainties, etc., is nearly complete with the connecting ltsep framework script finishing up. The second part, where many of the final plots and cross-sections are done, is a hard-coded mess. Richard is in the process of making this more dynamic. This aspect will take more time but the root analysis part is the bulk of the analysis anyways.

** Heep Coin analysis for high Q2 KaonLT data (6.2, 8.2, 10.6 GeV beam energy) has now all the efficiencies/live times applied. The results for all 3 beam energies are looking very good. Data/SIMC ratios are agreeing very well (< 3%) and the shapes are matching up nicely. Next step is to finalize offsets for both low and high Q2 KaonLT data. Also proton absorption correction and target boiling needs to be applied.

** The summary of the Heepcheck study is attached here. attachment:Vijay_Aug17_2022.pdf 

** 3.6 and 3.9 GeV data do NOT have the angle offsets. This has been established in the study.

** I've plotted the offsets vs SHMS central momentum. Plots are attached in the attached pdf file.

* Richard

** The 10.6 GeV heep analysis is going well but the broad momentum distributions are making offsets difficult at times.

** I have decided to give a second pair of eyes to Ali's hcana vs simc calculation investigation. It is concluded that the broad peaks of the hcana are likely caused by the secondary particle calculation which is gathered from the spectrometer track info. 

** Corrections to the simc pmiss components have been added to the fortran code which corrects for a minus sign that is in hcana but missing from simc.

** Explicit PS calculations

*** I have gotten a rough script working for very simple runs (ie low rate, single spectrometer, calibration runs)

*** I am trying to expand to lumi singles runs, things get a bit more complex so I am just working out the trigger correlations

** Pass 2 runs

*** DEF-files

**** I checked out the DEF-files for our combination of the nested files

**** There are a lot a files (~150!!!!) and may be hard to track so next week *we should make a flowchart together*

**** Working on my list of branches for the next replay

***** Mainly just working on my list of branches for the explicit PS calculations

***** *Everyone should have a list of these branches by next mini-meeting (4/7/21)*

* Stephen

** Updated DEF-File for the "full" replay

*** Can't remove NData brances, Mark says they won't take up too many resources anyway

*** Removed individual PMT info and raw info for many detectors, reduced file size by factor ~2

** Updating DEF-files/scripts for calibrations as part of PionLT prep

** Will focus on DEF-file/DEF-cut file updates over next week

* Peter's changes to hcana should be coming soon. Richard will check with Mark when he is down there for an update.

* Need to incorporate the latest "BCM updates":https://hallcweb.jlab.org/doc-public/ShowDocument?docid=1034 from Dave Mack.

* Richard should look at the luminosity scalar analysis before and after the BCM changes once he gets his script working again.

**  He is checking with Mark about this while he is down in jlab.
