** PID efficiency script is coming together
70
*** Tighter cuts and cuts on timing, beta, etc. will be needed for cleaner electron cuts
71
*** 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.

103
* Garth and Stephen were in the most recent SIDIS meeting
104
** Wit had lots of hcana changes but they seem to be critical to our work 
105
*** Changes such as new detector classes
106
** Hopefully Wit will present these in the next commissioning meeting
107 1 Richard Trotta
108 77 Richard Trotta
* Stephen improved wiggles but still prevalent
109 74 Richard Trotta
110
* Richard finished HGCer calibrations, he concluded that the online parameters are sufficient
111
** He also has been looking at SHMS calorimeter calibrations but has had issues running the scripts. Most likely a pathing issue.
112
** The "tasks":https://redmine.jlab.org/projects/kltexp/wiki/Analysis_Tasks page has been updated with a section for efficiencies. 
113
*** A PID efficiency script is currently being developed and hopefully should have some plots for our next meeting.

* Stephen
124
** DC SHMS, small-angle has poor performance
125
*** Tighter cuts or PID (currently only looks for electrons)
126
** Vardan said calorimeter wiggles are an ongoing issue with no current solution
127
128
* Richard
129
** 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.
130
*** Richard will pick up looking at the HGCer calibrations from Vijay's scripts. 
131
*** Richard will also be looking at the SHMS calorimeter and with the suggestion of getting some negatively polarized SHMS runs from Hem.
132
** The HMS Cherenkov is finished with the conclusion that the calibrations from the online runs are good
133
** We can begin looking forward towards efficiencies. 
134
*** Garth suggested that looking at PID may be an advantageous first steps. Precise definitions of these PIDs will need to be logged.
135
*** Clear notes on efficiencies steps will be needed. They will need to be redefined multiple times in multiple ways. 
136
137
* Hem
138
** Has been looking at the calorimeter as well. 
139
** 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.

150
151
* Stephen
152
** Issues with DC calibration for only a few runs during each run period
153
** "wiggles" in HMS calorimeter calibrations for some runs
154
*** few runs where HMS cal totally failed (which was dependent on initial parameters)
155
*** Spring looked worse than the rest (surprisingly), but this may be because online calibration wasn't great

163
* Timing update (Stephen)
164
** Reference times between Richard and Stephen are very similar and the GitHub is updated accordingly
165
** Richard is going to add the trigger time cuts once the fall runs are finished (by end of week)
166
** First pass of detector reference time parameter files finished
167
168
* Peter's hcana code (Richard and Stephen)
169
** 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
170
*** Richard has emailed Peter about the issue with no response yet (follow-up soon)
171
** 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.
172
173
* Calibrations were decided to be done once per shift
174
175
* Next meeting schedule...
176
** Small meetings Nov 12 and Nov 19 (at 3pm ET) so Richard and Stephen can iron out the timing and calibrations
177
** November 26 (at 3pm ET) will be a larger meeting. 
178
*** This is the rough deadline we made for finishing up calibrations. 
179
*** 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)
188
** Extra peaks in HG from cross-talk and "ghost-bands" due to ADC screw up
189
*** cuts applied on SHMS ADC ref time amplitude (greater than zero) done before any further event selection and histogram filling
190
** This is a temporary fix to "ghost-bands" and cross talk
191
*** Although for HG there is still a small peak. The hodoscope is fine.
192
** The time window is easier to set now.
193
** DC has been fine (since it uses TDC)
194
*** DC calibrations should be good to complete, other detectors need more fixes (i.e. the remaining "ghost-band")
195
** Hodoscope still bad but this might be because of that "ghost-band", needs to be further investigated
196
197
* Peter's hcana fixes for reference time (Richard)
198
** Peter implemented changes to hcana
199
** Two major issues...
200 67 Richard Trotta
## Amplitude goes to null and integral is low or negative which causes a rate-dependent efficiency. 
201
*** Peter has used the average pulse value acquired over a large sample of runs for each detector. 
202 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)
203 67 Richard Trotta
*** Peter created a routine to find the best offset by means of matching TDC and ADC
204
** Richard has been checking for bugs in the code. 
205
*** It seems to be ready to implement, Richard emailed Peter for confirmation on the implementation in our group directory
206
207
* Calibration of HMS detectors when the timing is agreed upon by Stephen and Richard.
208
** Besides hodoscope which still has an issue with the script
209
** Stephen and Richard are having a meeting late next week to determine time window values
210
*** These will be relatively final, but on the wider side if adjustments need to be made in the future

*Analysis Updates:*
338
339
* Ryan 
340
** resolving differences between his analysis and Richard's
341
342
* Richard
343
** 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
344
** 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.

** Efficiency calculation was investigated in detail and applied using scalers from trees
387
** Results for carbon (normalized to 30uA) show large variation - need to understand
388
** *Next steps:*
389
*** Double check calculation of computer lifetime, look for differences in TRIG and PRETRIG scalers
390
*** Check stability of pre-scale (Ryan saw changes within runs)
391
*** Check if detector calibrations for runs are implemented correctly
392
*** Analyze with Ryan's cuts
393 1 Richard Trotta
394 35 Stephen Kay
* Luminosity Scans April 2018 (Ryan)
395
** Confirms Richard's earlier finding that scaler-based analysis is not reliable and that it's best to analyze event-by-event
396
** Tracking-based analysis for runs 2073-2095
397
** Cuts applied: PID for electrons (TOF, Cal, Chi2), acceptance (delta and angles), BCM4a
398
** Included most recent detector calibrations in replay of these runs
399
** Efficiencies from report file mainly, may need to update tracking efficiency implementation
400
** Found that calculations of computer deadtime requires different set of scalers for runs from January to those from April 2018
401
** Results show carbon yields consistent with unity within error (0.5% error bars), and boiling for hydrogen and deuterium
402
** *Next steps:*
403
*** Check tracking efficiency
404 5 Richard Trotta
405 35 Stephen Kay
* *Global comments on Luminosity Scans (so far)*
406
** 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.
407
** Efficiencies in report files need to be updated, e.g. CPU deadtime (Richard)
408
** Check if BCM4a is the one closest to the target - get a map of the hall (Richard, Ryan)
409
** Uncertainties on current
410
** Detector calibrations
411
** HMS vs. SHMS

* eK+ coincidence time from SIDIS Spring 2018 run (Samip)
414
** Worked with Mark Jones on coincidence time calculation - now available in hcana (see Samip's 10 May 2018 email for more details)
415
** runs used in this analysis: 3423 with Q2=3.1 GeV2 and W=2.78 GeV
416
** Coincidence time spectrum shows peak separations >2 ns corresponding to different accelerator frequency
417
** Missing mass spectra: Kaon peak clearly visible, also see pions even after cuts
418
** Found that pions appear localized in phase space - seems to be due to end point in kinematic phase space
419
** *Next steps:*
420
*** Look for a run with kaon momentum closer to 3 GeV/c (aerogel threshold is ~3 GeV/c for kaons for n=1.015)
421 2 Richard Trotta
422 35 Stephen Kay
* Yield normalized ratios from SIDIS (Hem)
423
** Yield ratios of data to MC match well in shape, but normalization seems not quite right
424
** *Next steps:*
425
*** Check if efficiencies, currents, run time etc. are taken into account correctly

* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (earlier scan) - Richard
434
** 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
435
** Notes on efficiencies in report file:
436
*** DT (EDTM) is not electronic deadtime. Instead use for now 50ns* trigger rate for HMS and 100ns* trigger rate for SHMS
437
*** Cherenkov efficiency seems low (check if that is due to PID, thresholds, pi/e, etc)
438
*** Tracking efficiency needs to be checked
439
*** 3/4 trigger efficiency seems ok
440
* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (later scan) - Ryan
441
** Fewer carbon runs than earlier scan
442
** Shown is a tracking-based analysis using data from the ROOT trees
443
** First results for carbon, LH2, and LD2, but efficiencies need to be checked
444
* SIDIS analysis - Hem
445
** Shown is a data/MC comparison for different kinematic settings. Agreement in shape is very good. Normalization has yet to be applied.
446
** Discussion about agreement in z and apparent offset - relation of this offset with spectrometer offset
447
* Analysis of exclusive events in SIDIS - Samip
448
** Shown is a look at the first kaon events in exclusive limit of SIDIS data
449
** Ongoing work on implementing coincidence time into tree
450
* Discussion of run plan, and in particular possible low Q2/low energy
451
** Assume that kaon low Q2=0.4 already included - have kinematics with specified beam energies, if needed
452
** 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
453
** Garth will put this together in a draft email

471 18 Richard Trotta
472 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.
473
* Brief description of Samip's work - working on coincidence timing decoding with JLab staff and re-optimization of kinematics
474
* Discussion of Richard's slides on run plan kinematics and preparations -
475
** 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
476
** 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
477
** for each setting will need 1-2 shifts for calibrations - need to negotiate with other experiments in run group
478
** kinematics plots W-Q2 show that still need to do some optimization
479
** run sheets: include raster size, update coincidence count labeling, and carbon target labeling
480
* Discussion of next meeting. Garth at JLab 8-16 March - might have meeting during that time.
481 26 Richard Trotta
