h1. Notes from Meeting February 22, 2018
2
 
3 4 Richard Trotta
*  Discussion of "Andres's":https://redmine.jlab.org/documents/19 slides on elastic W calculation in hcana - initial issue with negative W values seems to be due to outdated information in standard.kinematics file.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.
4 2 Richard Trotta
* Brief description of Samip's work - working on coincidence timing decoding with JLab staff and re-optimization of kinematics
5 1 Richard Trotta
* Discussion of Richard's slides on run plan kinematics and preparations -
6
** 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
7
** 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
8
** for each setting will need 1-2 shifts for calibrations - need to negotiate with other experiments in run group
9
** kinematics plots W-Q2 show that still need to do some optimization
10
** run sheets: include raster size, update coincidence count labeling, and carbon target labeling
11
* Discussion of next meeting. Garth at JLab 8-16 March - might have meeting during that time.

14
* *Action Items:*
15
** Post slides/notes from this meeting and procedure to set up hcana in Redmine (Tanja)
16
** Update run sheet and kinematic optimization for W/Q2 (Garth)
17
** Circulate elastic calculations for kinematic settings (Samip)
18
** Continue investigation of elastic data and run plan kinematics (Andres/Richard)
19
** Test software installation instructions (Pete)
20
** Draft email to JLab management about need for small angle beam pipe - need to have HMS minimum angle of less than 13 degrees for kaon L/T separations (Tanja)

h1. Notes from Meeting March 29, 2018
23
24
* Details of adding points to fall run plan - will be ready sooner, likely in week of 4/1 (Garth, Samip, Tanja)
25
* Luminosity scans (Ryan, Andres, "Richard":https://redmine.jlab.org/documents/16, Pete)
26
* Macros, SIDIS analysis (Hem, Anashe)
27
* Elastic data (TBD)

32 3 Richard Trotta
* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (earlier scan) - "Richard":https://redmine.jlab.org/documents/18
33 2 Richard Trotta
** 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
34
** Notes on efficiencies in report file:
35
*** DT (EDTM) is not electronic deadtime. Instead use for now 50ns* trigger rate for HMS and 100ns* trigger rate for SHMS
36
*** Cherenkov efficiency seems low (check if that is due to PID, thresholds, pi/e, etc)
37
*** Tracking efficiency needs to be checked
38
*** 3/4 trigger efficiency seems ok
39
* Discussion luminosity scan analysis (later scan) - Ryan
40
** Fewer carbon runs than earlier scan
41
** Shown is a tracking-based analysis using data from the ROOT trees
42
** First results for carbon, LH2, and LD2, but efficiencies need to be checked
43
* SIDIS analysis - Hem
44
** Shown is a data/MC comparison for different kinematic settings. Agreement in shape is very good. Normalization has yet to be applied.
45
** Discussion about agreement in z and apparent offset - relation of this offset with spectrometer offset
46
* Analysis of exclusive events in SIDIS - Samip
47
** Shown is a look at the first kaon events in exclusive limit of SIDIS data
48
** Ongoing work on implementing coincidence time into tree
49
* Discussion of run plan, and in particular possible low Q2/low energy
50
** Assume that kaon low Q2=0.4 already included - have kinematics with specified beam energies, if needed
51
** 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
52
** Garth will put this together in a draft email
