Offline Analysis Commissioning
From Hall D Ops Wiki
Introduction
This document describes the goals of the data monitoring that will be carried out during the fall 2014 commissioning run of Hall D.
Raw Data Monitoring
- These questions are for every detector system: TAGH, TAGM, CDC, FDC, SC, TOF, BCAL, FCAL, PS (Pair Spectrometer)
Commissioning Tests
- Can we read data from tape?
- Are the detectors working?
- Do all of the channels have hits?
- What are the hit counts/rates per channel?
- Are the energies & times OK, garbage, or out of range? (by channel)
Action Items
- David: Online data monitoring environment (RootSpy, hdview2, etc.)
- David is updating RootSpy and its documentation/instructions.
- When he's finished, he'll contact the different detector groups and remind them to write their online monitoring plugins.
- Detector groups:
- Writing the monitoring plugins for their systems.
- Determining which plots are the primary plots (most important for shift-takers) and which are diagnostic plots.
- Integrating their histograms into RootSpy.
- Paul: Will integrate the monitoring_hists plugin (reconstruction) plots into RootSpy.
- Is the reconstruction working?
- Run full reconstruction over a small % of data, view tracking/shower-reconstruction results online (hdview2, monitoring_hists plugins).
