Action Items
- Take a current rate scan on full target later in the run to investigate any rate dependent effects. (Rory and Elton)
-
Work with Sasha to include the inner FCAL rings into the FCAL/BCAL trigger and check the effect on rates (Ilya)Task is complete. Further checking of new files should continue. -
Work with Mark Dalton to equalize FCAL responseMark uploaded new voltages. Ilya continues to see anomalies, which he will work with Mark. -
Look at data for eta -> 3 pi0 (Simon)No luck so far. Beni had more luck but with more data. -
Continue to analyze data for various channels, especially neutrals (Alex). Simon: Is the f2(1270)?Work in progress.

Minutes
Attending: Albert, Alex, Andrew, Beni, David H., Elton, Ilya, Rory, Simon
- Previous CPP meeting: Jul 6, 2022
- Previous CPP Software meeting: Π polarizability Software Meeting May 5, 2022
- Announcements
- A request from the experiment has been submitted to Thia Kepple (copies to Dough Higinbotham and Eugene Chudakov) to change the end of the CPP-NPP running from July 27 to August 17.
- Action Items
- Spread Sheet with Run List (Albert)
- Albert has been comparing the trigger counts in the Spreadsheet with the numbers obtained using a python script to get counts from RCDB.
- RCDB counts are about 20% lower. He found that the main reason for the discrepancy was a current=0 entries for some RCDB runs. Alex suggested that he use the beam_on_current variable instead and this already brought the numbers closer together.
- Albert will continue comparing the lists with the goal of determining a "good runs list."
- Albert will also compile a list of "Full Pb" runs and "Empty" runs so that Sean can add them to the RCDB data base. [There is no automatic update of the database with this information.]
- Software/Calibration, Simulations
- Beni showed the preliminary analysis of exclusive pi0 and exclusive 2pi0 events.
- The results were for about 2-3 runs near Run 100963.
- Several plots were shown and he will make an entry at an appropriate time.
- Overall this shows that we can see pi0's in the data, although there is a relatively high accidental background.
- There was much discussion, comments and suggestions offered.
- Photon beam / tagger / diamonds
- Log Entry 4014793
- Hovanes had noted that the phi asymmetry for rho production seemed to have an offset relative to previous diamonds.
- A special run was taken with the previously used diamond to check consistency.
- It was found that the new plugin had some bugs which are now fixed. The new JD70-103 diamond was aligned consistent with previous diamonds.
- DAQ and Electronic Setup (Sergey and Beni)
- Sergey updated the DAQ to run in "high-intensity" mode (using two output streams) and this seems to have stabilized our livetime.
- CPP-NPP Trigger
- Log Entry 4014639
- Sasha changed the trigger to include all FCAL blocks except for the single innermost layer.
- The TOF Hit>3 prescaled trigger was removed.
- Current Run
- FMWPC Log Book
- halldweb/talks/CPP_NPP
- We decided to switch to Empty target, taking data at 30 nA (production current) till tomorrow morning when the accelerator will go down for maintenance.
- The data sequence will be Configuration: [45,45,135,135,Empty], Triggers Collected [120M,120M,120M,120M,30M]
