Minutes

  • Analysis launch started Tuesday, analyzing 60 channels, and should finish in a few days (~500 jobs running at once):
    • It's using the new library, which has not been merged into the master because it's not 100% functional yet (e.g. no detached vertices yet). It has been tagged though: analysis-2017_01-ver01-batch01
    • It's using a set of built-in cuts that are applied to ALL channels: Analysis Launch Cuts
    • Running with 12 threads, it's 4x faster than the old library (30 min vs 2hr) and uses 1/2 the RAM (9 vs 18 GB)
    • With tighter cuts than before, the trees are 27% of the size of the REST files (vs. 62% with old cuts), and is expected to take 32 TB of space.
  • Lubomir is trying to understand why the background is different for his e+/- analysis between the 2016 and 2017 data. The response from the kinematic fit looks like it may be different for the background, although it's uncertain why this might be. He's still looking into it.
  • Mike Dugger showed that the extracted values of the polarization depend heavily on the width of the ΔE matching cut between the tagger and the PS, at least for narrow-width cuts. The same narrow cut yields a different polarization for the different PARA/PERP/45/135/AMO settings. However, everything looks consistent with wide cuts, or by not cutting at all, so that's what he's doing for now.
  • Alex Austregesilo showed the extracted P*Sigma from the Spring 2017 data as a function of run # for the different polarization orientations, showing that they are relatively stable and in agreement with each other.
