Minutes

Attendees: Alex A., Sean, Mahmoud, Mark D., Daniel L., Naomi, Nilanga, Susan, S.T.

  • Daniel reported Lepton ID performance for a few different algorithms
    • His most recent ML algorithm gives the best results for S/sqrt(S+B)
  • Naomi looked at dE/dx in CDC using simulated bggen events
    • Sees the bump behavior near 70 degrees in the bggen events (roughly in the same place as for real data), not present for particle gun
  • S.T. showed dependence of dE/dx in FDC and CDC on number of hits used in dE/dx calculation
  • Mahmoud continues comparison of timing between MC and data for η→γγ events
    • for data the time difference distributions are asymmetric -- Daniel suggested using "Crystal barrel" function
    • MC a little wider than real data
