Review minutes from the meeting on July 12
We went over the minutes.
Mahmoud talked to Sean Dobbs about updating the CCDB with the new propagation time corrections. Sean would prefer to leave the constants alone for now since the upcoming reconstruction launch is so close. Mahmoud is prepared to do the update for 2017 and 2018 at any time.
Time Resolution as a Function of Position
Mahmoud showed slides presenting his latest work on measuring the time resolution of the start counter as a function of position along the counter. These values can be used in mcsmear in favor of a single smearing constants as has been done before. Please see his slides for plots and the details.
He has settled on a four-region parametrization of the resolution. He is using this rather than a three-region version since the 2018 data shows some variation in the straight section not seen in 2017.
NIM/TDR
Both Werner and Mark spoke with Eric Pooser yesterday. He has been sidetracked with requests from Hall A/C management but will be able to return to working on the paper soon.
