Minutes

Data Production

1. Sean presented the current calibration status. Aside from a few scattered problems, the last calibrations that need to be done are minor changes to the CDC time-to-distance calibration and to check that the covariance matrices are reasonable. Beyond that there are some minor improvements possible, but we should be ready for an initial processing of the data.
   • The current plan is to start production of the 2016 data as soon as the tape library is ready (Mike S. just needs to make a few minor changes). The 2017 data will require one more monitoring run. The aim is to be ready the Monday after next (May 21) to start production of the 2017 data.
   • Sean pointed out a few reconstruction features that need to be understood, including wrongly-timed SC hits, miss-ID'd RF buckets, and TAGM resolutions and shifts.

Analysis Focus: Total Cross Sections

1. Simon has promised to send Sean some cross section summary plots no later than 10 minutes before he gives his Monday talk.
2. Thomas showed some initial results on phi -> K+K- cross sections. He generally gets agreement within a factor of 2, and the agreement at higher photon energy is better. He is working on studying the efficiency in more detail and understanding the odd apparently tagger-dependent effects. A closer comparison with Simon's results in some bins was suggested.
3. Cris mentioned that they recently noticed a drop in MC-determined efficiency for his omega analysis, which is being investigated, but also motivates the effort to determine efficiencies from data.

Alignment & Track/Shower Efficiencies

1. Mike S. made some minor shifts in the FDC package alignment which yielded some slight improvement, but the few remaining inconsistencies in the pull distributions remain.
2. Jon Z. showed some initial resolutions for FCAL shower efficiencies as a function of shower energy, using omega -> pi+pi- pi0 decays with one photon missing. He plans on making some changes to the analysis and efficiency definition to have more robust results, but this seems like a solid basis for an efficiency determination.
