Minutes

Data Production

  1. Sean reported that only a few calibrations are left to be done for the 2017 data. The high-level BCAL calibrations are being checked and finalized. An ongoing monitoring run will produce the results needed for a few more calibrations that need higher statistics.
  2. Alex A. reported that a monitoring launch on the 2017 was started yesterday with 5 files per run; if time remains before next week's shutdown of the tape library, 5 more files will be run as well. A final 2016 monitoring run is needed as well.

Analysis Focus: Total Cross Sections

  1. Thomas is working on improving the stability of his fits, ~50% finished.

Studies: Hit Efficiencies

  1. Naomi presented some results on the CDC hit efficiency
    • She is taking a bottom-up approach and started looking at hits that don't get added to tracks. It appears as though ~17% of all CDC hits are attached to time-based tracks, as opposed to 40% of CDC hits which look ot be roughly in time. Other systematics were seen, e.g., saturated hits were generally not being added to tracks.
      • Paul M. pointed out that for spiralling tracks, only hits in the last rotation are used
      • Simon and Mike S. pointed out that the selections used at the track-candidate level are fairly loose, while the time-based tracking is more aggressive in how it prunes hits from being used in the fit
    • She also looked at some data/simulation comparisons. The hit time distributions in data and simulation are very different - these can be updated. The pulse amplitude distribution for tracks at theta ~ 90 degrees looks fine, but the data distribution for all tracks is broader.
      • It would be useful to look at simulations that include realistic noise. Thomas will update his wrapper to be used offsite and will provide more information on how to use it and get at the background noise samples.
      • Sean pointed out that the focus should be on comparison with HDGeant4
  2. Matt reported that Jon Z. is focussing on FCAL shower efficiencies, currently the devil is in the details and he and Matt are working out the systematic effects in his method.
    • A new graduate student in the group will be working on using the LED monitoring data to determine block-level efficiencies which can then be integrated into the simulation.
