Revision as of 14:05, 18 April 2019

Meeting Time: 11:00 a.m.

  1. To join via a Web Browser, go to the page [1] https://bluejeans.com/907185247.
  2. To join via Polycom room system go to the IP Address: 199.48.152.152 (bjn.vc) and enter the meeting ID: 907185247.
  3. To join via phone, use one of the following numbers and the Conference ID: 907185247.
    • US or Canada: +1 408 740 7256 or
    • US or Canada: +1 888 240 2560
  4. Upon connection all microphones are automatically muted. To unmute your mike on a Polycom or equivalent unit, enter *4. Unmuting on a computer is trivial as there is a microphone button than can be clicked.
  5. More information on connecting to bluejeans is available.

Goals for Calorimetry Group

  1. Determine preliminary photon reconstruction efficiencies as a function of E, phi and theta in data and simulation with a point-to-point precision of at least 5%.
  2. Measure systematics of pi0/eta mass calibration as a function of detector position to a precision of at east 5 MeV.
  3. Demonstrate agreement of photon reconstruction efficiency and resolution between data and simulation as a function of E, phi and theta to within 5%.

Action Items

Short term items:

  1. Complete Calorimeter work packages
  2. BCAL. Remove BCAL LED triggers from monitoring occupancy plots. (Sean) Completed
  3. FCAL. Collin to show Elton and Mark how to restore bases when communication is lost (Colin, Elton, Mark). Done.
  4. BCAL. Produced histograms of total event energy for a) physics triggers and b) LED FP triggers to decide on online monitoring selection (Ahmed) See details below

Long term items:

  1. From Mike's work: -cos(phi) type dependence in the data and a phi dependence at the downstream end of the bcal. See Sep 21, 2017 Calorimeter Meeting.
  2. FCAL: It has been noticed that the pi0 mass shifts when the LED pulser runs at high rate. This is still not understood. See Log Entry 3595928 and references. Several runs have been taken in raw mode. These runs exhibit the shift in pi0 mass with LED running at 1 kHz. There is a need to analyze these to try to determine the cause:
    1. 50634 - FCAL Green LED: 1kHz, 29 V, Livetime is 9%, 1.7 M events
    2. 50635 - FCAL Violet LED: 1kHz, 22 V, Livetime is 9%, 1.4 M events
    3. 50636 - FCAL Blue LED: 1kHz, 15 V, Livetime is 9%, 1.5 M events

Minutes

Attending: Elton, Colin, Mark, Sean (JLab); Tolga (FIU); George (Athens); Matt (IU); Tegan, Zisis, Karthik, Ahmed (UofR); Curtis, Will (CMU).

  1. Announcements
    1. Collaboration Meeting May 14-16, 2019 at Jefferson Lab.
      • Zisis will give the Calorimetry report at the collaboration meeting
      • Mark will give the report at the Data/MC comparison Workshop
  2. Action Items
    • We reviewed the calorimeter work packages.
      • Matt commented on the FCAL calculation by Jon: Plan is to (at least) have an update on status of the measurement by the collaboration meeting. The final loose end comes from a 90% measurement with the photon gun and 95% with w-decays, which is not understood.
      • Karthik (and Zisis) have been in communication with Jon to understand the omega decay process to determined efficiencies in the BCAL. Some initial jobs have been submitted to the OSG.
    • First two items completed. See monitoring item for information on the 3rd item.
  3. Run Updates.
    1. There will be a power outage on Monday, so everything should be shut down in an orderly fashion before then. FCAL and BCAL are both off now. Elton will coordinate with Fernando about shutting down electronics tomorrow.
    2. Work packages for summer
      • FCAL: Electronics lab is moving to EEL and Colin will make sure that all equipment is moved over.
      • BCAL: The occupancy plots looked ragged during the PRIMEX run. This could be due to triggering only on CCAL and FCAL and/or no magnetic field. During the down time we should check that cables are still secure and pedestals are stable in advance of the Nov run.
  4. Calibrations
    1. GlueX-doc-3976 Update Costhe Efficiency Method (Elton)
  5. Monitoring
    1. See Fig.5 in Report (Ahmed)
  6. NIM articles
  7. Simulations
  8. Any other business
