Data Production

  1. Sean reported that most calibrations for the low-rate runs are finished, the high-rate runs still have some outliers and behavior that is being understood. Since the new drift chamber alignment was added, the biggest schedule drivers are BCAL timing calibrations and the CDC time-to-distance calibrations. Mark D. has tried a few different BCAL ADC timing algorithms, and thinks that he should have new constants added by the end of the week. Higher-level calibrations will then need to be done.
    • Sean also pointed out that comparisons of reconstructed data between simulations performed using hdgeant and hdgeant4 have been started, and pointed to some interesting histograms.
    • There was some discussion of using updated constants determined from the 2017 data with the 2016 data, this may occur depending on the status of various studies.
  2. Alex A. reported that some test jobs with the new alignment were started. Once checks on these were finished, monitoring launches on the 2016 and 2017 data will be performed.
  3. The schedule for production launches was discussed. The 2016 data requires updated CDC calibrations. The 2017 data requires updated BCAL and CDC calibrations. We will revisit the official schedule early next week, but the current outlook is that whatever data is ready first will be first processed.

Analysis Focus: Total Cross Sections

  1. Lubomir showed a first look at 2017 data, and that he is able to get better momentum resolution using just the angles of the recosntructed particles, without doing a full kinematic fit.
  2. Thomas reported progress, but no firm results yet.

Studies: Other

  1. Mike S. showed the current status of his alignment studies - the code and constants had been made publically available the day before
    • The CDC residuals look good after aligning the wire positions and t0's. The time-to-distance relations need to be updated on a run-by-run basis, since they are seen to vary.
    • The FDC cathode alignment looks much improved, but the wires still could use some improvement. Likely an extra degree of freedom is needed.
    • The pull distributions for the p + pi+pi- final state have significantly improved, although they are still not ideal.
    • Mike will finish up his effort on this work soon so that he can finish his thesis.
  2. Nacer showed the current status of his CDC dE/dx studies
    • The ultimate purpose of the studies are to better extract the dE/dx information to be used in particle identification
    • The dE/dx generally has a Landau distribution, with non-gaussian errors, and a typical approach that is used is to define a truncated mean, where hits with large dE/dx are thrown away. The amount of hits to truncate is a parameter that must be optimized.
    • He studied optimizing the truncation for three cases: (1) best resolution; (2) best separation power; (3) lowest mid-identification rate
    • Each of these cases had different preferred values, but they generally are in the range of ~15-35%.
    • So far he has looked at an inclusive sample of tracks, but he next plans to look at exclusive reactions to obtain cleaner samples of events of different types, and to investigate truncating both high and low dE/dx hits.
