Minutes

Data Production

  1. Processing Update --- Alex is on vacation, Paul reported that the second phase of the analysis launch, including mostly channels with displaced vertices, has begun and is mostly completed processing.
  2. Calibration Update --- Sean reviewed projected additions for next reconstruction run.
  3. Simulations Update --- Sean reported that the second simulation mini-launch is underway, including updates for the BCAL and new CCDB constants, and is processing well on the OSG
    • Elton: what about simulation of background events? Sean: simulations generated with and without random event mix-ins, for comparison.

Simulation Reports

  • Both Lubomir and Alex A. were out, but Alex sent Paul some slides to go over for the FDC
    • The wire efficiencies have well-understood features, which are generally reproduced by simulation. Note that these hits are not removed from the reconstruction, but there is enough redundancy in the reconstruction that this probably doesn't matter.
    • The comparison of pseudoefficiencies, which use the cathode strips as well, do not agree as well. The next step is focus on improving these
    • Sean: Important to compare efficiency in low versus high rate runs.
    • Looks like rotation implemented differently in data and simulation. Mike S.: U & V planes swapped? Sean: problem should be in mcsmear, will check,
  • Mark D. presented an update on the BCAL, focusing on comparing eta's in simulation and data
    • Looked at gamma p -> p pi+ pi- eta, eta -> gamma gamma
    • Found bug in energy smearing, fixed
    • No huge differences in eta resolution seen, unlike what was reported in J/psi analysis
    • Data and simulation have mass variations in +- 10 MeV. Had noticed other 1-2% effects in other places
    • Sees difference in pi0 widths at higher energy. pi0 mean now also varying in simulation
    • Are there potential photon/electron differences? Richard J.: someone should check description of support material in front of BCAL in geometry
    • Quick look at FCAL suggests smearing too low

Analysis Focus: Total Cross Sections, Acceptance Corrections

  • Simon - Measured t-slope for phi, slightly larger than previous measurements (~3.8 -> ~4.5), constant over energy range
  • Thomas -Aalso measuring t-slope, dealing with software issues and looking at 2017 data

Studies: Alignment & Track/Shower Efficiencies

  • Naomi gave some updates on her dE/dx studies
    • Using hit amplitude instead of integral gives ~30% improvement in proton/pion separation, better stability against higher rates
      • Improvement is due to insensitivity to baseline changes and multiple hits. Eugene: could try using fixed baseline
    • Decreasing truncation from 50% to 20% also gives improvement, larger improvement when integral is used than for amplitude
  • Alex S. gave update on trigger simulations
    • A trigger calculation was first done in standalone code, using a model to convert simulated hits into waveforms and running the simulated trigger algorithms on these signals.
    • Trigger parameters are pulled from RCDB and used as in data
    • This has now been implemented in sim-recon and basically works. Further debugging and tuning is needed.
    • Dmitry has been working on some changes to RCDB to support this. They are almost done, awaiting some support from the CC on SQLite issues. Alex will commit a version of the code by the end of the week.
