## BCAL/FCAL coordinates: a) David and George worked on the radial coordinates.  As far as z-coord is concerned, Matt had proposed to leave things as they are, since most folks work with higher level objects and do not need to worry about different coordinate systems at the lower levels.  The issue originated with nonlinearity corrections for the FCAL but now the FCAL showers work ok.  Anyhow, the code is well documented where coordinate systems other than the global one are used.

## Layer efficiencies (Ahmed) [https://halldweb1.jlab.org/wiki/images/2/2c/BCAL_EFF_Reconstruction_Aug52015.pdf]: Ahmed showed plots for the layer efficiency, enhanced efficiency and modified efficiency (e.g., =1.2.3/2 tighter layer 'coincidence').  The modified efficiency is pretty much the same as the normal efficiency.  Ahmed will focus on why layer 1 gives different efficiencies for mod7 vs mod8 and will replete his efficiency data separately for each layer as a function of run number.

Minutes

Attendees: Elton, Simon, David, Mark (JLab), Will M, Mike (CMU), Noemi, Ahmed, Tegan, Zisis (Regina)

  1. Announcements: LED data was taken for both North and South sections of BCAL. One LED appears to be dead.
  2. Action Items:
    1. Shower curvature plots: Tegan will re-circulate his email from July 13 showing the effect of implementing the shower curvature.
    2. Up/down gain ratios: This is related to gain calibration (2 step process: get mean gains and separate the two ends to use timing). U/D ratio is from the fall running. Mark will update the procedure to make it more efficient and easy to use.
    3. BCAL/FCAL coordinates: a) David and George worked on the radial coordinates. b) As far as z-coord is concerned, Matt had proposed to leave things as they are, since most folks work with higher level objects and do not need to worry about different coordinate systems at the lower levels. The issue originated with nonlinearity corrections for the FCAL but now the FCAL showers work ok. Anyhow, the code is well documented where coordinate systems other than the global one are used.
    4. Sampling fraction: before proceeding on this, we should review production MC plots and look at E vs Egen and extract resolution, etc. Tegan & Zisis will look at these and circulate.
  3. Commissioning Efforts
    1. Effective Velocities and Time Offsets (George): George is on holidays. When he returns he will finish implementing corrections to his report which will be uploaded to DocDB soon.
    2. Time-walk corrections (Noemi)[5]: Noemi implemented Mike's plugin with no difficulty. (Thanks Mike). She will next look at the "goodness of correction", examine regions where the formula (see eq. 6 in GlueX-doc-2618) does not work (seek additional parametrization), vary the threshold from 14 ADC counts to other values, and looking at an iterative correction (one end ADC, other end ADC, etc. Mike will add a table into CCDB containing the 5 relevant t-w correction parameters (see Table 1 in doc 2618). Elton explained the procedure in using a0jk to use a 'typical pulse' reference point so that (smaller) corrections are with respect to this physical value rather than using the value at infinity. This parameter may turn out to be the same for all channels, however, since the gains vary by a factor of 2 this needs to be evaluated. It was decided to leave it in the CCDB table anyway. Mark noted that the c0 parameter may vary from run to run; it is subtracted from the time so this is why it is not in Table 1.
    3. Layer efficiencies (Ahmed) [6]: Ahmed showed plots for the layer efficiency, enhanced efficiency and modified efficiency (e.g., =1.2.3/2 tighter layer 'coincidence'). The modified efficiency is pretty much the same as the normal efficiency. Ahmed will focus on why layer 1 gives different efficiencies for mod7 vs mod8 and will replete his efficiency data separately for each layer as a function of run number.
    4. DigiHits wrap up (Tegan): The 'Digi" effort is compete and the code is checked in.
  4. Reconstruction
    1. Tegan is working on eta reconstruction using DReaction class.
    2. Update (Will M.) [7]: The red points have single-energy hits added. Negative energy is discarded (not used in calculating points but are picked up later in the single-energy recovery) -- these may arise from too much pedestal subtracted (time integration window issue). Black points may have negative energy hist in them. Will stated that there can be hits that are really late but also really early. The latter might fail other criteria. The hits in clusters follow a Δt = +/-8ns window. We should evaluate this to ensure that it is not too tight or to loose (Goldilocks!). Will continues on the single-energy hits studies.
  5. Simulations
    1. Tegan and David are working on the CPPsim software (using GDMP input); the BCAL hits will be entered. The volume 'copy' no (related to module, sector, layer) can be found from the given φ and r values from DBCALGeometry.
  6. Any other business:
    1. Elton discussed F250 issues. The decision on the structure of the new data will be made soon. The peak value is more appropriate than the integral, for small pulses and for the t-w correction. The question debated is whether to add the peak value to higher level objects.
    2. Simon is working on track matching improvement connected to the BCAL and FCAL. He will make a log entry when this has been completed.
