Minutes

Present:

• CMU: Will Levine, Paul Mattione, Curtis Meyer
• IU: Ryan Mitchell, Kei Moriya, Matt Shepherd (chair)
• JLab: Mark Ito, David Lawrence, Dmitry Romanov, Simon Taylor, Elliott Wolin, Beni Zihlmann

Announcements

• digitizations will be needed to make simulated data for online testing, need to start discussion • elliott will write up requirements for this

Igor, richard is working on the code, need a report from him,

database, magnetic field maps

panda central tracking tdr, curits linked to agenda

simon: chisq problems, track finding stage, could be improved forward direction number of candidates with wrong charge hypothesis, chisq of fit is bad mark: may be a marker, not a cause

Will, BCAL, doing ok for single photon events, moving toward 1234 segmentation, work in progress

1234 can be changed easily, matt, calibration may not be correct, geometry file to change segmentation

Paul, item 5, wiki page • uncertainties on bcal fcal tof • single photon, pion events • compare reconstructed vs generated

need convention for time reported for all detectors, inner radious, front face

tracking simon pid paul photon matt

brainstorm

many more reconstructed

0 - 10.5 degrees

big overshoot at downstream end of bcal Beni's b1pi wiki page

number of protons, reconstruction efficiency seems very low compared to pi + at angle of 30 see same amount of protons and pions

will thinks taht the problem was not as bad a few months ago

new segmentation for the bcal

overall reconstruction in b1pi

cause of complete failure of track fitting and finding

particle id timing shift in time of flight timing shift in fcal

paul will present a design for how tof beni present hermes scheme

mark will add items to list conveners will organize the list
