Minutes

Data Production

  1. Thomas reports that the monitoring looks good.
  2. Alex A. reported that ETA for the last reconstruction jobs was Monday, but network problems in the CC delayed finishing. Additionally, we had hit the pin limit on the cache disk, this was slightly extended to let jobs run again. The batch sits at 80% completion and should take ~3 more days to finish.
  3. Paul reported that the listed decay modes seem to work fine except for a couple modes with multiple pi0's, which he is working on debugging. Then he can run comprehensive tests with all final states running, determine needed job resource limits, etc.
  4. Sean reported that planning continues for the Fall run. He hopes to add more plugins for calibration-related skims. Please send him any suggestions for channels/skims that you'd like to have.
  5. Sean has been running some first "official" simulation batches on JLab and the OSG. The JLab jobs are currently running, having slipped in while the reconstruction jobs were held up. Sean and Richard have been steadily working on OSG issues, and as of after this meeting have a stable environment in which to run. He is currently running some bggen events, and plans to also run an omega sample. He will send an email around when files are available.
    • He also updated the list of mcsmear work to the best of his knowledge - anyone can feel free to update it themselves. We'll plan to have subsystem updates on Aug. 9th and 16th. Sean will contact the relevant parties on scheduling.
    • Mahmoud reported that he is finishing the attenuation corrections and will get to comparing efficiencies after this, likely next week.
    • Beni reported that he took an initial comparison of data/MC efficiencies for TOF points, and had better agreement than expected, with efficiencies around 90%. The main problem is that when you get near the beam hole, the efficiency in data drops by ~15%.

Analysis Focus: Total Cross Sections, Acceptance Corrections

  1. Thomas reported that after fixing his efficiency calculations, he sees better agreement between his phi->K+K- cross sections and the phi -> eta gamma results. He is currently trying to understand some of the unphysical-seem point-to-point variations.
    • He also needs to check the t-slope used in his simulations and add the correct angular distributions to them. Richard pointed out that using realistic SDMEs can give a change of ~30% in acceptance.
  2. Mike is still trying to understand the difference in PARA and PERP SDME results.
