Minutes

Announcements

  • There are some outstanding issues with the room reservation for this meeting. Paul M. can address this when he's back tomorrow.

Data Production

  1. Sean gave an update on calibrations. Essentially all calibrations for the first production launch are in. Higher-statistics calibrations done by Mark Dalton have significantly improved the BCAL time resolution. One final monitoring launch is needed for final checks.
    • Sean and Alex A. are working in consultation with Sandy to avoid Lustre usage problems at JLab.
  2. Alex A. updated on the status of data processing.
    • The good half of the spring 2016 data has been processed as "ver04". An analysis launch was immediately done for the spring 2016 data, which finished except for 2 jobs, which are currently being finished.
    • Another spring 2017 monitoring launch was started today, hopefully it will finish before the CC outage tomorrow.
    • Mark I. brought up that he had anecdotally heard that the current reconstruction ran a factor ~3 slower than previously. Simon had been looking into this, and replied that part of the difference was that we are reconstructing 8 particle hypotheses now instead of 8, but with the current alignment and calibration, we are also throwing away fewer tracks than we had before.
  3. Curtis showed a quick comparison of the eta pi+ pi- final state between ver03 and ver04 of the Spring 2016 data. After at 10% kinematic fit CL cut, there are ~30% more events in the ver04 data.
    • Simon stated that this agrees with the increased number of reconstructed tracks that he saw.

Analysis Focus: Total Cross Sections

  1. Simon reported that Thomas and he agreed on a looser kinfit CL cut of 10^-5 to compare their results. He is currently studying the results of simulations to understand the efficiencies with this cut.
  2. Thomas showed some intermediate results on his phi -> K+K- cross sections from Spring 2016, which include an improved treatment of the tagger. The cross sections vary more gradually, although there still appears to be an issue with the TAGH/TAGM boundary. He is looking into the reason for the lower cross sections at higher energy and will look at the new reconstruction of the data.
    • Matt suggested to use realistic angular distributions for the phi, which could make a large difference in this channel.
    • Sean suggested to look into using an average TOF inefficiency for simulation to better match data.

Studies: Hit Efficiencies

  1. Alex Austregesilo compared FDC psuedohit efficiencies between the two reconstruction passes, and found that the overall efficiency stayed near 90%, but varied more evenly over packages.
    • Sean suggested to check these with simulations. Alex A. reminded that we need better handling of cathode half strips in simulation.
  2. Elton reported that Mark D. is working on updating calibrations for the simulation with the same procedures used on the data.
  3. Jon is working on updated shower efficiencies for next week. He mentioned that he sees ~3x more combinations in his omega -> 3pi w/ missing photon analysis in the latest reconstruction.
    • Matt reminded us that he has a new graduate student at work using the LED data to obtain block-level efficiencies.
