- Announcements
- Aram Teymurazyan has been hired into the department at Regina as the Fedoruk Chair in Nuclear Imaging (starting July 1)
- Action Items
- Orlando has straightened out the issues with the cryptocard and will work on the FCAL pulser system
- FCAL Update
- Hardware (Manuel)
- Hovanes has updated the EPICs IOCs to turn off bases that read above some max voltage (e.g. 2000 V) after verifying the anomalous reading after a preset delay (about 15 s).
- (Jon) Working on a more permanent fix to this problem by updating the firmware with better diagnostics.
- Calibration (Adesh)
- Working on pi0 and electron calibrations.
- Looking for pi0 at lower energy threshold and investigating systematics
- So far charged track showers are included in the samples. Updating software to veto showers connected to charged trcks
- Considering Bfield=0 runs, which may be used to add to the number of pi0s
- Will: Consider adding skim files together into one (using evio_merge_files) to reduce the total number of jobs that need submission
- BCAL is also using qlite files for keeping intermediate values of constants during iterations
- Charged particle showers (Elton)
- Posted some plots on charge track matching to FCAL in Log Entry 3341857.
- There seems to be a cutoff in the momentum (not FCAL shower energy). In conversations with Simon, it may be that this is due to a tracking inefficiency at low angles, which he will investigate. Adesh: Does not see the same cutoff, but requires hits 20 cm < r < 60 cm, which result in apparent cutoff at higher energy.
- The measured width of the FCAL energy in single counters requiring that the momentum lie between 0.975 < p < 1.025 GeV is about 25-30%. Adesh sees widths of order 12%. Elton will redo plots excluding showers close to the beam hole.
- Adesh: Investigates energy in a single block for tracks matching showers. They appear very uniform at about 50% of the momentum.
- The pi0 width is about 11-12% for the spring data. Fall data will be inspected next.
