The Monte Carlo samples were used to study background of the hyperon channels and the vertex resolution using different constraints in the kinematic fit.

Notes from the Meeting

  • Richard estimates that a first GEANT4 release will be available early next year.
  • Kei reported on an IU mini data challenge based on 50M bggen events (5000 files); about 5% of the jobs failed. Any hint toward an explanation will be useful for the next large-scale data challenge. The Monte Carlo samples were used to study background of the hyperon channels and the vertex resolution using different constraints in the kinematic fit.
