This page is to track progress toward goals that were laid out at the May 2007 PID workshop. It is hoped that all goals will be completed by the July 2007 PID workshop. The table below is derived largely from these two pages:


BCAL Items

Task People Progress Notes
BCAL test beam - gain settings/calibration - photon data and cosmics Alex, Blake Ongoing Blake - using M.C. and minimization and Alex using cosmics and energy deposition in layers compared to Blake's simulations
z dependence of energy and time difference resolution Alex, Blake Ongoing Alex is making progress
angular dependence of energy and time difference resolution Alex, Blake Ongoing Blake report on 7/3
resolution in mean time for low energy photons Blake On Hold focus on time dif. resolution, energy and angle first
resolution in mean time for cosmics Christina Ongoing
analysis summary / TRIUMF, cosmic, JLab consistency on detector response Zisis et al. Ongoing July 3 target for draft, working with Alex - see Alex's note
retune BCAL reconstruction / thresholds Mihajlo, Matt, Zisis, Andrei Ongoing needs samp. frac. parameterization
validate/tune standalone MC using beam test data Zisis On Hold priority on analysis writeup?
 

Cherenkov Items

Task People Progress Notes
estimate background rates in the Cherenkov detector Matt and Richard On Hold needs realistic readout in MC?
 

FDC Items

Task People Progress Notes
explore effects of revised geometry on photon efficiency and track momentum resolution Mihajlo, Richard, Dave, Simon, Dan On Hold geometry revisions need validation, Preliminary Report
 

TOF Items

Task People Progress Notes
realistic digitization and response in Monte Carlo Beni Ongoing revised hit structure with more info, report 6/26
connect TOF hits with tracks Beni, Matt On Hold start after above item is finished
 

Full Reconstruction

Task People Progress Notes
unify BCAL FCAL photon and π0 reconstruction Mihajlo Completed
map calorimeter overlap region with high statistics Mihajlo On Hold needs retuned BCAL MC
implement kinematic fitting in analysis framework Matt B. Ongoing photon error matrix done, start with fitting π0 then all neutral events
 

Parametric Studies

Task People Progress Notes
validate use of Pythia for generating generic hadronic backgrounds Elke, Eugene, Alex Ongoing Photoproduction cross sections, Eugene report on 6/26
validate dE/dx is appropriate PID for curlers in the CDC Alex Completed Brief Report
