Minutes

Data Production

  1. Sean reviewed the current status of calibrations. Initial "acceptable" calibrations have been done for the low-rate running, except for a few trigger issues tracked on this wiki page. He is finalizing the calibrations for the high rate running. Higher level calibrations are being steadily completed; he reminded that these should be checked to see if they are stable over the run. Also, the skim jobs are >90% finished.
    • Please let Sean know if any other reconstruction issues need to be fixed before the reconstruction launch, in order to generate physics-quality data.
    • Sean is also organizing help for detector experts to check the results of the monitoring launches. All levels of experience are welcome! Send him an email if you are interested. He also encouraged people to look at results of exclusive reactions on the REST files generated by the monitoring launches.
  2. Justin prepared wiki pages describing the Spring 2017 Dataset and the corresponding Trigger Conditions, and reviewed their contents.
    • It was pointed out that the FCAL HV changes should lead to a difference in the reconstructed energy resolutions, and the TAGM changes shouldn't lead to any changes if the standard software cuts in CCDB are used.
  3. Alex A. launched monitoring jobs over the low-rate data this morning after getting the go-ahead from Sean. The plan is to launch the high-rate runs tomorrow.
    • Sean laid out proposed milestones for finalizing calibrations and producing data in an email on Friday; they are listed in the agenda. Mike S. pointed out that once the tracking alignment is finalized, we will want to do a final production of the Spring 2016 data. Depending on when this is finalized, we will work that production into the schedule.

Analysis Focus: Total Cross Sections

  1. Simon presented a look at omega cross sections using 5 files from one amorphous run, and using the energy of the reconstructed omega -> pi+pi-pi0 decay instead of any tagger information. The resulting cross sections were generally within ~10% of the expected cross section in the PS energy range. A next step will be to look at the REST files from the new monitoring launch where the tagger is properly calibrated.
  2. Thomas is making progress on the simulation front; this was discussed in some detail at this morning's Offline Software meeting.

Studies: Other

  1. Paul showed the updates on the latest iteration of the track/hit matching cuts and how they look in the standard monitoring histograms. There have been many improvements and some features that are not entirely understood, however more detailed studies should be done by the detector groups to optimize these cuts and determine the correct efficiencies.
  2. Beni showed some results on the stability of the TOF ADC peak amplitudes over the last run. The distributions were smoothly varying, with well-understood features, compared to the Spring 2016 run period, when they were varying wildly from run to run.
