Minutes
Attending: Sean, Luke (NU); Simon, Adesh, Valery L., Brad, Thomas, Alex A., Eugene, Mark I., Sergey (JLab); Curtis, Mike S., Will M., Naomi (CMU); Matt S. (IU); Alex B., Paul, Beni, Mark D. (BlueJeans land)
- Announcements
- Mark I. announced that there is a test ifarm node running CentOS 7, and that the GlueX software stack has been successfully compiled. Sean ran monitoring_hists over one file, and noticed some tracking problems (reconstruction issue tracking see GitHub issue).
- Reconstruction Launch Readiness
- Paul reported that the monitoring launch started last Friday successfully finished, and there will be one more monitoring launch before the reconstruction launch to make sure the reconstruction looks good.
- New items: Adesh added new FCAL timing calibrations on Monday; Mark Dalton is making some small changes to the BCAL/FCAL covariance matrices.
- Mike S. has the code to perform the updated FDC timing calibrations, he's currently looking at the results for several runs to finalize the procedure for the whole run period.
- A couple other issues were recently brough up. Mahmoud noticed that there is a hole in the SC/track matching, and during the meeting we looked at some real-time results (see GitHub issue). Alex B. pointed out this morning that the timing for some TAGM channels seems to be wrong and he is looking into it.
- Run Planning
- New fADC250 data format As of yesterday, we have cosmic data with the BOR/config information correctly propagated. Sean has been checking the new fADC250 firmware by comparing the reported pulse information and to the emulated information, and has noticed a few problems including a potentially reoccuring problem with integration windows. Follow the sim-recon sdobbs_fadc250emu_updates branch for more developments on this front.
- Naomi has started looking at the fADC125 data without much luck. Beni has been looking at CDC waveforms, and everything looks good except for ~8 channels.
- Mark Dalton has been looking at the BCAL data and working through some issues.
- Adesh updated the FCAL monitoring plugins & his calibration scripts for ROOT 6. So far the new data looks good, except for one bad fADC board.
- We reviewed ROOT 6 progress, and are most of the way there.
- Sean will organize a test calibration run over some of the cosmic data before the next meeting and work on debugging the workflow.
