Calibration Status
Sasha showed plots illustrating one of the difficulties he is having with the outer counters of the detector. For front-back coincidences, he shows x determined by the known location of the counter in the back plane vs x determined by time difference in the front plane. For module 19 in the front, near the middle of the array, the correlation is clear and time difference easy to calibrate. For module 0 at the edge the statistics are much less and there are a lot more uncorrelated hits.
Sasha is still formulating a plan for calibration of the short paddles. Since they are in the middle of the array, their occupancy is high and calibrating them is important.
TOF Reconstruction Performance
Sean showed some plots showing widely varying charged-track matching efficiency with charged tracks for two nearby runs from the Fall run. Even for the "good" run the match efficiency is not so great. For the "bad" run, there are very few good TOF hits from the hit factory to begin with. Beni thought that this might be due to the entire time frame shifting between runs due to trigger changes. If so it emphasizes the importance of keeping track of trigger changes, especially where the timing is affected.
