Agenda

1. Announcements
2. Subdetector Reports
3. Detector Matching (Paul): Run Browser
4. Spring Calibration Plans
5. Simulations
6. AOT

Minutes

Attending: Sean (NU); Simon, Kei, Paul, Lubomir, Will M., Alex B., Justin, Beni, Mike S., Mark D., Elton (JLab); Naomi (CMU); Noemi (Regina)

Subdetector Reports

• FCAL - No news. Sean will follow up and talk to Matt & John Z. about their skimming needs
• BCAL - When Will looks at 900 MeV showers, he gets a pi0 resolution of 9.5 MeV, although it's statistics limited. Mark D. is looking at the corrections in more detail.
• CDC -

Detector Matching

Spring Calibration Plans

Simulations

A few things still need to be looked at before launching a new set of simulations. Sean will organize the next launch when he is at JLab in April.

Proposed Spring Plans

1. Short-term (few days)
   1. Realign detector times
   2. Compare detector performance to fall run
2. Medium-term (~1-2 month)
   1. Check stability of existing calibrations
   2. Improve timing calibrations
      1. Continue TDC commissioning
      2. RF time calibration
      3. Refine timewalk, etc. corrections
   3. Monitor dependence on conditions (gas mix, temperature, etc.)
   4. Calculate luminosity/normalization factor
      1. Using PS - Kei and Simon will talk to Alex about this
      2. Think up alternate method
3. Long-term (summer)
   1. Improve FCAL/BCAL calibrations
   2. Improve detector alignment
   3. Update digitization and smearing in simulation
   4. Update PID calculations (requires understanding uncertainties)
   5. Calculate luminosity/normalization factor using physics channel (e.g. rho photoproduction)
      1. Requires understanding acceptances, efficiencies
