Runs

  • 2019 Run Spreadsheet
  • FEE Runs: 9371, 9593, 9898, 9899, 9920, 9921, 10097, 10103, 10104, 10716, 10717, 10718


ECAL Calibration Tasks

  • Alignment
    •  based on survey
    •  based on tracking
  • Energy
    •  Gains
      •  Cosmics (Andrea/Luca, ~Oct 15)
        • relative, before and after the run
      •  FEE (Andrea/Luca)
        • dedicated FEE runs, singles triggers
      •  WABs
      •  Muons (Norman)
    •  Sampling fractions
      • energy-dependent, simulation (Andrea)
    •  Position/projection corrections
      • previously simulation based, no track information
    •  Edge corrections (Andrea)
      • based on track-y at ECAL, simulation
  • Time
    •  RF (Nathan)
    •  channel offsets
    •  time-walk
      •  current parameterization should be fine if convergent or cutoff above 2.2 GeV

HODO Calibration Tasks

  • Gains
    • Calculated several time throughout the run, in the database
    • Observed dependence on luminosity, and a tiny bit on time
    • For production runs, a single run from every day (few days) can be used to calculate gains
    • For low-luminosity runs, a single run can be used to calibrate  each
    • About 15-20 file will be needed
    • Format? Either hpstr/DST with hodo information should be available, or I have a simple ntuple that gives necessary information
  • TIme
    • Currently hit time is defined as a threshold crossing time, should we use mode-7 timing algorithm?
  • Alignment
    • Hodo acceptance is covering all the ECal/SVT acceptance
    • Efficiency studies during the run didn't show any efficiency loss close to edges of the calorimeter.

Software Tasks

  • Generate aligned detectors (and track scoring plane(s))
    •  survey-based (Nathan)
    •  track-based
  • Simulation
    •  single-e+/e-/γ events over entire kinematics for corrections
    •  remove 2 dead crystals, e.g. set gains to zero in database
  •  Validating RF extraction
  • Database
    •  Final ECAL gains
    •  Final HODO gains
    •  ECAL Time offsets
  •  Add HODO to particle objects
    •  Time/position HODO-ECAL coincidence
  •  Update ECAL corrections for 2019/4.4 GeV
    •  sampling fraction 
    •  edge shower loss

Meeting Agendas/Minutes

October 1, 2019

  • 2019/2015 survey analysis
  • Task lists, priorities, assignments
    • cosmic gains (Andrea/Luca) and RF (Nathan) are first, ~2 weeks
    • followed by FEE gains (Andrea/Luca) and timing offsets
    • then higher order corrections
    • discussed simulation needs for corrections, added to task lists above

October 15, 2019

October 29, 2019

  • RF
    • found signals in data, looks good, extracting to LCIO
    • looks like old pulse fitting method will still work
  • HODO
  • ECAL
    • scoring plane is shifted in v1 detectors, 5 cm upstream of where it should be
    • survey detector ready in software, to PR
  • Simulations
  • Note, EVIO files for all FEE runs (2.4 TB) are pinned on /cache for 30 days as of 10/27

September 29, 2020

  • MC sampling fraction
    • Andrea implemented the spline correction with resource files on branch iss732, Norman/Nathan will see about wrapping it with the old correction to be called the same from particle creation code 
  • WAB energies for full scale sampling fractions from data
  • gains from muons versus FEE
    • Norman produced muon "gains" in most of the acceptance, Andrea to plot ratio to FEE gains to see if they track in FEE acceptance and can then be used outside FEE acceptance
  • the 5 missing crystals
    • rediscussed that they have poor FEE signals, corrupting the gains of nearby crystals before being removed from the FEE-based calibration, and also poor cosmic signals after the run
    • conclusion was and is that the chance of doing anything useful with them is bad
