DELETE - Run 9 BSMD Status Update 6 (5/4)

Under:

As Matt says that the maximum status is 255, I have dropped the old status bit 5 as (it was unused).  Also, I have loosened the dead strip cuts based on looking at module 55 (see pages 203 or 205 in the attached crate1.pdf, for instance).  The status bits are now as follows:

Bit 2: Bad pedestal peak/multiple pedestal peaks.

Bit 3: Pedestal peak has bad sigma, sigma<1 or sigma >15

Bit 4: Chi squared value from gaussian fit is greater than 1000 (this applies only for strips that do not have bad status 2 already)

Bit 5: The ratio of the integral of channels 300-500 to the total integral does not fall between .0005 and .02

Bit 6: The ratio of the integral of channels 500-800 to the total integral does not fall between .0002 and .02

Bit 7: The ratio of the integral of channels greater than 800 to the total integral does not fall between .0002 and .02

Below is a plot of status vs. eta and phi for BSMDE and BSMDP strips.  Note that strips with all three of bits 5, 6, 7 bad (generally, dead strips) are given the value 8 in this plot to distinguish them from strips that may have just one of those bits bad.  As some strips may have more than one bad status bit, for clarity I ranked the potential bad statuses in the order 2, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 (i.e., approximately in order of importance) and plotted for each strip only the highest-ranked status.

 

Additionally, I found a problem I had not seen before.  On page 207 of the attached crate1.pdf you can see that in the L2W data some strips have a large peak out in the tail of the ADC distribution.  However, as all these strips are caught by my code it's not a serious problem.
