Run 10 Calibration Status (2010-06-21)
Production of the 7 and 11 GeV data sets are held for two issues:
1) Assement of TPC voltage status table (1-2 days)
1.2) Correcting voltage status tables
2) Readiness of PMD Calibrations
Production of 7 and 11 GeV will begin as soon as possible.
TPC
- 7 and 11GeV: Voltage status tables need to be QA'ed and updated (serveral weeks).
-
- Low energy datasets (39, 11, 7 GeV)
- Alignment work completed
- Timing shift (seems related to drift velocity) issues observerd in RFF data of order 1.5 mm. Not resolving for preliminary calibrations
- Run 9 twist calibration appears sufficient as preliminary for Run 10
- dE/dx from 39 GeV provide the current preliminary calibration, with resolution of ~7.0-7.5%, but may be off in scale by 1-2% (aging) over the whole low energy period
- Minimal SpaceCharge + GridLeak correction in the 39 GeV data; preliminary calibration is probably good enough for final
- High energy datasets (200, 62 GeV)
- Generally the same issues as low energy except:
- Preliminary SpaceCharge + GridLeak calibs are in place
- Tests for using TOF matching to eliminate pile-up are ongoing
- Separate alignment for FF (200 GeV), calibrating concurrently with RFF (all energies)
- No observed timing shift in FF (200 GeV)
- Preliminary dE/dx for 200 GeV in place
- No preliminary dE/dx calibration for 62 GeV (maybe only final calibration will be needed if production is a low priority)
- After final T0 and Alignment (many weeks from now), will probably need to re-calibrate (at least re-evaluate):
- Twist
- SpaceCharge + GridLeak
- dE/dx
- Low energy datasets (39, 11, 7 GeV)
PMD
- 62 and 39 GeV data sets: calibration completed
- The quality of the calibration for 7 and 11 GeV data set were not satisfactory. Will use results from the 39 GeV calibration for the lower energy levels.
- Production request for 200 GeV calibration has been made and completed and are awaiting calibration completion. (2-3 weeks)
EMC
- Status tables for BEMC (used by vertex-finders for matching tracks) are preliminary only
- Run 9 gains serve as preliminary for Run 10
- Needs checked with a large data sample (~5M events?) once TPC is calibrated
- Likely use whatever sample TOF uses for their final calibrations
- Need a volunteer to take this task
TOF
- Initial Calibrations are complete
- Awaiting final TPC Calibrations to complete final TOF calibrations
BeamLine
- Calibration for the 39GeV data as been completed. Results will be uploaded to DB soon and production of st_upc files will begin soon.
- 200GeV and 62GeV beamline calibration is not ready to begin.
- No upc data in 7 and 11 GeV. Study whether a beamline calibration could help vertex-finding efficiency in peripheral AuAu @ 7 GeV
FTPC
- Calibrations completed
