Run12 200GeV Beam Crossing Analysis

Updated on Sun, 2013-05-19 22:11. Originally created by jkadkins on 2013-05-19 22:06.

 The 200GeV beam crossing analysis has been completed. This year I finally wrote up a "how-to" PDF that outlines how to move this process forward for those who haven't done it before. Find it attached.

To start, 1104 runs were recovered from the spin QA process files, given below as SummaryCleanTrans.txt. Of these runs 917 of them had files on disk. It's not apparent why the other 187 runs had no files, but you can browse both sets below are separated out.

These 917 runs were submitted to the scheduler to let the code run over them. The results showed that 894 runs had perfect beam crossings with an offset of 1. Recall that the bx7 spectrum slipped by one during run12 and thus the benchmark beam crossing is 1 for bx7. 

The 23 runs which were deemed "bad" by the code were looked further into. These can be found below in the badRuns.txt file. To be explicit the following runs had noisy spectra as well as a low event count and were thrown out:

13046010
13048001
13049044
13069012

The remaining 19 runs had no events come through into the analysis. The code returned empty bx7/bx48 spectra. I tried running the code over these particular runs again to no avail, still no events coming through. Looking into these on the run log browser it came up that they're all questionable runs with some type of problem. So these runs will also be thrown out of the analysis and won't be uploaded to the databse.

Otherwise the good runs can be found in 2012_200GeV_RunlistFinal below, as quoted there are 894 runs. These will be uploaded to the database very shortly and will complete the beam crossing analysis for run 2012. Jan has completed the 510 GeV run already last year and they were uploaded then.
