At Jan's suggestion, I hacked the pedestal file that the database sees and manually set all the ped values to zero.

Installing tex4ht under cygwin?

I came across the famous tex4ht, a highly configurable TeX/LateX to other format converter and tried to install itunder cygwin on my laptop.

In the course of working on BSMD/BPRS speed-up I have noticed why there are these unusual bands in the upper approximately half of the BSMD/BPRS spectra.

valgrind 

 I got valgrind on a macbook pro (oeit edition) using the following commands:

sudo port sync
sudo port install wget

"Measurements of Quark Transversity through the Collins Mechanism in Mid-Rapidity Jets in p↑p Collisions at STAR"

One of the problems which came to light when comparing the diagnostic histos from L2jet for real data vs simulation was that the jet energy for the real data was muc

I have expanded my BPRS monitoring code to include the BSMD.  For each of the BPRS, BSMDE, and BSMDP, the code takes as inputs 2d histograms plotting pedestal-subtracted ADC vs.

Using the 2006 QCD simulation jet trees, I associated jets found in the pythia record with jets found in the geant record. I then plotted true Pt vs reco Pt.
