06 comparison of BTOW status bits L2ped vs. L2W , pp 500 (jan)

 Comparison of BTOW status tables generated based on minB spectra collected by L2ped ( conventional method) vs. analysis of BHT3 triggered , inclusive spectra.

  1. Details of the method are given at BTOW status table algo, pp 500 run, in short status is decided based on ADC integral [20,80] above pedestal.
  2. the only adjusted param is 'threshold' for  Int[20,80]/Neve*1000. Two used values are 1.0 and 0.2.
  3. For comparison I selected 2 fills: F10434 (day 85, ~all worked) and F10525 (day99, 2 small 'holes' in BTOW) - both have sufficient stats in minB spectra to produce conventional status table.
  4. Matt suggested the following assignment of  BTOW status bits (value of 2N is given)
    • good -->stat=1
    • bad, below thres=0.2 --> stat=2+16 (similar to minB  cold tower)
    • bad, below thres=1.0 --> stat=512 (new bit, stringent cut for dead towers for W analysis) 
    • stuck low bits --> stat=8 (not fatal for high-energy response expected for Ws)
    • broken FEE (the big hole) in some fills, soft ID [581-660] --> stat=0

 

Fig 1. Fill F10343 thres=1.0 (red line)

There are 108 towers below the red line, tagged as bad. Comparison to minB-based tower QA which tagged 100 towers. There are 4 combinations for tagging bad towers with 2 different algos. Table 1 shows break down, checking every tower. Attachments a, b show bad & good spectra.

Table 1, Fill F10434,
QA thres=1.0
  minB=ok minB=bad
BHT3=ok 4692 0
BHT3=bad 8 100
QA thres=0.2
  minB=ok minB=bad
BHT3=ok 4696 0
BHT3=bad 4 100

 

Conclusion 1: some the additional 8 towers tagged as bad based on BHT3 spectra are either very low HV towers, or optical  fiber is partially broken. If those towers are kept for W analysis any ADC recorded by them would yield huge energy. I'd like to exclude them from W analysis anyhow.   

To preserve similarity to minB-based BTOW status code Matt agreed we tag as bad-for-everybody all towers rejected by BHT3 status code using lower threshold of 0.2. Towers  between BHT3 QA-thresholds [0.2,1.0] will be tagged with new bit in the offline DB and I'll reject them from W-analysis if looking for W-signal but not necessary if calculating the away side ET for vetoing of away side jet.

  

 

Table 2, Fill F10525, 2 'holes' in BTOW
QA thres=1.0
  minB=ok minB=bad
BHT3=ok 4653 1
BHT3=bad 19 127
QAthres=0.2
  minB=ok minB=bad
BHT3=ok 4662 2
BHT3=bad 10 126

 

Spectra are in attachment c). Majority of towers for which this 2 methods do not agree have softID ~500 - where this 2 holes reside (see 3rd page in PDF)

Tower 220 has stuck lower bits, needs special treatment - I'll add detection (and Rebin()) for such cases.

 

Automated generation of BTOW status tables for  fills listed in Table 3  has been done, attachment d) shows summary of all towers and examples of bad towers for all those fills.
