My blog pages, from first to last:

01/25: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/jan/25/photon-analysis-progress-week-1-21-08-1-25-08.  This post discusses the problem with the spike in secondary tracks at eta=1 in our single-particle simulations.

01/28: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/jan/28/further-qa-plots.  This post has QA plots for every particle sample Ross generated, both in the barrel and in the endcap.

02/01: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/feb/01/more-qa-plots-time-efficiencies.  This post has QA plots for gamma and piminus (barrel and endcap) as well as reconstruction efficiencies.

02/04: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/feb/04/photon-qa-efficiency-plots-error-bars.  This post adds error bars to the reconstruction efficiencies for the photon barrel sample.

02/05: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/feb/05/first-clustering-plots.  This post has the first clustering plots, for muons and gammas (barrel only), showing cluster energy, energy-weighted cluster eta and phi, and the number of seeds and clusters passing the thresholds for each event.

02/12: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/feb/12/preshower-plots.  This post has preshower plots from the gamma barrel sample, but the plots are of all preshowers in the event and use the preshower information generated by the BEMC simulator and so are not useful.

02/13: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/feb/13/more-clustering-plots.  This post has geant QA plots combined with the clustering plots from 02/05 above, but for the gamma and piminus barrel samples.

02/19: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/feb/19/cluster-track-matching-plots.  This post investigates the cluster-to-track matching for the gamma barrel sample, using a simple distance variable d=sqrt((delta eta)^2+(delta phi)^2)) to match clusters to tracks and plotting the resulting energy distributions, the energy ratio, etc.

02/21: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/feb/21/more-preshower-plots.  This post plots preshower distributions but uses the preshower information from the BEMC simulator and so is not useful.

02/28: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/feb/28/further-preshower-plots-not-completed-yet.  Figures 1, 3, and 5 in this post plot the geant preshower energy deposition for gammas, piminuses, and muons (Figs 2, 4, and 6 plot reconstructed preshower information again and so are not useful).

03/04: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/mar/04/muon-preshower-plots.  This post expands on the post of 02/28, with additional plots using the geant preshower information, including preshower cluster energy vs. tower cluster energy.

03/06: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/mar/06/first-physics-cuts.  This post basically recaps the previous post and adds a cut: unfortunately the cut is based partly on the thrown particle energy and so is not useful.

03/18: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/mar/18/smd-qa-plots.  This post plots energy-weighted SMD phi and eta distributions, as well as the total energy deposited in the BSMDE and BSMDP strips located behind a cluster.

03/28: http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/wleight/2008/mar/28/smd-clustering-plots.  This post contains SMD clustering plots for barrel gamma and piminus samples.
