2010.04.17 BFC and Pythia QA: 10% gain shift: lowered thresholds
See this post from Alice for QCD sample rates with slightly lower thresholds
QCD and gamma-jet data samples are described here (filter parameters are listed below)
Pythia filter configuration
StEemcGammaFilter:: running the TEST mode (accepting all events). Set mFilterMode=1 to actually reject events
StEemcGammaFilter:: mConeRadius 0.22 mSeedThreshold 2.4 mClusterThreshold 3.3 mEtaLow 0.95 mEtaHigh 2.1 mMaxVertex 120
StEemcGammaFilter:: mCalDepth 279.5 mMinPartEnergy 1e-05 mHadronScale 1 mFilterMode 0 mPrintLevel 1
BFC filter configuration
StChain:INFO - Init() : Using gamma filter on the EEMC
StChain:INFO - Init() : EEMC Sampling Fraction = 0.05
StChain:INFO - Init() : Seed energy threshold = 2.8 GeV
StChain:INFO - Init() : Cluster eT threshold = 3.8 GeV
StChain:INFO - Init() : Maximum vertex = +/- 120 cm
StChain:INFO - Init() : Running the TEST mode (accepting all events). Set mFilterMode=1 to actually reject events in BFC
StEEmcSlowMaker
BFC:INFO - setTowerGainSpread(): gain spread: 0; gain mean value: 1.1
