Files for 2Dec Group Meeting

I've attached three files to be discussed at the group meeting here at MIT. 

Z studies

 I've been looking at Z events in the W sample.  

The following cuts are applied:

Pre-embedding QA for W analysis: Calorimeters

12/2 Update

The problem I was having with using the StEmcCollection vanished as mysteriously as it came, but at least my code is working now, so here are some plots that would have gone into my presentati

2009.12.01 BEMC 1x1, 2x1, 2x2, 3x3 clustering

Monte-Carlo setup:

Geometry Differential: y2006g + ECALv6 versus y2006g + ECALv6 + TPCE04

Abstract: The latest version of the TPC geometry is TPCE04.  This geometry changes important features in the TPC structure, which account for ~1000 lbs.

Neutral Dijet Analysis: BBC/VPD Vertex Investigation

BBC / VPD Vertex Investigation

Creating a Dijet Filter for 2009

It should be substantially easier to create a dijet filter for the 2009 simulation than an inclusive jet filter.
