2008 evaluation

Under:

Status: Evaluation of current BFC, no changes to PPV code yet

drawings for the FGT full-size prototype frames, HV layer, and GEM foils, August 11, 2008

Under:

  These are the current drawings for the FGT full-size prototype frames, HV layer, and GEM foils.  

18 Absolute gains, take 2

Under:

 Goal: reco isolated gammas from bht0,1,2 -triggered events

2006

 Details for the 2006 RHIC run (Run 6)

2005

 Details for the 2005 RHIC run (Run 5)

Beam Polarizations

The beam polarization of the proton beams is measured with a set of polarimeters at IP12.
Carbon polarimeters: fast measurement several times during a RHIC fill, two devices per beam

PLOTS - Query Cache

Under:

 Query cache does not seem to help under 150 connections.....

15a ped stability day 47, take 2

Under:

 On August 8, BSMD peds in the offline DB where corrected for day 47.

Runs minb 34 & 74 were used to determine and upload DB peds.

17) Absolute gains , take1

Under:

 Goal: reco isolated gammas from bht0,1,2 -triggered events 

Method: identify isolated EM shower and match BSMD cluster energy to tower energy, as exercised earlier on [node:1176

15 stability of BSDM peds, day 47 is good

Under:

 Peds from run minB 17 were used as reference

Fig1 . pedestal residua for runs 17,29,31

Plots - DB02 old/new Compare

Under:

Penguin Relion 230 vrs. Dell Precision 530 (specs here link to be added....)

Note the different time scales on the Y axis. 

Run 8 trigger planning (Jim Sowinski)

Under:

here are some presentations from the run 8 trigger planning.

14 Eval of BSMDE status tables for pp 2008, day 49,50

Under:

Method:

 from _private_ production w/o zero BSMD suppression we look at pedestal residua for raw spectra for minb events.

study 9b sensitivity at mid rapidity LT=10/pb Pol=50% or 60%

Creating Offline Tables

HOW TO ADD NEW TABLE TO DATABASE:

create a working directory.

4) demonstration of absolute calib algo on single particle M-C

Under:

 Goal: determine absolute calibration of BSMDE,P planes

Method: identify isolated EM shower and match BSMD cluster energy to tower energy

3) same algo applied to full East BSMDE,P

Under:

 

Smd cluster finder with sliding window of 3 strips + one strip on each end (total 5 strips) applied to all 9000 BSMDE,P strips, one gamma per event
