Agenda

  1. HCal Energy Calibration Update -> Vimukthi Gamage

Attendance

Kate, Vimukthi, Gordon, Alexandre, Arun, Bogdan, Braian, Faraz, Hunter, Huong, Jack, Jacob, Jimmy, Jiwan, Nilanga, Silviu, Todd, Vladimir

Minutes

  • correspondence between energy in HCal and sampling energy - use elastics to calibrate HCal
    • Andrew previously showed some issues with HCal [1]
  • should sampling fraction be set up at 1? From simulation, we get this 10% value
  • We have no H2 with magnet off
  • We have clean tracks
    • more plots to show track quality would be good - v_z from SBS would be nice to see
    • W^2 would also be useful
  • resolution is down to 40% as expected from this detector
  • If HCal HV is the same then theoretically the gain coefficients can stay the same
    • make sure to track HV changes and make sure the calibrations are corrected each time
    • check with Jiwan to see when HV was changed
  • if there is a small change in HV there may not be enough data to properly correct for this small change
    • we need more cross checks for this
    • He3 data can help with this
  • W^2 plot shows that QE events are currently barely visible, so we need more optimized cuts and calibrations

General Notes:

  • We need to get QE peak looking more clear
  • Continue to work on timing calibration
    • pick a "master" block to align all the other blocks to
    • what is the time resolution of an individual block on HCal? ~1ns?
  • should we exclude all W^2 < 0?
    • include a E/p cut?
