Minutes¶

Attendees: Chris H, Paul J, Chris R, Ajit K, Durga R, Joe L, Tom L, Viktor P, Scott W, Craig B

Comments:

• Include beamline in theory section
• Start thinking about how MC geometry will converge at CM
• Ajit and Craig to collaborate RE: LH2 Density systematic
• Do we extrapolate to absorber or use tracker reference planes to make measurement?

Round Table:

• Tom
  • Target geometry improvements looking good, although surveys hard to find
  • MARS is computationally expensive
  • Results at CM
• Durga
  • New MAUS versions and calibrations for TOFs comming soon
  • Funky ADC distirbutions are fixable - just need to identify correct runs
  • Data-MC Discrepancy still stands - needs more work
• Chris
  • MC geometry seen several updates coming to a release soon
• Craig
  • Wedge analysis looks good
  • Possibly apply similar analysis to LH2 shape
  • Need to look at LH2 density/thickness systematics
• Ajit
  • Improving LH2 MC geometry
  • Is the absorber symmetric?
• Scott
  • E-Loss analysis on track
  • Want to use measurements in the analysis/MC Geometry
• Joe
  • Field map formatting tricky
  • Will be able to produce field maps for runs soon
• Chris H
  • Basic beam selection is done
  • 4D beam selection is difficult
• Paul J
  • Some discrepancies between MC, Data and Optics model
  • Aim to model optical heating
• Chris R
  • Track matching works
  • Reverse extrapolation of downstream tracks still missing
• Chris H
  • Field integrated kalman filter is implemented but not debugged/tested
  • Low-pt tracks treatment might be faster/more practical - needs looking at

AOB:

• Workshop will be quite informal - a lot is covered by System performance paper
• Should focus on determining standard Data sets and cuts, etc.
