Elog, CDB, and Reconstruction

Elog entries are ok.

CDB uploaded ok with the exception of runs 9709, 9722, 9731, 9746, 9748, 9753.

Online reconstruction is ok with the exception of runs 9709, 9722, 9731, 9734, 9746, 9748, 9751, 9753.

TKD had poor effeciency, and there were very few tracks, in particular in Station4 (see SciFiReduce_TKD_triplet_xy.png).

This feature has been identified and reported by C. Rogers (https://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/analysis/wiki/2017-09-23_physics-shifter). It has been appearing in runs 9683-9692 and the experts have now fixed it (see SciFiReduce_TKD_triplet_xy_9733.png).

The issue with the 9740 live TOF space point reconstruction (see TofReduce_tof_spx-9740.png) seems to have been fixed.

Analysis

C. Rogers noticed a bump in the TKD momentum at ~ 50 MeV/c (below) in run 9726 (red is all particles, black is muons in tkd_p.png).

The PzvsPt of the same run is in PzvsPt_2.png (muons only). A. Dobbs believes this to be a reconstruction issue (particularly for the new MAUS v-3.0.0).
