Physics coordinator report¶

Status of papers¶

• Demo paper (JB Lagrange) - new draft received yesterday; would like to read through before distribution to collaboration.
• Emittance paper (V Blackmore) - preliminary plots uploaded to publications area for ICHEP; VB has been on vacation since last week
• Scattering paper (R Bayes) - preliminary plots uploaded to publications area for ICHEP; bias introduced by misalignment checked and looks small; now looking at bias introduced by TOF vs momentum

Analysis of 2016 data¶

• Detector alignment has been processed (Drielsma) (see CM45 discussion)
• FC alignment (Rogers) - running job list:
  • First pass analysis on all of the 2016/02 data
  • Many cuts and biases have already been studied
  • Added estimate of statistical errors
  • Looked at momentum reconstruction bias using TOF12
  • Generated full Rogers MC data set but not analysed
    • No production data set available
  • Needs reconstruction incl. detector alignment (and this is blocking)
• Combined SSU and SSD analysis has not been analysed
  • Vacations and conferences have been rife

Planning for 2016/03¶

• First pass list of magnet settings determined
• Drielsma is looking at bias introduced on RMS emittance change by scraping; seems significant; alternative analyses under study (Drielsma, Mohayai)
