[BLAST_ANAWARE] minutes meeting 03/05/03

From: Tancredi Botto (tancredi@mitlns.mit.edu)
Date: Wed Mar 05 2003 - 12:14:12 EST


Present: TB, DH, KD, TL, CC, PK

topics: cvs/libBlast - online monitor - wch - analysis

* Status of libBlast/cvs:
        _ We have a v3 tag for the montecarlo code and a v2_xx tag for
         reconstruction. This montecarlo has the new geometry definitions
        from AM and is ready to become an official version.
        _ LibBlast is at version 2 to allow for more reconstruction work/test.
        Version 3 will reflect the new geometry definitions but it will not
        be available before the run

        _ Before the run CC will tag a pro version so you should not worry
        about version numbers anymore to stay in sync. Look for announcements.

        _ SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT: we should aim at more backward compatibility.
        and avoid some of the confusion of last year. Please test your code
        with MC and data before submitting

* Discussion about the online monitor system.
        _ We will have two main consoles (with large screens) and 4 panel mounted
        displays just above them. Display are for display only, such as vital epics
        info (beam, target, hv) and data "quality". For the latter we could use
        nsed+ a cycle of root canvases. For the scalers we should display a summary
        (probably also out of root). Doug has a wch quality script. Other scripts can
        essentially be "raw_xxx" type of scripts.
        _ The two consoles will serve for usual control stuff (coda, scalers,
        trigger) as well as elogbook (and of course virtual desktops..)

* Wch status:
        _ TL reports progress with his code. Working on improvements that
        will likely increase the tracking efficiency (right now 70%).
        _ Of course we don't really define efficiency here..
        _ Garfield calculations (lorentz angle correction) are currently
        filling up the spuds.

* Analysis:
        _ CC lazy fitter is "almost" ready. This uses no swimming and
        simple fitting algorithm. The current version use the p%theta
        relationship for ep elastic but CC is working to change that.

        _ To have z,theta,p,.. in your ntuple then you need to crunch
        data with lrn.C. Use "root lr.C run#" to load in root via init.C
