[BLAST_ANAWARE] minutes analysis meeting and analysis/software tasks

From: Tancredi Botto (tancredi@mitlns.mit.edu)

reconstruction
===============

_ v3 now being tested at basic level ("hand" check of every new geom
  transformation)
_ implementation will take 1/2 more weeks (cc2 and chi heavily involved)
_ cc2 shows new mag field class, with field in wch coordinates. Uses spherichal
  harmonics to interpolate field. Field is fit from the measured values in a
  cube centered around the desired point. Code is ready but not used yet. Will
  qualify results with a chi2
_ See last week "feature" plan for v3. seems on track. Wang/Chi will check
  in new FF for v2.
_ no news on wch calibrations (Wang/Doug)

analysis
=========

- has anybody done some analysis ?
  Please contact me if you want to do analysis and or have available
  manpower. Here's a list of topics

        _ asymmetry: false asymmetries, fixed spin state runs
        _ neutrons/d2 data
        _ CC eff
        _ tof offsets need to be checked. Are they really off?
        _ cross sections (also study change of target density)
        _ empty target data and background distribution
        _ missing mass and pions
        _ online wch wire efficiency
        _ true t.o.f., timing and pathlenght corrections to tof cut
        _ check of wch calibration

Other Software
==============
_ In addition there is a number of software tasks and we are always in
  need to distribute expertise. Again please contact me.
        _ crunch and filter commands
        _ lrn.C to compiled program (currently editing lrn.C can
          crash crunch jobs in progress)
        _ read scalers from true scaler map
        _ new "control" module in cvs
        _ new features onlinegui (see prev email, add online asymmetry
          display)

- lrn.C/DST: some changes need to implemented in lrn (remove duplicate
  nwl/nwr fields, add eventclass (trigger type) add coda time stamps
  and add spin state charge info.
  Discussion about DST: unclear what is really the way to go. Likely to
  keep lrn and dst separate for a while. Lrn may migrate to branches.
  Note data of this year is rather cleaner than our benchmark 2002 data
  Concern we may have a large backlog by the time we start w/ dst's.

Elogbook
========
- elogbook: sam almost done with automatic runsheet entries (last entries
  are # events/ start-stop time, name of coda configuration).
  Next: queries to db (to retrieve good runs, select runlists) and logging
  into elog.
_ Soon able to switch to full elog. Will require everybody to do it
  consistently of course.
