At the BLAST meeting today we discussed an agenda for the analysis of
BLAST data. The starting points were that 1) the amount of data is
starting to be overwhelming 2) more detailled analysis have to be carried
out 3) more people should be involved
A summary is presented below:
===============================
_ Analysis topics were divided in groups. Although we run
both V and T states on D2 (note: simultaneously) the most
meaningful division for the analysis is by final state.
_ See attachments for a list of groups and some group-specific
analysis issues. People are welcome. Each student belongs to
minimally two groups or more according to interests. Please let
me know of additions.
_ People in each group take the responsability to be up to date
with the status of the analysis and the details used. Each group
contains a senior person ( i.e. PostDoc)
_ Groups are also responsible of
_ running /procuring their own montecarlo data
_ making sure all right calibrations are used
_ sharing information and agreeing on analysis plans
_ find problems and synchronize with other groups.
_ provide a weekly report
_ Other groups are still working on major topics such as
wch resolution (to improve cuts and background rejection)
recon efficiency (X-section and blastmc comparison)
blastmc (ntuple generation, event generators)
_ We meet every week, after the blast meeting to hear/see updated reports
on the above topics. On a 2 weeks basis we plan on having more extended
meetings with a rotating agenda. The focus will be on ongoin work and
detail problems, via presentation and discussion of results/problems.
Next such meeting is friday 4/23
_ This is a plan for the data analysis, not the online monitoring of data.
Standard routines are provided for both H and D2 running.
_ Not all groups are populated: clearly some analysis have a lower
priority (and no PhD students) and will effectively start after major
breakthroughs have been achieved. Examples: photodisintegration needs
neutrons PID/tof (from ee'n) and (e,e'pi) needs more precise tof tdc
offsets (from e'd)
