B-EMC calibration readiness for p+p

Talk time : 12:20, Duration : 00:10
Summary of pre-production tasks:

1) SMD/PSD pedestals - we have a student analyzing these. Shouldn't be a problem to have the tables ready for zero-suppressing during production.

2) Tower status tables - goal is to get preliminary, "broad brush" status tables ready. We're in a transition period here and we haven't yet named a new person to do the final status tables for 2006. I contacted one of our newer students the other day; hopefully we can get this task assigned soon.

Calibration status overview for TPC, p+p

BeamLine Constraint

  • Chain has been developed and tested
  • Useful triggers have been identified
  • File list to process has been created
    1. Will process through Tuesday, 16th of May initially to confirm it is going well
    2. Will then process through today
    3. Still some possibility for automating this through the end of the run
  • Processing in progress; should be finished with part 1 within a day or so

SpaceCharge & GridLeak

  • Calibrations using the ppProductionLong dataset from the past couple weeks is underway
  • Increased luminosity has made distortion larger than ever: now seeing primary vertex DCA distortions of close to 2cm!
  • I have been calibrating without a BeamLine constraint, which should hypothetically only smear my DCAs, not bias them...but I want to be sure...
  • Want to verify calibration of SpaceCharge & GridLeak with calibrated BeamLine before DB insertion; time estimate is end-of-this-week
  • Will need to re-calibrate with different beam polarizations/energies

Short in TPC IFC East

  • As Field Cage Shorts, there is a distortion due to an electrical short in the TPC IFC East
  • The excess current has been slowly increasing over the past couple months, so Blair & I decided to increase the compensating resistance today to again reduce the distortion
  • R&D still to be done on how to handle the non-constant excess current for a better calibration

Kapusta talk at UW

.
Joe Kapusta gave a nice UW physics colloqium today.  It was mostly an overview of RHIC physics and current theoretical understandings of what appears to be happening in RHIC AuAu collision. 

Enter TPC gains into database

Under:
The TPC gains file is usually found at

rts02.starp.bnl.gov:/RTS/conf/tpc_gains.txt

Somebody like Tonko or Blair usually announces when a new file has been created on the calib-hn list. To update the database get this file into your working directory. You will also need to get a file RowPadToFEE.txt from, e.g., /star/u/jecc/tpcwrk. Finally you need to run the macro that Fabrice Retiere wrote called MakeGainT0Y4Copy.C, available from, e.g., /star/u/jedd/tpcwrk/StRoot/macros. Usage of this macro is

Miscellaneous TPC calibration notes

The log file for automated drift velocity calculations is at ~starreco/AutoCalib.log.

Log files for fast offline production are at /star/rcf/prodlog/dev/log/daq.

The CVS area for TPC calibration related scripts, macros, etc., is StRoot/macros/calib.
