an EStruct QA object

I built a StEStructQAHists object to do a couple of things:
  • move some QA histogramming from macros into code
  • standardize a suite of histograms always available to final analyses

drupal wishlist

implementing my wish list for drupal-blogs is on hold as computing folks haven't responded. I suspect they are quite busy with the run and collab meeting. Anyway, in case I forget:

centrality in estruct code

Centrality is organized via the StEStructCentrality singleton class which simply maps an array of floats to a centrality binning.
  • The idea is to fill the definitions within a macro so that any of the code can access the definition.

problem running Pythia in ROOT

I went to run pythia within ROOT via TPythia6 (wrapped by EventSTructure pythia reader) taken from libPythia6.so ... it fialed. I checked STAR bugs and found that STAR bug-614 covers this problem. That report says it is a ROOT problem that is not backwards compatible and offers a solution of explicitly loading,

The talk I presented at the STAR Analysis Meeting is included in attachment of this entry.

Feedback from analysis meeting talk

Notes:
  • Jason might see a mach-cone like effect but at 1.3 ~ consistent with my "peak location" plot
Comments:
  • check charge-charge correlations (Sergei)
  • check dcs cut (Claude)

File Catalog Distribution/Replication (phase one: Grid - work around)

This blog is to present, record discussions and ideas regarding the distribution of file catalog database to remote grid enabled sites.
MySQL replication will be used, initially to provide a complete file catalog at each of the sites. The challenge is that each sit will be able to update this catalog, so this information needs to be centrally aggregated and then redistributed to each site as a complete/comprehensive database.

pp400 Calibrations

My current calibration priority is to finish pp400 data. The BeamLine constraint calibration was already done for this data, and no static distortions should be any different from the rest of the pp200 run.

Discussions on StDbLib

The offline database API is a topic of discussion. This BLOG is to enhance understanding, generate documentation, record ideas and present possible improvements for review.
