BEMC in HF Pico DSTs for 2014

In the slides attached labeled RReedHFPico_06252015.pdf, I post my concerns with a quick look at the BEMC in the heavy flavor Pico DSTs.

The main point can be seen in these plots:

KFParticle variables in D0 simulation

1. Irakli, to finilize ALTRO threshould studies. To send a formal conclusion to spokesman. 

Talk here:  http://www.star.bnl.gov/~iraklic/myPresentations/2015-09-23-AltroThresholdOptimization.pdf

2. Hongwei, 2014 AuAu200, Sti versus StiCA comparsion. The progress report.

3. pp510 Sti and StiCA samples. To create these samples it is needed ~2 weeks and ~10 TB.

 Disk space (~10TB) can be  borrowed from pwg_task  for ~3 month. Aihong has contacted Frank. 

4. In October we expect Ivan Kisel and a few students from Frankfurt/GSI to be at BNL.

By this time we need  to prepare the AuAu200 and pp510  samples with KFVertex which will be evaluated by the team.

We also need  MC samples

 a.    AuAu200  (with pile up ?)  

 b.    pp510 with pile up (~10 MHz)

I suggest we discuss the action needed to finish the DOE quarterly requirements, i.e. effeciency with SSD includedin tracking (simulations).
I think we are close but we should discuss what specific plots/actions are needed.

 EVO Info at the bottom 

--------- SST (Jonathan will give us an update)

— We need to finalize the full simulations with SST included. From Jason’s QA it looks fine, but we need to do the sim. with pile-up included so the final SST sim can be presented to DOE in October. 

— code not in CVS? What is the status on this?

— follow up with discussions with S&C (Jonathan)?

-- Alignment calibration is one pending item. I know Jonathan is working on this and he commented he would need help from Michael or Alex on the alignment codes. We may see the progress on this part.


-------- RUN15 calib.

- We discuss this at LBL. It would be good to run through responsibilities and timelines. What is missing to do this.

Notes: Sanshiro is making good progress on the PXL internal alignment. Should we expect a report probably next week?

— Embedding. With Mustafa preparing the QM probably less activity here until end of Sept. Also now there is an issue with the TPC simulator (an RT ticket is opened) which shows differences between ideal simulation and embedding in the projection residual. With this smearing, we probably won't see the impact of the HFTHitMover to the sensitivity level we will be looking to. Any other updates?
