0. News - Zhenyu
contribution from TB0 hits reduced after VPDMB-5cm trigger fix, as expected. In order to meet 1B VPDMB-5cm goal, will increase VPDMB-5 bandwidth, and turn on HFT
 earlier in store. Run14 full pre-production completed, need IST QA (Yaping). Run14 full cosmic data production completed, need IST gain calibration (Bingchu). Run15 pre-view production produced, check IST efficiency (Yaping).

1. Operation Results - Xiaozhi
60% cooling reservior level, 30-40% in 3-4 weeks. will info Bob in advance
Wait for a few more days before asking John again about the network interfaces
Define a reference run for online QA plos, after Bingchu updates istBuilder

2. Calibration and Run14 Data QA - Yaping
Ticket 3052 fixed. Will follow up with ticket 3056
Run14 full pre-production completed, will produce run-dependent QA plots (number of IST
 hits vs run number). Will try to understand the reduction of number of IST hits in certain sensors in certain runs (pedestal shifts or ?) Will plot Max ADC time bin distributions to verify no trigger problem.
Will run IST efficiency tool on Run15 data to check IST efficiency

3. Software and Run15 Data Checking - Bingchu
  a. found the issue of many hits in frist timebin, it is due to vpdmb wrong TACs. Trigger group has fixed it by set the min VPD TAC to 300.
  b. IST in HFT online monitoring webpage has one more QA pdf link of IST raw adc distribution for each run. 
  c. Online istBuilder will be implemented soon. I will update it with a new algorithm of bad channel rejection.

5. Minutes:
Attendance: Bingchu, Xiaozhi, Zhenyu
 
No call from the control room last week. Time bin changed from 9 to 5 on Feb 18. 
Disabled APV 6/2/0-3, 7-11 on Feb 20. Together with the recent updates to istBuilder,
the summary plots for IST online QA become much more useful. Xiaozhi agreed
to examine these plots and the IST slow control archives on a daily basis. 
 
Bob Soja replied that the Pump company confirmed the new O-rings they sent
were EPDM. Bob confirmed that he would replace the O-ring in Pump 1 at the
next time when the reservoir needs to be refilled, likely in 4-5 weeks from now.
 
Bingchu reported his new findings with Run15 data, in particular the investigation
into max ADC Time Bin=0 hits, after offline reconstruction. A clear correlation is 
observed between the number of IST hits with TB>0 and number of TOF matched 
tracks, while no correlation is seen between the number of IST hits with TB=0 and 
number of TOF matched tracks. He will make additional plots and comparing
begin-/end-of fill runs to further understand what is going on.

1. Operations, IST Alarm Test (Xiaozhi)
1) No issue on IST operations, first collisional data taken with IST today 9-11am today.
2) Went through the IST online QA plots together with Bingchu and Zhenyu. 
3) IST power supply and cooling alarm tests successful. A test report posted.

Action items: 
1) Make sure to understand all the QA plots. 
2) Complete the alarm test report with when the alarms are cleared during the test procedure.

2. Run15 Ist Chip Status in Online QA (BIngchu)
1) Chip 6/1/14 and 6/4/14 show as hot chips. Checked the data in pedestal and cosmic runs. Wonder why both IST/zs and IST/adc data chunks exist in st_adc_ files.

Action items:
1) ask Tonko about st_adc_ files - Answer is yes. Both chunks exist
2) plot raw adc distritributions in cosmic data and compare with those in pedestal runs

3. Run15 database and Run14 Data QA (Yaping)
1) Run15 databases are initialized, 6 pedNoise tables uploaded.
2) Run14 pre-production QA plots made. 

Action items:
1) understand why sensors 49-54 have zero hits in day 166 and 167 in Run14
2) understand fluctuations of some ladders in online QA plots in Run14
