1. Operations, Alarm Test Report - Xiaozhi
2. DB Update and Run14 Data QA - Yaping
3. Run15 Chip Status - Bingchu
4. A.O.B.
5. Minutes - Zhenyu

Minutes:
Attendance: Bingchu, Xiaozhi, Zhenyu (Yaping sent slides by email)

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

2. Software - Bingchu

Minutes: 
Attendance: Bingchu, Xiaozhi, Zhenyu

Operations: leak rate in the cooling system 0.9% per day, new O-ring received but color is black.
Ask Bob to contact the pump company, which replied that these O-rings are EPDM. 

Software: Bingchu updated online QA istBuilder to read the latest pedestal file and ist_bad_apv.txt

1. Operations - Xiaozhi
2. Calibration - Yaping
3. Software - Bingchu
4. A.O.B.
5. Minutes:

Attendance: Bingchu, Xiaozhi, Yaping, Zhenyu

Operations: Xiaozhi
1) Leakage in cooling system fixed by replacing an O-ring in bypassing valve in the pump. Need to follow up with Bob/Gerrit on replacing the O-ring in the other pump once new O-rings are received.
2) Test on IST alarms planned
 
Calibrations: Yaping
1) Geometry table for Run14 updated per Mustafa's request - last Friday
2) Start working on Run14 pre-production data quality check - this Wednesday
3) Need to document the calibration procedure in Run14 - time scale not decided

Software: Bingchu
1) Online HFT monitoring updated - need to check it gives the same results as the old setup
2) One hot chip RDO = 6, ARM = 4, APV = 14, was masked out in Run14, and reactivated in summer 2014. Yaping will check the ped/rms of this chip
3) Will work on the documentation of software based on the latest version of Yaping's write-up 
 
 

Run 15 Tests 1

The following is the distribution of the sum of ADC counts  for run 16049006 and short trigger test  runs 16050060, 16050061,  16050062.

DIS 2015 Abstract

HFT Hits Simulation

Quick test of HFT hits in simulation.  Produce 1 MuDst, 16 events, AuAu 200 GeV, y2014a geometry.

Run 15 FMS Readiness Update (day49)

This was an LED run taken after installing the final new PSU bases. Note that three cells in the upper north corner remain to be stacked.

Run15 pp 200 GeV beam position check

 As of Feb. 17, the pp200 GeV beams seem not colliding in the center of PXL detector. See the online hit density plot which shows a wave similar to the early days in Run14 AuAu 200GeV.
