2012 W A_L in pp500

Updated on Tue, 2013-11-05 06:02 by zhux. Originally created by rfatemi on 2013-03-10 08:13.
Request TypeSimulated background embedding (generator with real data as background for noise / pile-up studies)
DescriptionThis request will be used to estimate reconstruction efficiencies and background yields from electroweak processes for the Run 12 W analyses.  MC events from Pythia will be embedding in zerobias data from Run 12. 

Target lumi = 1000 pb-1 (roughly 10x Run 12 integrated luminosity)

Channels:
110K  :  W+ ->e+neutrino
110K  :  W+ -> tau+neutrino
35K    :  W- -> e+neutrino
35K    :  W- -> tau+neutrino
25K    :  Z/gamma*-> e+ e-

STAR Conference Room, at 20:00 (GMT), duration : 02:00
Agenda:  

 
LINK TO: Commissioning plan


(1) Summary of commissioning activities / status : Bernd

Done:
  • Documentation for shift crew (Mapping / Gas / HV)
  • APV parameter scans
  • HV scan data
  • Pedestal stability vs. HV status
To-Do:
  • Prepare new HV file to equalize response 
  • Take test run (Fri./Sat.) and interate at least once
  • Switch to 6 time-bins next week on 03/15/13
  • Request 15 time-bin operation for W trigger at the start of PHYSICS, i.e. between 03/08/13 and 03/15/13
  • Participate in physics running with W trigger on 03/08/13 and with full trigger set on 03/15/13
     

(3) APV parameter scan status:

(4) Switch to 6 time bins: Akio
(5) Pedestal stability vs. HV : Devika

(6) Plans for next overnight collision shift: ALL

(1) Summary of commissioning activities
(2) Review of APV chip / APV assembly performance incl. discussion of potential fix / repair

(I will discuss some of these items before with Gerard in the morning!)


- Latency? Are we agreeing on 84 for 15 time bins?
- Phase parameter scan status?
- VFP (Rise time) / VFS (Decay time) / ISHA (Gain)

(4) HV scan status and HV equalization of quarter section response

(5) Switch to 7 time bins 

- Need for latency 'scan' or rather confirmation

(6) Plans for overnight collision shift Thu./Fri.
