run 7 : K0s inv mass signal-to-noise and significance vs. St cut

The idea is to look at the cut St = dca /σ (track significance) but for all possibilities (silicon hits = 0 to silicon hits =4)

Acceptance Effects

 

For flat distribution Input A =0.03 = Output A=0.0299584 %diff =0.138696

For PhiC = 0 or 180 Input A =0.03 = Output A=0 %diff =100

Windows 7 (Vista) ReadyBoost, Prefetch and Superfetch

On spare times, I started to look into Windows 7 (Vista) new features on using caching on faster storage device (ReadyBoost) and also tried to understand what Prefetch and Superfetch does.

Bug in TPCEGEO2

There is a bug in tpcegeo2.g.  The bug results in two holes in the TPC FEE cards being placed at an incorrect location.  This bug should have negligible impact on any existing s

Notes regarding MLE

These are somewhat dated, and may include a few mistakes.  But there may be some useful information in them.  First is a general explanation of the math for MLE (maximum likelihood estimation), and the second discusses how to interpret the MLE results.
