2008 BEMC Preliminary Timing Curves from L2 Data

Jan Balewski suggested that I try to determine the BEMC timing curves
from L2 data.  Here is my first attempt from the data Oleg Tsai took a few days
ago:

Single-particle results

These plots were generated from 30 files of 2000 events each, for a total of 60000 kaons.  There are 128788 Pixel hits, 181764 Ist hits, and 43606 Ssd hits:

RCF and AFS accounts

Before you can do anything you need an RCF account and an AFS account. Visit the Getting a computer account in STAR for information.

Attached are pdf files giving efficiencies for all three inner silicon detectors vs.

Cross Talk in the BSMD

With the StEmcSimulatorMaker recently cleaned up and streamlined (thanks again, Adam), it wasn't a difficult task to simulate the effect of cross talk between the fibers in the BSMD readout.  Nom

There is some question as to whether certain tasks need to be done this year because the detector was not moved during the shutdown period. Omitting such tasks should be justified before skipping!
