Issues

Finalize Run List and prepare JAPAN analysis for Respin

We meed to go through all of our notes and make sure any loose ends are tied off
Make sure that all cuts are applied as needed (i.e. burp cuts have the right scale-> W&M people)
We should also decide which run ranges should receive which pedestals -> Caryn and company
Decide on runranged dithering slopes
There are also some additional items to add into regression and dithering corrections for AT and SAM analyses -> Put these in the spreadsheet (Devi)

Tools:
- Full Experiment Aggregator chained file: ~/PREX/prompt/aggRootfiles/slugRootfiles/grandRootfile/CREX-full-miniruns.root
- Run List spreadsheet
- List of calibration runs -> Needs to be completed with AT and Main detector moves/HV changes for pedestal applicability
- PREX sheets: PREX Monitor events sheet, PREX Run list, WAC-stuff

To Do List

Finalize Run List (spreadsheet)
1. Go through all WAC Notes
2. Go through runs with curious behavior from full-CREX aggregated file (~/PREX/prompt/aggRootfiles/slugRootfiles/grandRootfile/CREX-full-miniruns.root)
  - n_runs == Slug number branch. Was originally intended to denote how many runs had been TChained to derive a given file's outputs, but we just do miniruns and such these days instead.
  - run_number == Run number branch
  - minirun_n == Minirun ID branch (starts at 0 for first minirun of each run)
  - split_n == Nothing for now. Was originally intended to denote split runs in JAPAN analysis, but other scripts never fully supported it and it rarely comes up
  - All of the data in these aggregator files is exactly ErrorFlag==0 passing data, meaning it cuts out BMOD ON data and also fails to properly consider AT and SAM error flags (in prompt outputs, see respins for proper global error flag on those).
  - The individual data fields for a given device are as follows:
    - _mean == mean value for a given minirun
    - _mean_error == the error on the mean
    - _rms == the RMS from the histogram for a given minirun
    - _rms_error == the error on RMS calculation (probably not really useful)
    - _nentries == the number of Multiplet entries used in the minirun for the histogram to obtain the above numbers
    - Some of the EPICS and slopes and such have _slope and maybe _slope_error or _mean and are what you would expect
3. Verify all needed cuts
  - 12X +- 0.8mm shifts -> Corresponds to 2e-4 dpp shift. Devi has an update: HAPLOG.
    - It looks like a 0.003% additional cut to the full run, so we can check again after the first respin. Be careful with BPM pedestals changing and yield cuts.
  - Burp cuts
  - Time scale of beam trip cut
  - Stability cut on BCM over noisy time frames
4. Go back over pedestal analyses again, triple check the list of calibrations and incidents
  - Update the spreadsheet with Detector moves and HV changes
  - Note when pedestals were used and when they should be used
  - Update on unser scans and more detailed pedestal analyses
  - SAMs pedestals for AT purposes
5. Update all dithering slopes and properly run-range as well
Update AT combos
- Add Combos sensitive to A_{PV}. atl_avg_atr_avg_avg (exists) and at1_avg_at2_avg_avg
- Vertical
  - asym_atl_avg_atr_avg_dd (exists) DD of (Left AT_in L A_T out avg ) and (R AT_in ,R AT_out avg)
  - asym_at1_dd_at2_dd_avg Avg of ( Left AT_in - Right AT_in ) and (Left AT_out , Right AT_out DD)
  - asym_atl1r2dd_atl2r1dd_avg Avg of (Left A_Tin , Right AT_out DD) and (Left AT_out - R AT_in DD)
- Horizontal
  - asym_atl_dd_atr_dd_avg (exists) Avg of (Left AT_in L A_T out DD ) and (R AT_in ,R AT_out DD)
  - asym_at1_avg_at2_avg_dd DD of ( Left AT_in, Right AT_in avg) and (Left AT_out , Right AT_out Avg)
  - asym_atl1r2dd_atl2r1dd_dd DD of (Left A_Tin , Right AT_out DD) and (Left AT_out - R AT_in DD)
- Combinations of Main + ATs (see PREX)
- Add global cuts for AT detectors
Add more SAM combos?

Map files: make a text file with the run ranged map files list

Look at pedestals actually used, vs map file implementation
Apply pedestals onto the times for which they actually apply
Verify the quality of pedestals, and systematic impacts too
Make sure everything is properly committed

1X BPM bad wire questions

We should analyze how dangerous the flaky 1X cable was for Parity Analysis. We clearly saw mm scale shifts in the calculated X/Y positions, but this may have just been a pedestal change due to some signal pickup. Is it bad for diff calculations?

PVDB and Aggregator replacement on ifarm

Sakib and Cameron are planning to just use the aggregation tools that Tao has already put together for the ifarm respins. Most of the scripts already in use can be modified to work on the JAPAN and postpan summary trees without much hassle. This is ongoing
The PVDB is up and running on the ifarm. It requires python2 and ROOT 5.34, but it at least allows read privileges from the PVDB

Tying Compton Electron and Photon detector runs to Parity Data (for convenience and such)

RCDB is good for this. The time stamps are a bit hard to use, but they are there -> https://hallaweb.jlab.org/rcdb/

State of Updates

Run list

Caryn requests that we make sure that any issues noted during our WACs, in our various notes, get added into the PREX and CREX monitor events spreadsheets.

BMOD

Cameron has gone through the slugs for CREX and made what quick slug splitting and supercycle pruning decisions I could with the data on hand. All slugs are basically fine now with a few exceptions.

Victoria will take info (some given in last week's WAC meeting notes), and use it to produce CREX run-ranged slope map files.
We had a BMOD meeting yesterday, and other questions and details are being worked on in that group.

Pedestals

Work has been assigned to look at specific calibration runs and make sure error bars are being utilized correctly for pedestals

Cameron and Caryn have updated the unser pedestal analysis to have RMS error bars and output in a root file. See http://ace.phys.virginia.edu/HAPPEX/4062, https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3809639
Robert has extracted which pedestals were used from CREX data
Weibin has begun to denote the applicability of various pedestal runs (in a new tab on the google sheet)
Amali has finished the pedestal analysis scripts for most runs, details are being sorted out now
We had a Pedestal meeting yesterday, and more tasks have been assigned and looked at in that group

Mul Plots

Cameron and Weibin will work together to get the mul-plots scripts to have better bin ranges. Otherwise it looks pretty good. We should understand how significant the non-gaussianity is for the main detectors, etc.

PREX AT

Ryan needs some help getting PREX AT data properly aggregated and plotted. This will feed into replacing the aggregator with summary tree reading script on the ifarm.

Plan for next week

Look at anything still remaining after finishing up the run list this week.
