Dear all,
next week Monday and Tuesday is close and i think we need an agenda for
the meeting. Following the developments and efforts in the last weeks,
I think an agenda should look roughly like this.
1. pi0 reconstruction in the calorimeters Monday morning / early afternoon
FCAL status of simulation and reconstruction of photons/pi0 Mihajlo
BCAL
status of simulation and reconstruction of photons/pi0 George/Zisis
analysis of test beam data George/Zisis
analysis of cosmic data Christina
2. TOF Monday afternoon
-- tof wall Matt/Beni
status of simulation and test beam measurements
what momentum resolution do we need, plans
-- Bcal
analysis of test beam data Blake
Tuesday morning
3. what does the new material in the FCs do to shower reconstruction Richard
4. Kaon identification Eugene
--- what does a cerenkov or a rich give us
--- do we need Kaon identification in the non-forward regime
--- what will kinematic fitting and strangeness conservation help us
Discussions:
5. What needs/can be done till the calorimeter July meeting
6. when are we ready for a PID review
I know I have assigned people as speakers without asking, this are only
suggestions, of course things can be changed. Just complain to me and I
will update things.
cheers elke

Subject: PID meeting 14/15 of May
Dear all,
as preparation for the PID meeting I list here some points, also
discussed with Eugene and Alex.
I think to have answers to some of the point is crucial to make the PID
meeting useful.
1. Have the BCAL TOF analysis for the different angles and positions along
the bcal module taken
----> having this information is really critical, because it will allow
us to see what type of pion - kaon separation we have for big
angles.
2. It would be also very nice to have some information from the BCal
cosmic data.
----> I think I have understood correctly that the cosmic data have not
only be sampled for 90 degree but also other angles.
This will help us to see the fluctuations in light yield, which
should influence also the time of flight
3. For the threshold Cerenkov, it is important to see what is really
the suppression factor we can achieve and for some golden processes it
is also important to see how often is the Kaon really in the Cerenkov.
----> because depending on the suppression factor we might need to
think about an different concept than a threshold cerenkov and
if we cannot separate Kaon and pion's with the bcal tof, we
might want to think about an additional detector at big angles
4. we need some better characterization for dE/dx from the CDC
5. On the software front it would be nice to get some TOF responses into
the MC
6. to study the impact of kinematical fits/constraints it would be good
to get the bcal photon/pi0 reconstruction in the MC working.
And last but not least we have to determine some golden reactions which we
want to test the pid performance on, but even more important we need
simulations with background.
I'm sure a lot of more can be added, but I think it is good to start with
the minimum requirements.
cheers elke
