<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the feedback. Although hybrid baryon is not interested in the high W region, lowering the trigger threshold for hybrid baryon would only impact the experiment in terms of luminosity. The lower W / larger momentum region would still be in the
trigger, and hybrid baryon could benefit from cross-checking their cross-sections at different luminosity. </div>

<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px"> From FX trigger efficiency plot, I see efficiency problems at the lab. energies of the scattered electron <2.0 GeV or for \nu value above 5.5 GeV for the electron beam energy 7.5 GeV. It corresponds to the following
W ranges where we have the problem with trigger efficiency:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">Q^2=2.0 GeV^2 W>3.0 GeV</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">Q^2=5.0 GeV^2 W>2.5 GeV</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">For hybrid baryon search, we have no any problem with the trigger efficiency at Q^2<2.0 GeV^2 since the lightest hybrids are expected in the mass range <2.5 GeV. Furthermore, the initial search for hybrid baryons
will be carried out at Q^2<2.0 GeV^2.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During today's meeting I attempted to have a discussion on the trigger efficiency as function of ECal threshold. Contradicting statements were made during the meeting, so I want this discussion to be on record here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please see the plot</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/secure/clas12/rec_mon/P_Good_emWithEC_5786.png" target="_blank">https://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/secure/clas12/rec_mon/P_Good_emWithEC_5786.png</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>from Rafo's study of the trigger efficiency. He analyzed run 5786 which was taken with the random trigger. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- in blue all "good electrons" with Nphe>2, E_PCal > 60 MeV, sampling fraction > 0.2 and fiducial cuts</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- in orange, the electrons satisfy in addition E_ECal > 300 MeV</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- in red, the events for which the orange set was missing the electron trigger bit</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The trigger efficiency is defined as (orange - red) / orange</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/secure/clas12/rec_mon/Eff_All_Good_em_trg_threshold_5786.png" target="_blank">https://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/secure/clas12/rec_mon/Eff_All_Good_em_trg_threshold_5786.png</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The trigger efficiency below 2 GeV drops rapidly, and measuring a cross section in this region is challenging</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My question during the meeting was: do we already have data to show the trigger efficiency when the threshold is 150 MeV. My understanding is that we do not have this data and that to answer this question we need to take another random trigger run with
the lower threshold.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I have in mind is the following: I agree that the bulk of the RG-K data taking can take place at 300 MeV ECal trigger threshold and highest possible luminosity, but I would like to consider the possibility to take a few days at a lower trigger threshold
to extend the cross section measurement to higher W. Again my purpose is to minimize the final systematic uncertainties.</div>
