[Clas12_verystrange] Forward tagger/Very Strange

Wed Oct 11 16:05:58 EDT 2017

Hi, Guys,

If you missed today’s meeting, here is some of the key issues discussed:

1. Subscribe to clas12_photon at jlab.org  if you haven’t done so. If you encounter problems subscribing, Raffaella is the owner of the list and should be able to help.
2. We need to decide the manpower that can help with various tasks related to the forward tagger: FT expert/Detector shift/Calibration, etc. Training for becoming FT experts would be taking place during the commissioning period of early December. IF you intend to be part of that, please consider making the travel plans soon.
3. There will be prolonged period during the spring run when we need FT expert on call (~three month)
4. Michael Dugger has agreed to be the analysis coordinator for the very strange group.

If you are willing to volunteer for the various FT tasks (it will be better defined soon), or ready to volunteer someone else, please let me and Eugene know.

> MINUTES and HOMEWORKS
> - after discussing the plan circulated last week we all agree on the need of a organized run plan for all activities related to the FT (from the HW to the shifts, tfrom the calibrations to thehigh level analysis) 
> - all sub-groups (MesonEx, LDM, VeryStrange and Hybrid Baryons) are requested to contribute to set up a full  working detector and a complete framework to monitor, calibrate it before to focus on high level-specific analyses. 
> - at the next meeting we'll present a draft of a detailed FT commissioning plan completing what already in CalCom hands
> - based on the message below, we'll prepare a detailed list of duties and tasks for the commissioning and production runs
> - provide a repository with all the relevant documents and documentations to make easy to get used with the FT systems
> - we'll use the engineering run as a good test for documentations implementing the feedback in the manual/procedures for the first run
> - prepare a list of histos (same as CLAS6 MONB) to check FT vitals

>> 
>> In parallel we should check the status of FT GEMC/REC sw to be sure that all tools are in place.
>> 
>> We already discussed that, during regular data taking, there will be only one FT expert-on-call serving the 3 subsystems and this requires that experts of each sub systems will share information and details.
>> 
>> Here is a (preliminary) list of sub-task experts/coordinators:
>> 
>> FT-Cal
>> - hardware expert: she/he knows how the detector works, how to monitor and judge if it is healthy it and names of (off-site)  specialists that may take care of hw issues or help on the phone
>> - sim/rec expert: she/he knows how the Sim/Rec code works, take care of standard and exceptional (such as develop patches)  code maintenance 
>> - calibration coordinator: she/he coordinate the calibration effort, check results of calibration team 
>> 
>> FT-Hodo 
>> - hardware expert
>> - sim/rec expert
>> - calibration coordinator
>> 
>> FT-Trck 
>> - hardware expert
>> - sim/rec expert
>> - calibration coordinator
>> 
>> - FT trigger expert: she/he has knowledge of the hw and sw behind the trigger, collect requirements based on physics and acts as a link with the trigger/daq group
>> - FT data cooking expert: she/he knows the machinery requested to cook a file on the farm, keep trace of the current cooking status, collect the monitoring histos (or equivalent) verifying and checking  that the FT information are always present in the data stream
>> 
>> - MesonEx analysis coordinator: she/he coordinates analysis efforts providing all the necessary information about the history of collected data, correction/tools to be used, warnings, ... to any new data analyzer
>> - VeryStrange analysis coordinator
>> - LMD analysis coordinator
>> - HybridBaryon analysis coordinator
>> - Pentaquark analysis coordinator
>> 
>> + list of students/postdocs or any seniors interested to FT-involved analyses
>> 
>> We should appoint a responsible for each activity in order to have a well organized structure ready for data taking day-0.
>> Each expert will act as link to other detector/group/experiments subtasks  and should come with an estimate of resources needed to manage the task.
>> Please, identify among your groups, people that may lead the effort and resources to accomplish the listed tasks and send it to me by Tue Oct 10 
>> 
>> I propose to resume the Wednesday FT meeting to define, prepare and discuss  this plan in details.
>> Let's start next week (Oct 11 at 9:00 EST) with the old timetable (and discuss if we want to keep it!).
>> I'll send a reminder shortly before
>> Cheers
