<p>Hello Eugene,</p>
<p>1.) The W and Q^2 distributions are from the hipo file, and not
directly from the lund file from the MC sims. All plots were
generated using hipo file.</p>
<p>2.) I will have to check to see what has contaminated the pions
and the beta vs momentum plots.<br>
</p>
<p>3.) As I understand it, the event generator handles decays. From
their overview they say: <br>

<blockquote>
<p>"...complete events are generated by Monte Carlo methods. The
complexity is mastered by a subdivision of the full problem into
a set of simpler separate tasks. All main aspects of the events
are simulated, such as hard-process selection, initial- and
final-state radiation, beam remnants, fragmentation, decays, and
so on. Therefore events should be directly comparable with
experimentally observable ones. The programs can be used to
extract physics from comparisons with existing data, or to study
physics at future experiments."</p>

<p>4.) I will look at the simulated events and see how those compare
to the reconstruction and/or analysis code.</p>
<p>Thank you for the comments.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>

On slide 3 can you clarify what was exactly simulated. Are these W and Q^2 distributions as simulated or as reconstructed?
There are some issues with PID. Pions are contaminated with something. When I look at beta vs momentum on slide 10 I see an enhancement for beta above 0.9. There are also a few weird bands. One is close to beta=1, the other around beta~0.7 and one diverging from the proton band around beta=0.5. The last two pint to the start time being off for some events. The first one I think is contamination from neutrals.
Do you decay particles in the event generator or you let geant do it? If it is done in the event generator I would step back a little and look at the distributions for simulated events at the come from the event generator before they are processed by gemc. Look at the momentum and angular distributions of electrons, charged pions, protons, photons. This will show what goes where. Then I would compare simulated with reconstructed. This will help understand the issues with reconstruction and/or analysis code. This will also show how the detector acceptance affects what we see.
Continue with the simulated data because in this case you know exactly what was simulated and compare with what was reconstructed. Once we get this reasonable then we can switch to the real data.

Subject: [Clas12_verystrange] follow up on yesterday's meeting
Dear VS group,
I appreciate the comments from yesterday's meeting. As suggested, I have
made some slides with explanations of my Event Filters, Schema/Banks
that I'm using, and plots. I've also included some code to show how some
calculations were made (invariant mass, beta vs p, etc.). I would
appreciate any and all feedback. I am holding off on looking at RG-A
skim4 files until I can see what everyone has to say about the MC results.
I can include the .java file if anyone would like it. I was looking into
putting a jupyter notebook up on binder, but saw this required me to
have a git repo of the notebook first, and so I just moved my analysis
back into Eclipse/java. I will look into put jupyter notebooks up in the
future. For anyone wondering, I am using both the jaw-2.0.jar and
coat-libs-6c.3.3-SNAPSHOT.jar libraries. As I understand it, these are
the most up to date available to us.
All the best,
Izzy
