Hi Diana,

  I finished looking at run 1250 where the missing tracks were, you can
find some plots I made and the description of them here as well as the
cuts I used:

http://jlab.org/~posik/1250/

 To start I replayed(not full replay, too many events) the run with no
cuts and got 685,485 events. I then applied the trigger cuts but instead
of using evtype, I used (DL.evtypebits&(1<<X))==(1<<X) where X is the
trigger you want to cut on. The sh/ps cuts that I used are

BB.ts.ps.e>800&&0.5*BB.ts.ps.e+BB.ts.sh.e>700

 Using just the trigger cuts seemed to only get rid of a few events
(~1000), so I then implemented the sh/ps + trigger cuts and then I see
there are only 412602 events left of these 190299 have one or more
tracks.

I was recently able to get a result from a onepass shower and preshower
calibration. So I then used this calibration to see if there is any
significant change. Again I used the same cuts as in the uncalibrated case
and what I found was that in 685485 events after the ps/sh + trigger cuts
was that there were 173839 events of which 94855 were one track events.
The reason for the less one track events here I think is that the
calibration on the ps/sh tightened up the shower+preshower energy and the
ps energy so that the original cuts are cutting out a good amount of good
electrons.

Hi Matt,

Good idea! It's run 1250; it was taken in unified-DAQ mode, so it also
includes some LHRS data.

I'm actually getting the track numbers from a macro I got from Xin (which
is a preliminary stage in doing the optics analysis). The basic gist is
that it's a for loop running over all the entries in the T tree in the
root file. I inserted a line wherein I add up the value of the branch
BB.tr.n for each entry.

Initially I only added up the value of that branch for events satisfying
the cuts

((evtype==1||evtype==2||evtype==5||evtype==6)&&pse>800.&&(pse/2.+she)>700.)

which is where the ntracks=28430 number comes from. When I remove that cut
entirely, I get 38503 tracks.

    Hi Diana,

     I was wondering what run it was that you were replaying, I can try it
on
    my comp and see if we get the same results. Also to get the tracks are
you
    just plotting the BB.tr.n and making the cut BB.tr.n>=1?

        Thanks Matt,

        I'll try it directly. It took a little time to get the BB library
straightened out, but the new library doesn't seem to have made
any
        significant difference to the number of tracks.

             Here is a tar ball of my current d2n DB that I am working
with. Also let
            me know if updating the bigbite lib helps at all.

            Thanks
            Matt
