[G12] g12 review

Tue Jun 30 14:58:05 EDT 2015

Hi Eugene,

I am sorry that the details of the TCS review did not reach you - but we did have discussions with Raffaella and Lei before Keith formed the DPWG committee. There is also a g12 person among the reviewers of the TCS analysis, who is also actively working on the g12 analysis note. Also, this is not an uncommon procedure in CLAS. For instance, some g13 analyses are being presented and reviewed in the hadron spectroscopy group and other in the nuclear group depending on the physics that is being pursued. In the case of TCS, we felt that it was important to have reviewers who were familiar with TCS and DVCS as well as the details of g12 and photoproduction experiments. I think that Keith set up a perfect committee to address the challenges that this analysis presents. The TCS analysis well known to the g12 run group - and while the treatment of some some subsystems (TOF, EC, CC) are specific to the TCS analysis, it uses the same basic tools (cooking, skims, etc). The folks working on TCS are collaborating with other in the g12 run group both on issues specific to TCS as well as those which are not. Thus, while one never can have too good communication, I have a feeling that things are perhaps not as bad as you fear.

Cheers,

	Pawel

Recently there has been enough overlap between nuclear and deep-processes that we have started to run our sessions sequentially so people can attend both.  With the advent of deeply-virtual meson production, the overlap between deep processes and spectroscopy is now increasing.  All of this is a good thing, but it will require better communication between the working groups.

Ibrahim and I had been in contact during the time of his writing an analysis note, and I assigned a committee once this note was in good form.

This would be a model for the future, in which the nuts-and-bolts of analysis (calibrations, cooking, momentum corrections, etc.) are discussed in an umbrella note, and specifics are contained in shorter, more specific individual analysis notes.
