[g13] ST timelines are online

Hello Chuck and Daria,
I finally solved the issue with the lack of paw memory and the problems
this was causing me with generating the figures containing the timelines
of the ST delta_T. The web site is updated with the latest results:
http://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/secure/g13/ST_CALIB/g13b/global_monitoring/st_moni/index.htm
The thumbnails on the web site show delta_T for pi+. Below the
thumbnails is a colored figure showing the position of the main peak of
the delta_T distributions as a function of paddle number (***).
At the top of the page, below the title, there is a link called "list of
monitored runs and run files" which leads to a text file showing which
run_partition corresponds to the file number shown on the x-axis of the
timeline histograms.
You can see the timelines for all the particles for specific run and
paddle, by clicking on the corresponding thumbnail. That opens a web
site in which the axes on the figures are pretty much self explanatory.
Each row of figures is for protons (top), pi_plus (middle), and pi_minus
(bottom). The middle histogram shows the width of the delta_T
distribution as a function of file number. The most right histogram in
each row shows the one-dimensional projection of the most-left histogram
onto the y-axis. (***) It is the position of these peaks that are
plotted on the colored figure on the first page of the web site.
1. One sees that the means of the delta_T distributions vary from run
to run within a range of 150 ps. For most of the paddles the variations
are within 100 ps or better. A notable exception is the run range Nick
has been investigating (54730 - 54740). On the scale of +- 1 ns all
looks pretty flat.
2. For a given particle type, the mean values of the delta_T
distributions vary from paddle to paddle within a range of 100 ps.
3. The mean values of the delta_T distributions vary from particle to
particle and paddle to paddle within a range of 200 ps.
4. The variations in 3 are on top of the variations in 1, so the global
spread of the delta_T's is probably larger than 200 ps.
5. The first few thousand files do not have any ST data due to a bug in
my scripts.
Is it worth to improve the calibration for some subranges for:
-sector 1 paddle 2
-sector 3 paddle 3 and paddle 4
before pass2?
Best regards, Yordanka
