Sorry, folks: this should have been sent to the whole group ...

Reinhard,

this is actually not true: we set up the simulations for Dao - and it seems that the wire efficiencies I put into the GPP map were reasonably well reproducing the detector response (I admit that we did not look into all the details, e.g. TAG, ST, SC).
As I wrote Nick already earlier today, the files (+script to have compatible settings in gsim's ffread and recsis' tcl + to run the sequence) are in $CLAS_PACK/tests/frost (for frost and HD). I updated some environment settings as these files in the clasg14 account this morning (there were some minor changes missing to run root on ifarm1101 (centos6) as well as ifarm140x (centos7)).
Flaws in the detector performance are almost completely cancelling out for E in pi- p, the but the situation might be different when it comes to the separation of the Sigma flavors in Jamie's analysis. Simulations are very likely required for hyperon channels when the observable depends on the azimuthal angle.

Greetings,
Franz

Hi Nick, 

Jamie’s analysis was for the “E” observable. To a good (enough?) approximation, all acceptance issues cancel when forming this quantity from the CLAS data. For the recently published data for the pi- p reaction, there were no GSIM calculations done by any of the three parallel analysis efforts. We explicitly assumed that the cancellation approximation is sufficient. And further, recall that g14 was the last hurrah for the CLAS spectrometer, and in many ways it was in miserable shape: many many dead channels. I do not recall that we have even tried to itemize and model all the flaws for Monte Carlo study. 

Cheers, 
Reinhard

Hi all, 

I have generated some signal and background data for Jamies Analysis and wanted to run them through GSIM to illustrate that with our cuts minimal background events survive and do a quick study of the weird structure below the missing-mass of signal events that I think comes from kaons that decay. I was wondering if you can point to me the following: 
g14-approved version of GSIM 
ffread card to use 
appropriate run num for constants 
gpp variables 
and cook tcl file for user_ana 

Cheers, 
Nick
