[Hallc] Quarterly Analysis Meeting VI - SHMS NIM Paper Followup

[Stephen Kay]

Hello everyone.

Following the discussion in the last quarterly analysis meeting, I went 
through the full SHMS NIM paper in detail and compiled a list of 
edits/missing content.

Overall, the paper is nearly complete. Up until ~Sec 6, most of the work 
is just fixing broken links. There's also some updating of text needed 
in the introduction (e.g. some experiments have now happened that are 
referred to as being in the future). The key plots/things we seem to be 
missing are -

  * Hodoscope performance plots (for scint and quartz bars)
  * An updated HGC performance plot
      o PID plot in place isn't amazing, needs updating slightly.
  * Some calibration/gain matching/performance plots for the NGC
      o Cameron has sent on some text on the calibration so I'll look at
        incorporating this as a starting point in the near future
  * A sample calorimeter calibration plot, potentially with an extra few
    lines of text on the procedure.
  * Some 50k monitoring histograms.
  * T0 for DC, some discussion plot on this.
  * DC/Hodoscope performance plots (and a paragraph or two of
    accompanying text) for the end.
      o Perhaps something like a tracking efficiency with rate plot here
        or similar

A more complete list is attached to this email. Whilst compiling this, I 
also tried to go through and edit the existing document for consistency.

If you have any material for these items, please either email me or just 
add it directly into the overleaf and we can edit/adjust it as needed.

If you don't have access, please ask Mark so you can be added to the 
document.

Thanks, Stephen

# SHMS NIM Paper ToDo List 19/02/24
====================================

The NIM paper for the SHMS spectrometer is generally in pretty good shape with a few sections/plots missing. These are outlined bloew.

## Section 1.3 - Overview of 12 GeV plans

- Should add references/citations for published papers/results from the experiments that are discussed.
- Need to edit reference to EMC x>1 expts since these have now happened.

## Section 3.1 - Magnets

- Need to add obtained angular resolutions at end of section.

## Section 3.2 - Hut Shielding

- Broken citation links.
  - wood08
  - jones08
  - horn08
  - biren95
  - concrete

## Section 3.3 - Hodoscope Plastic Scint Bars

### 3.3.2

- Performance plot/figure at end

## Section 3.4 - Hodoscope Quartz Bars
### 3.4.2

- Performance plot needed for threshold light production in quartz hodo bars (pi/K/p)

## Section 3.6 - HGC

- Broken citation links.
  - btev (x2)
  - ASM
  - sinclair
  - wli_msc
  - corning
  - hammamatsu
  - eci
  
### Section 3.6.2

- Should cite/reference Vijay's report on the HGC calibration - https://hallcweb.jlab.org/doc-private/ShowDocument?docid=1098
  - This is cited later though? More fitting here?

## Section 3.7 - NGC

- Broken citation links.
  - Rayotek
  - DTG
  - ETTubes

- Four empty sections
  - Optics Tuning
  - Calibration - Text from Cameron, add as starting point
  - Gain matching 
  - Performance

# Section 3.8 - Aerogel

- Broken citation links
  - AeroNIM17

## Section 3.9 - Cal

- Add citation in preface for PiLT exp? It's discussed but no ref to the proposal included.
- Broken citation links
  - mkrtchyan (x3)
  - lytkarino
  - Avakian96
  - Amatuni96 (x2)
  - Zorn
  - geant4
  - qgsp-bert
  - BornWolf
  - hamamatsu
  - amatuni

- Add a reference to HMS calo construction in sec 3.9.2?

### 3.9.8

- Need a sample calibration plot
- More details on calibration needed generally

## Section 4 - DAQ

- Broken citation links
  - CODA
  - JLABF250 (x2)
  - CAEN1190
  - EPICS
  - JLABFARM

- Fig 47 (Block diagram of DAQ) has note to be improved
- For consistency, should decide if Preshower or PreShower is used. (Was PreShower here, switched to Preshower)

## Section 5 - Software

- Broken citation links
  - HallAAnalyzer
  - ROOT
  - EPICS

- Add a typical 50k monitoring histogram or mention a few critical examples.
 - Comment at end of section on T0 for DC - add this to DC section?

## Section 6 - Performance

### 6.1 - Acceptance

- Some text repeats figure captions.

### 6.2 - Rates and livetime

#### 6.2.1

- Discussion of buffered/unbuffered mode needs to be tweaked. Back reference to earlier definition/discussion?

### 6.3 - System Efficiency

- Title is a bit odd, change it?

####  6.3.1 - HGC Performance

- Update figure (Fig 59), showing pi/K/p separation.
- Broken citation links
  - BrashAerogel
  - C4F80Index

####  6.3.2 - Aerogel Performance

- Some text edits, largely fine.
- Examples of other indices?

#### 6.3.3 - Calorimeter performance

- Needs extra material.
  - Gain stability/consistency.
  - Resolution vs run number for a time period.
  - OR MIP peak position vs run number.
  
- Update figure 61 (Resolution from calibrations in Spring 18).
- Moved long list of expts to an actual itemised list.
- A plot demonstrating PID would also be nice.

#### Missing sections
- Nothing on DC or hodoscope performance?
- Some quick plots/info here would be good.

## Section 7 - Conclusion

- Need to flesh out the conclusion, just one bullet currently.
  - Doesn't need to be much, 1 or 2 paragraphs.
- Should cite a selection of published results.
