[Halld-cal] [EXTERNAL] new energy correction scheme

[Shepherd, Matthew]

Hi Igal,

I see that you checked in and merged a energy correction scheme for the FCAL.  Could we discuss it in one of the afternoon sessions this week?  Maybe Wednesday afternoon during your talk?

In particular it would be great to show that it provides an improvement over the standard GlueX approach.  If this is so, I am strongly in favor of using the PrimEx approach going forward in the future for GlueX.  (Although probably not for the batch of data we are about to process.)

My concern is that if we end up diverging in how detectors are calibrated then it makes it harder to compare systematic uncertainties in GlueX and PrimEx data.  There is generally an advantage to keep things as common as possible to minimize duplication of effort in doing systematic checks which are incredibly time consuming, but of course I understand the need to meet PrimEx demands for low systematic errors.

Cheers,

Matt
