[Halld-cal] [EXTERNAL] Re: CPP/NPP BCAL calibration status

All,

After a week's break, I am coming back to this task.

In short, the status is the following, the 3rd layer, cannot be calibrated with and without the trigger bit used (1 / FCAL+BCAL or 3 / BCAL alone).

Iteration 20 of period 3 (https://halldweb.jlab.org/primexd/bcal-cal/2022-05/3/) shows the results when using the trigger bits 1/3. And the individual cell gg inv. mass for each layers are aslo there *.py files.

It seems (for this last iteration) layers 1 and 2 did converge but the background level remains the same as before ...

Any new inputs?

tks ig.

Thank you, Sean, I will let you know if it is improving things.

tks ig.

Hi Igal,

As a follow-up, currently there is ~10% of the CPP run skimmed out
including the trigger data in:
/cache/halld/RunPeriod-2022-05/calib/ver02/BCAL_pi0

So you should be able to look and see if you are getting a better pi0
peak by selecting e.g. the BCAL-FCAL trigger, and how that affects the
total statistics of the measurement.

Cheers,
Sean

And between iteration 5 to 11, the behavior starts to converge but not as well as when a pi0 signal is seen in L3. I will try to use for all L3 cells, the average gain instead of the default value for iteration 12 and above.  Let me know if you have a better idea.
