Run 13 W Embedding - Period 1

Request TypeSimulated background embedding (generator with real data as background for noise / pile-up studies)
DescriptionUpdate to the simulation request from 2017-06-02:
library: SL16g
geometry: y2013_2c
BFC tags: DbV20140222 pp2013a StiCA mtd btof fmsDat fgt fgtPoint VFPPVnoCTB beamline -evout BEmcChkStat Corr4 OSpaceZ2 OGridLeak3D -hitfilt


Embedding for Run 13 W A_L analysis to estimate background and reconstruction efficiency for single spin asymmetry reconstruction.
Library should be the same as for the production (Sl14a, not in the dropdown menu)

Geometry and chain options should be the same as y2013 production, only fgt is 'out of the ordinary'
Geometry: y2013_2 (not in pulldown menu yet..)
BFC tags: fgt DbV20140128 pp2013a btof VFPPVnoCTB beamline BEmcChkStat Corr4 OSpaceZ2 OGridLeak3D -hitfilt

W ̄→ e⁻ν : 50k
W⁺→ τ⁺→e⁺ ν : 160k
W ̄→ τ⁻→e⁻ν : 50k
