Day187 IST to PXL global alignment check with aligned PXL 

2009 inclusive jet update for spin pwg

Run-11 Transverse Jets: Update to Jet Group (August 5, 2014)

 

Jet Geo Trigger Matching

 

Run 12 UU TPC T0 with new alignment

 Using the new TPC alignment, Matt Posik & I observed a notable loss of west-side (positive z & η) primary tracks for use in other calibrations.

BEMC Noise Tests

Oleg and Stephen took a 5K event run with BEMC JP trigger set at threshold = 27 and all HV off on PMTs.

Run 6 EEMC Gain Calibration

Run11/Run13 QA

08/04/2013 --FMS simulation and data comparison

Here I am trying to resolve the issue of large deviations of reconstructed pi0 mass at high pT as seen in the

Run-11 Transverse Jets: Trigger Threshold Scan

Renee pointed out that I really should apply the new trigger threshold in both the data and simulation. Below, I show a scan of thresholds applying the changes both to data and simulation.

Run-11 Transverse Jets: Detector-jet-to-Parton-jet Matching Fractions

Here, I post the updated matching fractions, now, using the "nominal+3" trigger threshold scheme.

Run-11 Transverse Jets: Transverse Momentum Shifts, Part 2 (Full Embedding)

Here, I post the status of the pT-shift and uncertainty calculation. The uncertainties consider the full suite of systematics:

EEMC Cal Run9-07-31-2014

Use the gain get before, I try to calibrate the tower with energy cuts on pre& postshower:

Energy cut: pMipRelEneLow = 0.5, pMipReleEneHigh=2.0;
