Pxl 2 TPC alignment

 ------- April 4th 2014

Preliminary results in aligning PXL relative to TPC. Field on cosmic data was used to match TPC hits to 

Pxl Half 2 Half alignment

 ------- March 19th 2014

Posted are the results obtained for the Pxl half to half relative alignment using zero field cosmic data. 

Pxl Sector 2 Sector relative alignment

 ------- March19th 2014

Using zero field cosmic data preliminary results for sector relative alignment were obtained for 3 of the 10 sectors of PXL.

Parameters for FMS /w preshower in fast MC

Preshower layers PS1 & PS2 with a cut on maximum light yield (for photon/hadron separation

Preshower response (photons/electrons/hadrons)

Responses are based on 10 GeV primary particles. This will require a minimum energy cut on the FMS cluster energy of about 100 MeV or so.

Run-11 Transverse Jets: Update to Jet Group (April 8, 2014)

After the jet call, I promised to post data-embedding comparison plots with binning that more sensibly comports with the edges of the pT cut-offs for the various triggers.

Run-11 Transverse Jets: Attempt to Simulate Trigger Prescales in Embedding

I present, here, a, so-far, unsuccessful attempt to mock-up the data trigger prescales for weighting the embedding simulations.

FMS meeting 04/07/2014 --combined picoDST production for Mriganka and Yuxi's analysis

This is to show some progress toward producing run11 FMS picoDST files for both Mriganka and my own analysis. The goal is to have a validated

First look the code is OK. But some notes are followed.
