Does Fine Tuning GEANT Offer A Compromise?

    At the last spin meeting, the 10 keV thresholds defined by LOW_EM were questioned.

EEMC Simulation Studies - III

32 and 64 bits, tricks and tips

This is a collection of issues for SL5, 64bit kernels with 32 & 64 bits code support.

Quick PyROOT tests

The ROOT web site has a page How to use Use the Python PyROOT Interpreter, a good start for users of PyROOT.

Two issues w/ respect to simulation readiness

There are two issues being discussed within several groups (emc, phana, W) which may impact our readiness to run simulations for y2009.

Files for 2Dec Group Meeting

I've attached three files to be discussed at the group meeting here at MIT. 

Z studies

 I've been looking at Z events in the W sample.  

The following cuts are applied:

Pre-embedding QA for W analysis: Calorimeters

12/2 Update

The problem I was having with using the StEmcCollection vanished as mysteriously as it came, but at least my code is working now, so here are some plots that would have gone into my presentati

Monte-Carlo setup:

Geometry Differential: y2006g + ECALv6 versus y2006g + ECALv6 + TPCE04

Abstract: The latest version of the TPC geometry is TPCE04.  This geometry changes important features in the TPC structure, which account for ~1000 lbs.
