FHC pythia mini-bias simulation for Lambda
I use the pythia mini-bias codes to study to look for the lambda decay products energy deposit in FHC with Lambda->n+pi0.

Sector 5 gains over the years
In the context of the Sector 5 anomaly, here are the gains for Sector 5 plotted by padrow vs. pad, and mean values per padrow (using only those pads with gains within +/-0.8 of 1.0).
A centroid method for ZDC SMD hits
Introduction
Phenix uses a "centroid method" for counting hits in the A_N azimuthal distribution. Their acceptance is shown in the figure below:
Thoughts on Future FMS Transverse Running
While Akio and I are still discussing this. I have posted some of my thoughts on future FMS running.

Adding ETOW to W-Algo
I included the Endcap towers in only the away side veto sum in Jan's W-algo ver4.2.2 (near side will come later). Below are some plots before and after the changes.
Run6 FPD Single Photon GSTAR
Using the geometry configuration y2006g, which apparently has the east FPD at "far" position (x>~50cm), we look at the response of Yiqun reconstruction to single photons.
