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.
New table for TPC slewing
Based on recent work I've done regarding First look at TPC slewing in Run 9 data, and presented at
Rough cut of EEMC SMD spacer geometry
Comparing data etas to simulated etas
In the attached plots I'm comparing the etas I have found in different sectors in data to a single particle eta simulation in MC which has been put through the same analysis code. I throw the
UPC analysis
This is my first attempt to use a blog. I attach a ppt file with a report on analysis of muDST from run07 UPC triggers
W-Background Estimation based on Run 9 pp500 data
I'm using Jan's Algo ver 4.1 with a few modifications to look into the idea Scott suggested of sorting events by placing conditions on the away side to get an estimate of the background. Here
