Run 9 SSA Scaler Reading Problem

I'm noticing something disturbing in how I've been reading scaler files from board 11 and board 12.  The inputs to these boards are the same as in Run 6, so I should be able to use the same co

Testing Run 10049077

I ran the BEMC & EEMC timing makerS on the MuDsts produced from run 10049077.  Below are 2-d histograms of ADC vs. soft id for each layer of the calorimeters.

Updated barrel shower max scans

I repeated the scans here:

Updated barrel preshower spectra

I applied tighter cuts to the pedestal fits when looping the channels for the preshower crates.  I was able to significantly clean up the spectrums with respect to what is posted here:

Timing scans for the barrel preshower & shower max: Update

Introduction

My previous work with the barrel preshower and shower max timing scans is documented here:

What Drives the Moments of the Net Proton Distribution?

The attached .pdf file looks at how far one can go in understanding the Npart dependence of moments of p-pbar distribution, based ONLY on central limit theorem, with nothing to do with Lattice QCD.
