sPHENIX EMCal discussion

[Joe Osborn <jdosbo AT umich.edu>]

Dear sPHENIX EMCalers,

The test beam writing and analysis committee has received word from Dave and Gunther about the process for getting publicly approved plots to show from the 2017 test beam analysis so that Megan Connors can show our ongoing work in her IEEE talk. Attached to this email is a first draft of the analysis note documenting the test beam analysis and results. 

As a reminder, the plan is for the results to be public for Megan's IEEE talk on October 26th. The goal of her talk is to document, as well as advertise, the continued progress that we have made since the 2016 prototype. The results will then be published in a Conference Proceedings and not in a full peer reviewed journal due to the condition of the block boundaries in the 2017 test beam. The 2018 test beam results will then be the final results and supersede the Conference Proceedings. This was discussed in the EMCal meeting on September 12th.

The approval schedule will look something like the following, as has been passed on to us by Dave and Gunther. The analysis note first needs approval by the conveners of the EMCal group, after which the content of the note is to be presented at one of the fortnightly sPHENIX general meetings. The plan is to present the content of this note at the next general meeting on Friday, October 6th. This would mean that any comments from the EMCal group on the note would be appreciated by Tuesday, October 3rd at our next weekly EMCal meeting. These comments can then be implemented in time for the general meeting on the 6th of October. We can of course also discuss the note at the EMCal meeting on the 3rd. After the presentation in the general meeting, the note will go through a 1 week collaboration review (presumably the following week), similarly to some of the previous notes that have gone through e.g. the cold QCD or jet structure topical groups.

Talk to everyone at the next EMCal meeting, 

Joe Osborn for the 2017 Test Beam Committee
