sPHENIX HCal discussion

[Xiaochun He <xhe AT gsu.edu>]

Dear John,

Thanks for the notes.  I am sorry for not being able to follow the BNL work 
very closely as I hoped for given my heavy teaching load in this semester.  

Murad has run some cosmic ray simulations with his updated HCal geometry 
(which I think that most people are happy with!).  It will be very useful to 
make comparison study with cosmic data you are collecting.  I assume that the 
directory (/sphenix/data/data01/t1044-2016a) includes the new cosmic "beam" 
test data. This comparison could give us a "good" energy scale factor before 
we get to Fermilab.

Cheers,
Xiaochun

Subject: [Sphenix-emcal-l] Beam test data

This may not be the final word on this, but since we have moved to
taking data with rcdaq, we've moved to some new data directories, too.

- Taking data is still done on sphenixdaq, which will be difficult for
most people to get to (right now, the only way in is via the gateway
machine Martin set up in the highbay, called 
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=highbaygw.phy.bnl.gov&data=01%7c01%7cxhe%40gsu.edu%7ca7ee97cab58b471417fc08d3438a387e%7c515ad73d8d5e4169895c9789dc742a70%7c0&sdata=8%2bZV2%2bu8KLQnJ3dEUhl3AKE%2bNRVvzj%2b%2f1M3p7FgCiVc%3d;
 in a
few weeks, that will be a machine at Ferrmilab, so don't get used to it).

- The data directory is an automounted NFS volume on highbaygw called

/data/data/phnxsa

If the automount falls off, you can cd to it

- Chris has new place for data at RCF and I made a directory for the
beamtest there:

/sphenix/data/data01/t1044-2016a

and I have been copying data from sphenixdaq there periodically.  We'll
try and automate that, but probably I'm more excited about the data than
an automaton anyway.

There are run-type directories below that called cosmics, led, and data
that I'm not wedded to, but right now, we're writing data to cosmics for
the most part.
