Hi Gene and all,

Here is the picture I took on shift when we had TPC filed cage current alarms.

Best regards,

Hongwei Ke

There are still a few jobs running, but many have finished if anyone wants to take a quick look before the noon QA meeting.

I indeed missed it and just learned about it now by reading this thread. Database updated, and we'll reprocess the run.

Thanks,

Hi Rosi,

I agree. I think many of us were caught unaware of the fact that we were going to collect FXT data. Now that we know it is a possibility during CeC running, I hope we can set the vertexing correct for the future.

Hi Ben,

We could ask Gene to change the settings - and then perhaps have
another small production done in order to give you something to
analyze from the whole data set.  I suppose we will be doing this
again so probably can have the FXT settings loaded for the CeC running
in the future.

Cheers,

Rosi

Hi QA board,

Yesterday evening we had one run of 26.5GeV FXT data during CeC running. You can look at my QA for that one run here: https://www.star.bnl.gov/protected/lfsupc/bkimel/run20QA/AuAu_26p5GeV_FXT/day211/AuAu_26p5GeV_FXT_run_21211028_QA.pdf

There are a few things I want to point out:

The vertexing algorithm was not adjusted for FXT (I'm guessing that Gene didn't know that we were going to take FXT data and didn't change the algorithm, but I only found out at the end of the run)
On slides 7&8, the right column shows only tracks that have dE/dx<1. In 2019, we had seen an issue with a large number of tracks having dE/dx<1, which is why these QA plots exist. This seems to be a similar issue, although it appears that the particle bands in dE/dx are very wide. I cannot remember the cause of this, but I will look back through emails to identify that before we meet tomorrow.
On slide 5, we can see shadow bands in the eToF 1/beta and mass distribution, which shows that it is not properly calibrated.
