STAR QA Board

["Van Buren, Gene" <gene@bnl.gov>]

Weekly update:

Other than the automatic, continually updated things like TPC drift velocity, the only calibration updates I see are TPC gains on Feb. 20th, 25th, and 26th (but these are also rather routine updates as far as I understand, and it would be surprising if something notable was seen in physics reconstruction from these). The only likely relevant code updates in the past week have been modifications to the PicoDst the would have begun to show up around Feb. 19th or 20th.

Hi,

It seems that relevant to this meeting and the QA is some information on what updates have been made to calibrations and reconstruction codes over the past week. I posted a list of calibration database updates that I found to the calibrations list shortly after last week's QA meeting, and I'll paste that below. For this week, I've seen no calibration updates other than the automatic, continually updated things like TPC drift velocity. The only likely relevant code updates in the past week have been modifications to the PicoDst that will only begin showing up today.

Hope that helps,

-Gene

Begin forwarded message:

There were some notable updates to the calibrations in the offline database this week, so I will state what I interpret from what was modified in the database (with timestamps in GMT rounded to the nearest ~10 minutes), and I welcome any corrections to my interpretations.

TPC dE/dx calibrations for Runs 21

VPD & BTOF calibrations for Run 21

TPC dE/dx calibrations for Run 20

Another reminder is that updates applicable to Run 21 should get picked up by FastOffline jobs which begin in the few hours shortly after any particular runs complete at the experiment. For example, I would expect that the VPD & BTOF updates would be fully available to the processing of runs 22040017 and later, as well as perhaps a few of the jobs for runs immediately before that, perhaps reaching back to some jobs for runs taken at the end of day 039.

Thanks,
