Hi, Lanny

I do believe it is possible to do so. I will discuss with the TPC group.

Thanks,

Hi Gene:

OK, then is it possible to mask out this RDO for purposes of track

reconstruction?

Hi, Lanny and all

The noise in RDO 20:3 does have the potential to affect tracking. I just made a plot of NHitsFit for tracks going through this region for a couple runs in that range and I see that there are still tracks with nearly the full number of possible hits, so some tracks are picking up these hits.

Hi Gene:

Two things came up yesterday that I need to ask you about.

1) There were runs on day 114 that had very few files processed by fast-offline.

I see that today there are more. Great! I'll ask Yan to go back and

complete the QA and report for these runs. Thanks!

2) For runs 22115046 - 22116015 TPC sector 20 , RDO 3 was partly filled

with noise from the previous run. Will these false hits affect tracking?

Thanks,

Lanny
