STAR task force for evaluating tracking efficiency uncertainty

[David Stewart <david.j.stewart AT yale.edu>]

Hi Grigory,
Thank you for the link to Egor's slides. I have looked through them.

My current status is I have verified that the .DEV2 and .dev makers are writing out the same number of `QA :INFO  - StIOMaker:` calls for event, run, and eventid. I have also verified that I can call the .dev code with the same string argument to the bfc.

I have moved onto a larger sample to now reproduce my plots with a new set of data to see if the number of entries in .dev and .DEV2 are similar. These take a long time to run, but are only 18 jobs (i.e. one per each of the sample *.daq files that I have pulled locally) so it's not a terrific strain on resources. Those should finish running tomorrow and then we'll see what is what. I saw some funny things with an earlier result, but that was referencing the daq files in my scratch directory, so I think it's best to wait for these results tomorrow. If all goes well, then those results will be consistent, providing assurance that the .dev simulation is a good migration of the .DEV2 code.

I'm open to questions, comments, and corrections,

Thanks,
Dave

Hi David,

I found the slides from Egor: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/Compiling_GMT-software.pdf

Please let us know if you have any questions. Could you please tell what are the steps you are doing now?

Again, sorry that missed the last meeting.

Thanks,

Grigory

Hi Grigory,

This morning in the tracking efficiency meeting, Yuri suggested that what I am doing might overlap significantly with work you did in presenting comparisons of the .DEV2 and dev libraries regarding the GMT for a TPC collaboration meeting about a year ago. In interest of efficiency and not redoing your valuable work, could you point me to that presentation?

Thanks very much,

Dave
