Thanks Christian , Tonko and Gene.

It is good we dod not have to open up. The study Gene , though, is good to have for future references
if issues in the future. e.g. connection issues, power supply. If you can put in in your blogs it will be great.

best Flemming

Hello,

Christian found and fixed the problem. It was on the DAQ PC side.

Rough efficiency plots resulting from the loss of those two RDOs are attached as phi vs. eta for global tracks from ~1500 Run 19 AuAu200 events. First for all global tracks, and then with a 25 hit requirement.

For all globals, we can see that there isn't much impact for eta < 1 (the loss of hits doesn't keep the tracks from being found), but there's up to ~50% loss for tracks going through that sector at high eta where the tracks are shorter to begin with.

For the 25+ hit globals, we can see that the losses extend over a much larger range of eta because tracks drop below the cut on number of hits, with a larger efficiency drop than I expected. I'll investigate a little more and make a blog post.

iii) Gene, what is an estimated loss of efficiency for tracks in sector 8 with these two RDOs out? We ned some estimate on the loss of physics f this is not resolved.


....I seem to remember a similar study being done before, but I don't remember where it is nor whether it was pre- iTPC. What I can do relatively quickly is take some Run 19 AuAu200 data and process a few hundred events with and without those two RDOs and look at the distributions of lost tracks. Yuri may actually be more efficiently set up for a such a study than me, but I understand he's got plenty else on his plate.

Carrying those inefficiencies through to impact on loss of physics would likely require PWG/analyzer involvement.
