PARTICIPANTS: Bill Li, David Richards, Garth Huber, Patrick Barry, Petr Stepanov, Rachel Montgomery, Richard Trotta, Rolf Ent, Stephen Kay, Tobias Frederico, Tanja Horn
PLANNING DETECTORS 2ND IR (Bill, Yulia, Dmitry)
- ZDC in IR2 on outer side (on inner side in IR6)
- IP8 released on June 7th. Fully implemented in g4e, EIC-root, and Fun4all
- rear detectors no optimization efforts yet - not aligned properly
- Configuration looks good. 275 GeV beam steers well - need to demonstrate that also for lower beam energies
- ZDC 50 GeV pi0 @IP6 (IP8)
- Fun4All specific issues
- ZDC 2m long - interferes with ionBXD magnet - need to investigate impact of moving ZDC forward etc.
- Virtual detectors in 2nd IR
- implemented in IP8 beamline (yellow planes)
- Main Actions
- Beam profile at the secondary focus
- Investigate lower beam energies - scale magnets for lower energies
- Additional actions shown in slides
GLOBAL FITTING (Patrick)
- Good progress with global fitting including lattice points to examine JLab data - get better constraints
- DY+LN+lattice studies
- Valence distributions: most impact at intermediate x - lattice doesn't have much impact at low x (~0.15) and high x (~0.95)
- main interest in impact on current-current data
- NLO, still could look at threshold resummation - lattice probably not as sensitive as data since coefficients in matching regions are well behaved
MESON SF and FF PROJECTIONS (Richard, Stephen)
MESON SF
- Optimized binning setup
- Corrected a bug in t-distribution
- Investigating a cut at t~0.1 GeV that should not be there
- Setting up Fun4All simulation campaign
- Encountered some errors with output files as input to EICSmear
- Limit on set is ~5000-10000 events - more detail on how to run in ECCE simulations/computing meeting
MESON FF
- Event weighting: EICSmear and Fun4All cannot deal with weights associated to events - need that for rate projections
- Exclusive generator (DEMPGen) ready, counter for event rejection statistics, produced several beam energy combinations
- Kaon Generator
- modifying pion generator
- next: phase space, detector optimizations (resolution, positioning)
- Action
- run kaon/lambda with both IP6 and IP8 - expect results to be different
THEORY (Tobias)
- Finalized a paper on pion form factor
- Ongoing effort: Working on PDFs with Minkowski space formalism
- one gluon exchange - might expect similar behaviour as lattice
NEXT MEETING: MONDAY 28 JUNE AT 4:00 PM ET
