AIEC Weekly Meeting Aug. 25, 2022

Agenda:

1. Previous Meeting

2. Activities:
   • Quantification of bad gain calibrations
   • CPP
     • Looking at initial results comparing traditional GCF compared to roboCDC GCF in progress
     • HVB Currents during initialization are not consistent with what we see during actual running, but are consistent with data from the HVBs from EPICS
     • Naomi identified why our model never learned anything useful from HVB current, related to the CDC alcohol swap between 2018 and 2020 run periods. This affects the gains.
     • CPP plans
     • CPP preparations
   • Grafana CDC dashboard
   • PrimeX Preparations:
     • Naomi informed Igal that roboCDC will be running during PrimEx. He said thank you.
     • In regards to the look back: HVB current will be fixed and ignored, so there really is no need for a look back for Primex.
     • Max vs Mean A HVBi Mean v Max slides
   • Capstone Students
     • Won't start until the middle/end of October.
     • Oct. - Dec. will purely be EDA and basic project understanding
       • 4 - 6+ hours of meetings to be expected in this timeframe
     • Really get going on the project in January.
   • FDC calibration
     • Reach out to Lubomir alternative FDC for cosmics- David.
     • 2020 CDC-FDC model results: CDC-FDC model slides
     • Potentially give capstone students FDC calibration model development
     • Discuss with Simon how useful FDC calibration constants are for physics analyses
3. • Next steps
     • CLAS12 Polarized Targets
       • Update from James (8/25): concern about poor fits that give polarization (i.e. Diana's eventual target values). Can begin initial data exploration whenever we have time.
       • data from fits to obtain polarization AND relevant EPICS data are stored in json files located in /group/poltar/HallB/RGC and should be readable
     • **AIEC Auto Control Wish List:**
       • Scroll to "Better Look Back Ideas" section: CPP Plans - Better Look Back Ideas
     • GlueX TOF
     • BCAL baseline (slides) - David follows up:
       • Do we need another sensor?
       • What are the limitations on existing sensor and logging of temp value?

4. Workshops

5. Talks/Presentations
   • Torri and Diana presenting at QNP (QNP)
