Data Analysis - Calorimeter Calibration

Jump to navigationJump to searchCalorimeter Overview
One should first become familiar with the SHMS and HMS calorimeters, and calorimetry in general. The development of the SHMS and HMS calorimeters are outlined on the Doc DB, in the linked references:
- PDG 2019 ch. 39 sec. 9
- NIM Article Overview DocDB 809-v1
- PMT Gain Variation Study DocDB 809-v1
- Some document explaining the software gain calibration.
- Periodic calorimeter construction updates under DocDB - Detectors.
The main aim of this section is to discuss the calorimeter calibration in software. Difficulty in calibrating the calorimeter for X>1 running illuminated some short-comings of the calibration script, which are also outlined here.
