Software Meeting Minutes - January 22, 2004


Attending: A. Teymurazyan, A. Ahmidouch, I. Nakagawa, R. Demirchyan, M. Ito, D. Lawrence, D. McNulty, L. Gan(phone)

McNulty: Reported the clustering algolithm in the Hycal. The number of blocks in the cluster is not necessarily be 9 or 25 in the present algolithm. It varies depending on the radius from the central cell. The gap between blocks should be accounted later.
Demirchyan: Reported the method to improve the deviation of the calibration constants from the montecalro prediction.
Ito: New version of PrimEx software comes out with the feature to keep the private version of the software locally away from the public version. New enviromental valiable PRIMEX_MY will control the location of the private software to be installed. Details are avilable on the web .
Nakagawa: TAC analysis report from the Dec2003 luminosity test run. The first path tagging efficiency was computed after applying TDC cut on TAC events. The efficiency around 95% was dropped by 20% once TAC ADC cut was applied. More details need to be studied.
All: Everybody should come up with task lists for each part of the subsystem in the next software meeting. In the next meeting, these lists are combined to make an overall task lists for subsequent three stages (1) HYCAL test in the test lab (2) Software Test in the counting house (3) Production Run. The possible date for the software test is the maintenance period in the begining of March or April 12 ~ 17.
