offsets 03/16/06
Here are the existing spectrometer offsets:
;These are offsets applied before
the call to the single arm montecarlos.
begin parm spect_offset
spec.e.offset.x = 0.
; x offset (cm)
spec.e.offset.y = 0.
; y offset (cm)
spec.e.offset.z = 0.
; z offset (cm)
spec.e.offset.xptar = -2.62 ; xptar
offset (mr) !x(y)ptar is slope, so
spec.e.offset.yptar = 0. ; yptar offset
(mr) !it's really unitless.
spec.p.offset.x = 0.
; x offset (cm)
spec.p.offset.y = 0.
; y offset (cm)
spec.p.offset.z = 0.
; z offset (cm)
spec.p.offset.xptar = 0. ; xptar offset
(mr)
spec.p.offset.yptar = 0. ; yptar offset
(mr)
end parm spect_offset
The y offsets need to be fit by looking at the mean of ytar in the
experimental data. The y offsets will then be the negative of the
mean of the data.
The existing xptar offset is very wrong. A POSITIVE xptar
corresponds to the spectrometer being below the target.
It is not clear whether the HMS should be given an xptar offset.
Tanja includes an HMS xptar offset of 1.1 mrad because in the HMS
optics data, the surveyed-reconstructed xptar were shifted relative to
each other by 1.1 mrad.
The heep data shows that to make the reconstructed particles coplanar,
the SOS xptar has an offset of
0.00363+0.000001078*exp((spcentral+1.0)**2.1)
with respect to the HMS xptar=0
plane. If the HMS xptar offset is not included, then this
coplanarity will not be preserved when the spectrometers are
rotated. One can picture that when a spectrometer is
rotated very close to the beam pipe, the lab phi angle will need a
larger correction for a given xptar offset compared to when the
spectrometer is at 90 deg.
Therefore, an HMS xptar offset of 1.1 mrad will be included in
simc.
