March 2002 E98108 Online Analysis

Running ESPACE online:

Log on as adaq@adaql1 or adaq@adaql4 (NOT adaql2 which is being used for DAQ), password is written on the board ;
Type goespace to go to the analysis directory;
Type espace_kaon (or espace or espace_new -- they are linked together now) to run the E98108 version of ESPACE;

To check detectors (both Left and Right arms):

Type exec espace_kumac/e98108_det_espace (or just ek/det)
Answer the questions (first event is 1, and 30,000 events would be good enough)
The hbook file will be created in the hbook directory with the name e98108_det_[nrun].hbook
From a PAW session type exec paw_kumac/e98108_det_paw (There is not yet a comparable physics paw kumac.)
From a PAW session, you can also execute the new panel Marius created by typing "exekaon"

To run a physics analysis :

Type espace_kaon
Type exec kaon_kinXX where XX is the kinematics number
Answer the questions (first event is 1, analyze the entire run)
To estimate the kaon yield, add the file hbook/kaon_[nrun] to the ntuple chain in chain_kin[##].kumac.
If Pete or Marius have not been too lazy you can also execute cleanXX.kumac in paw instead.

In paw, type, e.g., exec chain_kin[##] followed by hi/pl 3 and manually integrate the missing mass with the cursor.

Look at the other histograms and in the ntuple for other items of interest (Q², W, etcetera).

Check histograms against the reference ones (see folder in counting house):

Run paw (command paw++) ;

To check detectors in both arms :

Type exec paw_kumac/e98108_det_paw and compare the histograms with the reference ones.
