PAW Module

PAW Module

HAPPEX
This module is turned on in par_onlana and may be turned on in par_replay using the -m p option.

When the PAW module is used in the HAPPEX analyzer, a file named parity99_nnnn.hbook is created, where nnnn is the run number. (The file is created in the directory $PARITY_WRITE in the online analyzer or $PARITY_RESULTS in the replay analyzer. Actually the hbook file name depends on the value of $PARITY_PREFIX. See environment variables and defaults for a description of $PARITY_PREFIX.)

The .hbook file contains two ntuples, 20 and 21. Ntuple 20 contains information for each event window; ntuple 21 contains information for each pair. Most of the entries in ntuple 20 contain ADC data (in units of ADC channels); in addition, there are entries containing values of x and y coordinates computed for each BPM (in units of mm). These entries have tags that describe the input signal or computed value.

There are two entries in ntuple 21 for each ADC channel or computed value, having the letters r and l appended to their tags, corresponding to data for the "right" and "left" helicity members of each pair. (These may or may not correspond to right and left helicity electrons.)

In addition to these ADC data entries, other members of the ntuples are:

Ntuple 20 only:
helicityvalue of helicity bit
hvvalue of the Pockels cell HV DAC for this event
realtimevalue of realtime bit
t"time" (more accurately, event number) for this event
Ntuple 21 only:
hvl (hvr)value of the Pockels cell HV DAC for left (right) helicity event
taverage of tl and tr
tl (tr)"time" (more accurately, event number) for left (right) helicity event
tlo (tro)"time" (more accurately, event number) for left (right) helicity event of previous pair
Ntuples 20 and 21:
goodnonzero if event or pair passes cuts
modobjID number of the coil or other object being modulated
modvalcurrent setpoint of the object being modulated
minirunfeedback minirun number
speriodvalue of the superperiod bit (not presently used)
trigtrigger type (i.e. oversampling timeslot)

A number of KUMAC files are available to facilitate analysis.
