Boost Analysis Status Matt Weaver MDI Meeting May 12, 2006
From last time… The combined fit appears to have the power to separately determine each beam’s *s or (and?) waist offsets. Some difficulty converging at a minimum, though. Local extrema (saddle points) Used common beta,waist fit to determine initial values for 7-parameter fit. Apply to data next.
Much difficulty with fits: inaccurate error estimates highly correlated parameters 2 not much improved investigating why function does not describe the data well { detector effects in y or y’ msmt? } Some improvement by re-expressing variables
