Mac MestayerFeb. 24, 2008CLAS OTWG: Status Report Members: me, Franz Klein, Dennis Weygand Projects: –improve tracking work of Henry Juengst, with Dennis –standardize cooking, calibration unified dc/cooking: David L., Pawel Nadel-Turonski “how to” cook: Ken Livingston “how to” calibrate dc’s: Matt Bellis –other: helicity reporting, partial inefficiencies

Mac MestayerFeb. 24, 2008CLAS OTWG: Status Report Improve tracking New event reconstruction package –written by Henry J. –much more general than SDA –less stringent requirements on number of hits, etc.  higher efficiency, especially at low momentum –correct model for trajectory with energy loss  better momentum resolution –extensive use of GEANT, multiple iterations  still very slow Dennis and Henry are working on it

Mac MestayerFeb. 24, 2008CLAS OTWG: Status Report Standardize cooking/calibration unified dc/cooking: –David Lawrence, Pawel Nadel-Turonski –different pages for different roles (cook, dc-calibrator, dc- expert, etc.) –enforces consistency and documentation “how-to” manual for cooking –Ken Livingston clasweb.jlab.org/rungroups/g13/wiki/index.php/Cooking_and_Calibrati on_HOWTO Overview and tutorial

Mac MestayerFeb. 24, 2008CLAS OTWG: Status Report Work for the future several projects –“how-to” simulate partial inefficiencies –“how-to” handle delayed reporting –other ? new paradigm –Management  “advice and information” to chefs/calibrators (faq’s, best-practice recommendations) to coordinating committee (priority of tasks) to service work committee (quality of work)
