Tasks |
Sub-Tasks |
Status |
|
Unpacking (Gilvan Alves) |
Offline |
*
Unpacking utilities ready and released. *
Mapping from detector to AFE channel ready for a single spectrometer. * Conversion
from FPDDigiChunk to RawDataChunk
in progress. * Need calibration package for
a final release. |
|
Online |
*
Starting the work |
|
|
Alignment (Carlos Avila) |
|
* MC for vertical pots is ready * The
uncertainties for vertical alignment is ready * Working
on horizontal pots |
|
MC: Elastic + Background (Carlos
Avila) |
|
*
MC for elastic ready and tested *
Proper t-binning, acceptance, corrections for losses *
Studies on cross section error as a function of position with correction for
losses near the edge of detector underway. |
|
Tracking (Jorge Barreto) |
Offline FPDReco |
*
Single track reconstruction implemented *
ξ- and t-distributions obtained *
Acceptance studies completed *
Multi track is underway and almost completed *
Waiting for the unpack algorithm *
Final version in next release *
Tracking algorithm successfully reconstructs elastic data sample in single
hits environment. *
Working in multhits version of the code |
|
Online Tracking |
*
Waiting for AFE boards |
|
|
Calibration (Jorge Barreto) |
|
* To
be started soon |
|
SI Tool (Eduardo Gregores) |
|
*
Multiple SVX primary vertex veto implemented *
Maximum calorimeter energy cut included *
In CVS: l3ffpd_si – v.00.00.02 *
Waiting for Luminosity Monitor information * Still waiting for |
|
MI & Halo Rejection (Jorge Molina) |
|
*
Established that equations fit in FPGA with broad segmentation * Study
of the accuracy of MI rejection adopting different segmentations |
|
Database (Christophe Royon) |
|
* Pot
positions and alarms in Oracle databases. *
Need to add the beam parameters to calculate beam positions, and expected pot
positions from Python program (WHO ?) |
|
Gap Tool (Michael Strang) |
|
* Set groundwork in l2met worker to
include rings of η to construct gaps *
Rings are being put in the l2calmet_analyze package |
|
Analysis Package (Michael Strang) |
Online Monitoring |
* Standalone
histogram working * Waiting
for FPD integration in DØ to establish exact form of the tools |
|
Offline Analysis |
* Waiting
for FPD integration in DØ to establish exact form of the tools * MIKE |
|
|
Monte Carlo (Andre Sznajder) |
MC Samples |
* 1000 events generated with Pompyt and PomWig * Waiting for DØSim release to digitize MC sample *
POMPYT (Ingelman-Schlein + PYTHIA), POMWIG (Ingelman-Schlein + HERWIG) and SCIPYT(Soft-Color + PYTHIA) are
already in the test release of D0dist. * RapGap new version to be incorporated * New
version in the head of CVS |
|
DØgStar/SIMPP |
* FPD is fully integrated * FPD
module can be activated setting a DØgStar title card switch |
|
|
FPDDigi (Andre Sznajder) |
|
* Changing
DigiChunk * It
is included in DØSim
* Should
be available in p13 |
|
Firmware (Mario Vaz) |
|
* PU
trigger equations: - VHDL code made from FPD tracking
equations with fine segments for low t and with coarse segments for high t. - VHDL compiled and implemented for XCV600
using test files. - Firmware being implemented for XCV800
using DFE VHDL files for CFT/CPS. * DI
and PI trigger equations: - VHDL test code being made. |
