Talks about muons
The more recent talks are only provided in Adobe PDF format. To read those files, download the Adobe Acrobat Reader from www.adobe.com. I seem to have some configuration problem, that can cause a browser to crash on these PDFs. However, if you save the file and then open it, I believe it always works. Let me know if you have a problem.

Scintillator timing studies, my plots, Andrew's plots (Jan 17 2002, Muon ID mtg)

Looking at real muons with L3Muon (July 28, 2001; at the experiment integration mtg) (and here are the mentioned event displays)
NB: The last slide "Results" mentions a rejection factor on "zero bias events". This should be "minimum bias events": Events taken with the triggerlist official/global_timedin_checkfz 1.1.

(An attempt at) Finding real muons in Run II (June 29, 2001; at the commissioning meeting)

Profiling muon reco (April 12, 2001; at the muon ID meeting)   [ppt]

Muon Software Status (plots from muon ID and local tracking performance) [ppt] (shown at All-D0 meeting, March 16, 2001)

Level 3 Muon
(can't read some of the recent pdf files? save them first- then read them with Acrobat separately)

Most recent status report (by me)

Central Track Matching (March 1, 2001; at the muon ID meeting)   [ppt]

Timing of L3TMuoUnpack (v00-03-02) (Jan 17, 2001; at the L3 filter meeting)   [plots]   [ppt]
(Badly out-of-date, I'm sorry. Currently (April 2001) unpacking takes ~4 ms/event on single muons on d0mino.)

Pocket User Guide to Level 3 Muon Tools (Oct 26, 2000, ScriptRunner Tutorial) [ppt]
(Actual guide)

Testing L3 Muon unpacking online (Oct 2000, collaboration mtg) [ppt]

The Dec 99 Muon Code Review

Some suggestions on how to improve the muon code design (Feb 3, 2000)
This talk focuses on memory management.

Muon Code Review - classes (Feb 7, 2000)
In this talk, focus is on the question 'does functionality sit in the right class'.
