Status of CTF MC production at UTA

1
Status of CTF MC production at UTA

• Samples being processed with p13.05
• Templates submitted for
• Z?ee, ??, ?? 25k each
• W?e?, ??, ?? 25k each
• QCD pTgt20 100k
• 40 100k
• 80 50k
• Files for various stages showing up in SAM
  search for CTF13 (note new naming convention)
• d0gstar/sim 340 files
• tmb/reco 130 files (Z, We?)
• First set being run with 1.5? -- 2.0? and 2.5? to
  follow
• Need a way to distinguish files

• These should be finished within 7-10 days
• What other sets needed?
• Other processes ?jet,
• Other noise values?
• MinBias overlays? (MC? Data?)
• Non-uniform ZeSu runs? (eg. higher for
  CH than rest)
• HAVE TO MAKE CHOICES NOW
• Possible interference with Moriond production?
• Solved production problems during holiday period
• Changing the zero suppression threshold took many
  tries
• Storing files in SAM was not straightforward
  either

CTF endgame

• Original end date 15 Jan 2003 gives no chance
  to finish production, look at new samples
• Proposal
• ask for extension of 2-4 weeks
• 3 aspects of endgame
• Online threshold
• Decide before end of shutdown
• Any reasons to stay below 2??
• Constraints from DAQ/storage?
• Higher cut for ?gt3.2?
• Offline scheme
• Possibly different thresholds for CH and rest
  (code modification)
• Any need for more thresholds?
• Algorithmic modifications on CTF timescale? 4-2
  scheme?
• Documentation, including suggestions for future
  work

• Studies to finish (will need names assigned to
  each one)
• Impact on EM resolution
• Impact on jet response and resolution (after
  removing CH or keeping a fixed high threshold)
• Impact on jet profiles
• Impact on ? vs QCD separation
• Impact on isolated muons
• Protections against fake jets
• Protections for MET
• Any further plans for
• More verification/development of simulation code?
• Changes to noise/zesu files?
