Amplitudes alignment

The idea is to align the ADC signals by calibrating the gain & peds DB coefficients. This is done using a script by Yi which fits the signal and peds peaks for each ADC, and then calculate the coefficients for conversion of the amplitude to energy by minimization of chi^2 of the width of (E-p)^2

To run it:

  • Step 1 - Produce a pedestal run and a signal run for each spectrometer.
  • Step 2 - Run the calibration tool. The script will ask for a pedestal run and a signal run.

It will then fit the pedestal and signal peaks for each ADC and ask for your confirmation for example:File:Calib_pr_gui.jpg

  • Step 3 - Calibration check:

plot E = PR1+PR2 vs p (from vdc):

. Identify the Pion and Electron blobs.

  • Step 4 - Install the new DB and estimate resolution by plotting E/p.
