keyword=BCM calibration using one calorimeter point
I adjusted the coefficient so that BCM and MPS readout match at 200 nA,
this give a factor of 3.81 so I think values on 1H00 were about 4 times
smaller since I increased the gain.
From the calorimeter run I estimated charge sent to be
Delta T / Heat capacity / beam energy
root [8] 8.313/8568.6/2253
(const double)4.30612585952742999e-07
so 0.43 uC
and this gave for 25.43 minutes an average current of 28.2 nA which is
pretty close to the 25 nA requested, I will put the exact constant when
the OPS EPICS screen gets updated since it should display
(IBC1H00MAGA+IBC1H00MAGB)/2 but displays now
CALC\{((A+B)/120)}(IBC1H00MAGA,IBC1H00MAGB)
I updated the constant of the BCM screen using this 28 nA :
root [0] 0.028/(1345-153.1)
(const double)2.34919036831948975e-05
root [1] 0.028/(1655-172)
(const double)1.88806473364801066e-05

[adaq@adaql7 ~]$ caput IBC1H00CURB.C 1.88806473364801066e-05
..................................................................
Old : IBC1H00CURB.C 3.73413e-06
New : IBC1H00CURB.C 1.88806e-05
so now IBC1H00BCMAVG is pretty consistant with the MCC value.
I will get a more accurate calibration with a few additionnal calorimeter
points, that would be nice to crosscheck with Faraday Cup when Hall B and
Hall C have a downtime.
Pengjia will do the analysis for the scalers from the calorimeter run.
