With the help of Fatiha, I tried getting some PID in the R-HRS and failed. The main problem is the new TDCs we have up there. With a 500ps resolutions and a 2ns time difference between protons and neutrons there's not much to do on line. What I was able to do is to use a vertex reconstruction cut. Below are plots for the old and new kinematics. Same runs as halog 354044 were used. Here are the number of events in the peak: 625MeV/c: No vertex cut : 1100 With vertex cut: 720 750MeV/c: No vertex cut : 610 With vertex cut: 410 I think that with better HRS optics offline this will be the best way to kill randon coincedences in the HRSs.
