L-PID
From Hall A Wiki
PID issues:
1,I cut on a small spot on PRL2.vs.PRL1 to select electrons, and look at the L.cer.asum_c (blue line). As you can see, there still have many low ADC channels in Cerenkov SUM, which means that from Cer, there are still many Pions. After I cut on L.cer.asum_c at >300, where the single electron peak is, the efficiency of electron already reduces to 97%.
2, I did the reverse way by cutting on high ADC channels of Cer Sum (4000~5900), which indicates that most of them should be electrons. However, when I cut on the electron peaks of PRL1&2, there are only 87% of electrons. It looks like some pions deposite very big energy in Cerenkov, which does not make sence since their energy must be very huge to produce big signals in cerenkov PMTs.
3, I look at the L.tr.beta (raw beta before timing calibration). As you can see, even I cut on PRL1.vs.PRL2 to pick electrons, in the beta spectrum, the peak of pion is still very comparable to electron peaks.
4, After only applying cut on L.cer.asum_c>4000, which basically can remove most of pion, I plot of L.tr.beta, and still find that there is a pion peak.
In a word, it looks like the ADC signals are not synchronized with triggers. We need to check.
