Data Analysis

Data Analysis

This page contains the analysis for the Texas A&M campaign, it is intended as a shared "how-to" page to analyse the different detectors. Typical information of Calibration files, calibration macros, Calibrated spectra, Particle Identification plots, Detector-specific analysis methods or formulae, caveats should go here.

• Finding the Beam spot using TIARA

List of Detectors:

• Tiara Matchsticks Calibration
• Tiara-Hyball Calibration
• Tiara-Hyball Analysis
• Tiara-Barrel Calibration
• Tiara-Barrel Analysis
• HPGe Calibration
• HPGe Analysis
• Focal Plane Detector Calibration
• Focal Plane Detector Analysis
• List of calibration-coefficients files with associated macros

NPTOOL work flow

As a very basic, let's remember we have to "make" each time we change something related to the code (e.g., *.cxx). And let's keep in mind there are only two locations that you should make.

• Inside the NPLibrary: cmake ./ followed by make install (e.g., make -jN install (N=number of cpus)) on NPLibrary directory (Note: cmake -GNinja ./ and then ninja if you're using Ninja (e.g., on gca server))
• Inside T40: make on T40 directory (Note: cmake -GNinja ./ and then ninja if you're using Ninja (e.g., on gca server))

NPTOOL energy loss options

Also, as a tip, if you want to change the setup of energy loss options, set options in Analysis.cxx. The energy loss data table are stored in nptool/Input/EnergyLoss directory.

If you didn't find energy loss data table that you want, you can easily create a new data table file. In case of SRIM, run SRIM and then just use its output table file. The format is same and calculate energy loss in MeV/mm. Move the header from "==== Calculation using SRIM-20XX =====" to "Ion energy dE/dx ...." to below energy loss table. For details, compare the table file with existing files.
