Brahms, I have been working on the ZDC vertex efficiency issue for the 63GeV data. I decided to go ahead and determine new slew parameters and vertex offsets for the 63GeV data. I committed parameters at runs 11298 11311 11331 11377 11422 11459 11491 11546 In addition to this, I developed a new method for generating the ZDC vertex. JH via Hiro showed me a plot that shows the ZDC vertex efficiency is fairly low at the most central collisions. The old method for determining the vertex limits the efficiency, so I made a slight change in the method. You can see what I did at http://www4.rcf.bnl.gov/~ebj/ZDCefficiency/zdcefficiency.html if you want a better picture of the plots go to http://www4.rcf.bnl.gov/~ebj/ZDCefficiency/ if there are no objections by the end of tomorrow I will commit the new code to CVS.

About the calibration of vertex detectors (BB and ZDC), here is my proposal. 1. For BB. After looking and checking codes and calibrations for some runs, the calibrations are already quite good. However, since there is a new parameter in BB vertex offset (useall or something), we need to commit them if we want to use that option. So, the suggestion is A. Find run numbers which have bb calibrations. Use http://pii3.brahms.bnl.gov/daq-cgi-bin/cgiCalibrationDB.perl page. Unless there are only fews runs with commited calibration, you only need to check those runs you find in this page. B. Run BbVtxOffset.C script with SetUseAllAsBest option. C. Check the offset values as well as (bb) tof plot. From the tof plot, you can easily find a bad tube if there is one. If you are satisfied, commit them. 2. For ZDC. Again, you just need to check offset here since the calibration done by Erik looks already good. However, since there is no new parameters, you don't need to commit the calibration if they are already good. Only if the calibration in the database is bad, commit a new calibration. If you have any question, please let me know.
