[Brahms-dev-l] bad runs .

Hi Selemon,

The problem is clearly that the T1 has no tracks due to lack y-hits. This is caused by bad drift velicity calibrations.
see the complete printput from the DB for T1 Vdrift
two period spring into the eyes namely
12855-13068 where = -1111
and
13185-13241 = -1111.

Clearly quality control failed when the calibrations were done. This MAY be due to lack of calibration fibres
active for those run periods, which did happen during other times too. The solution was to calibrate using one
set of the fibres at T2. There is code somewhere to this effect i.e. do calibrations using the other  

Does anyone remember where?

There may be comments e.g. on HV for the calibration fibres.

Since it is such a large number of runs (high filed 4 deg) it is worthwhile to redo the calibration (Vdrift)
rerun ltr, gtr and dst?

How did iI fund this. i) look at ffs  histograms - no tracks
ii) look at corresponding ltr hist , for t1 and t2. saw t2 track no t1 looked at hit distributions in X and Y saw no y-
iii) saw time distributions ok -> conclude Vdrift bad.
iv) check calibration database found -1111 -> done
