Week+of+Monday+March+3rd

=Monday, March 3rd, 2008= I worked on the 3 runs today again. =Tuesday, March 4th, 2008= I talked to DL today and I now have a new assignment. i. And then perhaps again for just ecal, and just hcal? =Wednesday, March 5th, 2008= Why would we use RMS when there are no negatives? In mathematics the root mean square (abbreviated RMS or rms), also known as the quadratic mean, is a statistical measure of the magnitude of a varying quantity. It is especially useful when variates are positive and negative, e.g., sinusoids. Click  here to learn what I am doing. =Thursday, March 6th, 2008= So, all of today we watched Power Points from our classmates. Overall they were good. I'd rather not say on here though what I wrote. =Friday, March 7th, 2008= I worked on OGRE completing my tasks. To see what I did look here.
 * 1) Lateral size study (= how wide is the shower)
 * 2) Width = % of E deposited in the target (1x1), its near neighbors (3x3), and next nearest (5x) on the total energy graphs
 * 1) For each of three particles
 * 2) As a function of beam energy (50GeV, 100, 150)
 * 3) Can look at individual runs first, then as a group
 * 4) Using cuts to select non-zeroes (ie, particles which did not deposit)
 * 5) Plot each of these
 * 6) tricks: you have to run a 1x1 study for your data, and get the data set name from the title of the resulting plot. Then use the file names, separated by a “:”, in the 1:5 ratio requests, etc.
 * 7) Use the RMS values from the calibrated plots
