Hi Pelle,

first of all I must confess that I should have waited a little more to 
send the plots around, they're way too preliminary, but that day I was 
kind of thrilled and I wanted to share...
There are some bias in the plots I'm aware of and they should be just 
taken as an example of how things will work. Let me summarize the main 
idea, then I'll try to answer your question and after that I'll tell you 
what still needs to be decided and done.

1)Simulations: I don't have at hands data simulated at commissioning run 
conditions. I don't have the complete "know-how" at the moment, but 
instead of spending time on it I'd rather work on the calibration 
machinery.

the calibration is based on the fit of the SeedHits energy distributions 
of full energy electrons. The selection of these events will be covered 
answering your questions. I have 2.2 GeV data and to obtain some values 
usable for our data I just made a simple propotion:   2.2CalibPoint : 
2.2 Gev Beam = 1.92 CalibPoint : 1.92 GeV beam.
It assumes the linearity of the energy deposition in the seed, and I 
think it's fair enough, and can be refined taking into account the 
longitudinal sampling fraction. Since at both 2.2 and 1.92 GeV FEE 
clusters involve more than one crystal, I think the value I use it's 
good within a few percents of precision, enough to test the calibration.

  GTP and IC clusters are those readable in the reconstructed data, I 
used the seedhit distribution of the GTP clusters to set the calibration 
point and then multiplyed the IC data (both seed hits and clustes 
energy) by that value: 
CalibratedEnergy=(FitPointFromSimulation/FitPointFromData)*RawEnergy. 
This is a bias, I know! Keep in mind that seedhit energy distribution 
for FEE is independent from the clustering algorithm.

Anyway GTP and IC clusters are what you say they are.

The only thing I did is read the clusters and seedhit enrgies and dump 
them on txt file for analysis, I didn't write back anything in the slcio 
file. Everything is offline, now. What happens after i set the new gain 
values, is up to us.

Studying the simulations i showed that, at 2.2Gev, selecting clusters 
with E>1.5 is enough to see the FEE peak. It doesn't need to be precise 
because we are interested in the high energy tail and cut off, so it's 
just a threshold. For this run I just scaled the cut proportionally

It the plots it's just one crystal.

It's artificial, cutting out low energy stuff keep the SeedHit energy 
distribution clearer and easier to fit.

I fit the seed hit energy distribution of simulated data with a 
complementary error function multiplied by a third grade polinomial. The 
calibration point is the half-height slope. I do the same with the real 
data and their ratio is the "gain". At this point it isn't right, yet, 
because I haven't plotted raw energy but "cosmic calibrated" energy. See 
comments later

This is a good point and I'm not 100% sure. I've tried to ask during 
past months but didn't get clear answers. I've been plotting the energy 
distributions of clusters blindly trusting who wrote the simulation 
drivers, but i think, since energy deposition in crystal is simulated in 
SLIC, it doesn't give you the complete energy of the particle, just the 
fraction depositated in the crystal so both real and simulated data 
should be in the same condition, i.e., not-sampling fraction corrected.

I noticed it, and I'm pretty sure it is due to the fact that seed 
threshold for run 3261 is set to 500 MeV. It doesn't affect the calibration.


Now some consideration:
This is done on top of holly's cosmics calibration. What I want to do 
now is divide out the gain values and plot the raw energy and obtain 
some independent values. If things work right, a fit of my values and 
holly's values should point to the pedestal values. I actually need to 
understand how to deal with pedestals, it's something I wanted to ask 
during last software meeting but we got lost talking about talks. I'll 
discuss it today at ecal meeting. It should be fine and easy.

There is a lot more to do, but I think the outlook is good.

Bests
Luca
