10:05 → 10:10 Status

Speaker: Zhijing Zhang (TDLI, SJTU)

  

Today's focus: 

[STCF]:

• Learned the experimental setup and relevant knowledge for CsI crystal time decay test.
• Ran preliminary optical simulations of a CsI crystal using a small number of events.

[DarkSHINE]:

• Studied the optical photon transport simulation of LYSO crystals and the progress is the same as above. A full simulation with sufficient statistics is still in progress.

Plans: 

 

For both projects:

• Learn more about other experimental tests to broaden my understanding of the experimental procedures.
• Run simulations with sufficient statistics to obtain the light output and plot its dependence on the particle interaction position.

10:10 → 10:20 Status

Speaker: Kang Yu (TDLI, SJTU)

10:20 → 10:30 Status

Speaker: Linjing Duan (TDLI, SJTU)

ZZy

[Finished]

• Developed a clearer framework-level understanding of how the HGamGamStar and EasyJet workflows correspond
• Reviewed the HZy implementations and prepared an initial mapping of the parts that may be reused or adapted for ZZγ.
• Prepared the overall MC sample request workflow and a checklist for each step.

[Plan]

• Refine the mapping and start a minimal EasyJet ZZγ implementation, focusing on the four-lepton and two-ZZ reconstruction, followed by an initial Run-2 comparison with HGamGamStar.
• Discuss the detailed task allocation，prepare Run-3 JOs based on the Run-2 configurations, and begin Sherpa integration checks for convergence, cross sections, and EVNT generation.

Today's focus: 

[ssWW]:

• Unfolding: Config from Yi is understood. Tests went well, with small issues from my side but I think it is solved. Config also modified to account for more variables. Should be able to share results to internal group in the coming days.

[VBS_Kappa ]:

• UFO modification : On-going, advancing well (at the level on tests implementions through MG5).
   

---

Plans: 

• [ssWW] Follow with the unfolding. Waiting for EFT production to start this one too.
• [VBS_Kappa] Thinking about exploring Sherpa3 as a generator, following the ATLAS Run-3 decision for polarization samples. (And following the informal discussion with Tairan the other day regarding Sherpa3 being more advanced than MG5 on polarization theory side).
• [ZZy] Plans to introduce and include Rui Yang to the SJTU/TDLI team's effort this afternoon.
