DVCS Trigger System
Current section contains DVCS Calorimeter Trigger System development materials.
Coordinator: Sergey Boyarinov
Leading developer: Benjamin Raydo
Support: Stepan Stepanyan, Rustam Niyazov

Sergey, Rustam (Oct-9-2007 through Oct-16-2007):
Calibration data: 10000 events ascii file generated from dvcs_047213.A00. Pedestals were used as for the run 46595 with the beam current=20 nA (presented on this plot).
Calibration data subset: About 3200 events ascii file contains pi0 events only. That file can be considered as a sample of 'good' events, trigger system should pass all of them.
Production data: 10000 events ascii file generated from clas_047210.A01 using pedestals for run 46595. ASCII file containing all 'good' events from the same datafile (actually all events from so-called skim file egg_47210_pass1_a01.bos).
