Summary
• roughly 200 ‘plane trigger’ runs available for analysis in March-July time period.
• A small number of cabling errors have been ‘fixed’ in the plex, reprocessing complete (at IU)
– Improvement in time resolution: ~ 5% velocity resolution now observed.
• Primary Data Analysis/Reconstruction Activities
– Calibration Constant Refinement/Stability Studies
– Demultiplexing Optimization
– Detector Aligmment Studies
– Up-going Muon Searches
– Contained Event Analyses
• The Future
NUMI
Calibrations (1) Timing
• T0s: Independent determination by Lee, Musser, Rebel,Tardiff.
• Timewalk: Independent determination by Lee, Musser.
• Studies indicate that calibrations hold at better than 1 ns over the March-July time period.
• Calibration quality is sufficiently good at this time to consider batch data processing and production of DSTs.

T0 Calibration
T0s vs Channel-15 ns < T0 < 15 ns

L/R strip timing vs track positionpredicts 2.2 ns.

T0 Stability
T0 differences between two data setsseparated by 2 months.
NUMI
T0 Stability (2)
Stability is better than 1 ns over this period. However, some statistically significant differences are seen.
NUMI
Velocity Resolution/Stability
Average muon 1/vs run, from March to the present. Average is stable to much better than 1%.
Average 1/ RMS vs run, from March to the present. RMS is stableat 8%

Demuxing Optimization
• Optimization of ‘IU’ demuxer is ongoing, all pathological events sent to B. Rebel.
• UMN group is working on an alternative demuxer, based on ‘global’ event analysis (rather than event swimming, as in IU code) Status will be reported in this meeting.
NUMI
Detector Alignment
• SM1 will be energized in the near future. This makes detector alignment studies very timely. There is now a group of people actively working on this. Results will be presented by Nelson, Lee, Boehnlein, Becker, and Viren at this meeting.

Alignment Using Muons (Post Nicolai)
Work Presented in 6/02 by R. Lee
Single Strip Tracking Uncertainty is ~ 2.3 mm.

NUMI
Upgoing Muons
• Searches for upgoing muons being conducted by Rebel, Musser, Lee, and Tardiff.
• ~ 6 candidate events (in my analysis)
• Data from March to July 1 now processed.

Contained Events
• Most of this work is being conducted by Roy in conjunction with veto shield study.
• Expect ~ 0.7 fully contained, reconstructed events in this data set.

The Future
• The state of calibrations and reconstruction is consistent with moving towards batch processing of data, and generation of DSTs.
• Broader participation in reconstruction and analysis is highly desirable. The following steps will be taken to assist in this - thoughts on how we can do better are appreciated:
– Maintainance of a ‘needed task list’ on MINOS web site.
– Improve documentation for reconstruction software.
– Begin batch data processing, making DSTs available to general users.
