This page has not been updated for a long time because the development of the cnipol had moved to github: https://github.com/rhicspin/cnipol

To do (proposed)

~~enable detector 4 in Yel2 (run.db change...)~~
~~check limits for Gaussian fit of polarization profile~~
investigate crashes on earlier data with small number of events, e.g. run 14802.001
change root tree file creation procedure
give names to parameters
add online make process to the overall makefile

Increase labels font (also move signature up)
Adjust axis scales: polarization, profile, etc

Rename RunInfo to MeasurementInfo to reflect the actual (for measurement)

test online code after changing the compiling procedure
investigate crashes on 15200.206

v1.8.8

Committed revision 1623

v1.8.0

In the online part of the code:
- Improved the management of the log file
- The measurement type is now supported and saved in raw data file. Can get it from command line option -T and CDEV

v1.7.1

Removed all scale factors from the code. They will be applied directly on the DB results
Better management of MySQL connections

v1.6.3

Added possibility for saving pulser histograms from empty bunches

Noise and pulser data from empty bunches is subtracted from data from filled bunches

Changed proto cuts for Y2U (pol=3) from adcmin=30 adcmax=180 tdcmin=0 tdcmax=72 to adcmin=30 adcmax=210 tdcmin=0 tdcmax=78. Based on 15202.302

v1.6.2

Now save maximum polarization from the P vs I fit in AnaResult

v1.6.1

Fixed the bug related to target orientation

v1.6.0

Introduced a bug related to target orientation. Some H targets are reported as V ones
Automatically disable 90 degree detectors for horizontal targets
Improved control of active and disabled channels
Added a unique identifier (the suffix option) to allow for easier management of multiple output from the same data analysis
Added an option to disable channels for specified detectors

v1.4.1

The Average TOF length is used to fit the all-channel combined banana data

v1.4.0

The average analyzing power is (rougly) scaled back to the level of 100 GeV value. The change is dictated by the scaling to H-jet results. Each polarimeter has its own scale factor

Added signature to saved plots
Another attempt to get rid of global variables is made by hiding them in the EventConfig class (aka RunConfig)
New class RunConfig for storing global run information
Many good histograms in MAsym...
Cleaner use of global variable ndelim

v1.3.13

Implemented constructors for some of the old structures. Made code much cleaner

v1.3.11

Removed the remnants using the text run database (run.db)
Created an SQL table with run periods for easier tracking of calibration runs and disabled channels/bunches. The corresponding class is MseRunPeriods
Fixed another bug related to histogram being offset by 1 bin in CnipolProfileHists::Fill
Redefined the criteria determining the measurement type. Now if the number of step at the same intensity is more than 33% then the measurement is fixed

v1.3.10

Implemented communication with MySQL database
Implemented measurement type. Simple criteria: if 10% of maximum intensity is collected within 1/3 of the total time then the type is sweep, fixed otherwise
Fixed a division by zero bug in CnipolProfileHists::Fill
The package now depends on some files containing useful utilities a in local directory ~dsmirnov/root_macros/utils. Not good... Has to be addressed somehow

v1.3.9

Restored Igor's changes lost in online/rhic2hbook/ rhic2hbook.f and ramp.kumac

v1.3.8

Modified building procedure for online/. It is now compiled with C++ and ROOT libraries. Some improvements in makefiles
Fixed permissions for root tree output files
Added more checks for verifying existing calibration files
Significantly updated the structure of the package, new classes, better management of global varables, simplified makefile

v1.3.7

Calculated the R parameter - the ratio of the intensity and polarization profiles
Added polarization vs intensity histogram/graph in the profiles container
Constrained the polarization value to be within 0 and 1 in the strip asymmetry fits. The negative polarization values should be taken care of by the phase parameter
Converged on run.db and made appropriate adjustments in AsymRunDb
- Separated run DB classes: new class DbEntry
Fixed permissions of the log file stdoe.log such that it is also group writable
Fixed a bug in fitting the binned beam polarization profile in standardized coordinates
The offline part of the package (in src/) now uses the same headers as the online part (online/include)
Added an option to copy the results to the server. See the --copy option
Changed rectangular cuts to a linearly dependent one for the noise in raw data
Updated DB file (run.db) so that runs taken with the downstream DAQ outside the tunnel use the appropriate energy calibration files

v1.3.6

Default output file permission is 0775. Users within the same group are allowed to overwrite files
Added profile histograms in unified distance units, i.e. the width of the intensity profile is 1
Fixed most of the warnings coming from HBOOK routines (const string to char* conversion)
By default redirected standard output and error streams to a log file (see -l, --log options)
The --profile mode now also assumes the --target mode as information from the latter is required

Adjusted timing in online configuration files to move the banana back to the window. Only Y1D is changed. The parameters are now closer to Y2U
Added Igor's fix in rhicpol to exit gracefully when the stop button in PolarControl is clicked

v1.3.5

Minor changes

v1.3.4

Minor changes

v1.3.1

A new correction factor of 0.823 is now introduced for p-C polarization in both online and offline frameworks

The plots are now being save automatically at the end of analysis
Adjusted cuts for BD and YD to cut away the noise in the bottom lower corner of the integration window
Only saved plots are displayed on the run summary webpage
In alpha mode fixed a bug
The output directory has write permission for group

v1.3.0

The standard Run9 analyzing power is used to calculate the final polarization at ${\sqrt {s}}$ = 500 GeV (i.e. the polarization calculated is NOT scaled by 15% with respect to Run9 values as in the previous release v1.2.0)

v1.2.0

The calculated polarization values are scaled down by 15% to address the difference seen between polarization values reported by the H-Jet and pCarbon polarimeters at ${\sqrt {s}}$ = 500 GeV in Run9

v0.0.0

This is a dummy version number for all releases prior to v1.2.0
