Welcome To Mark Palmer's Research Page

This page provides links to a range of hardware, software and analysis projects in which I am or have been involved. If you are not a member of the LNS community, a large number of the links may not be available to you. 
 

• Dipole BackLeg Windings
• Fast BPM System
• Calibration of the CLEO CC Endcap Luminosity Monitor
• CESR-CHESS Technical Issues Committee
• Bunch-by-bunch specific luminosity measurements using CLEO III data

My primary analysis interest is semileptonic decays of the B meson.  I have also helped out a bit with D-mixing efforts for semileptonic D decays. 

• The CLEO II.V  B->D*lnu Effort
• The CLEO  D-mixing Group Page 
• CLEO II.V  Low Momentum Skim 
• CLEO II.V  Full Roar Lepton Skim 
•  Lepton ID  work for Recompress and CLEO II.V data.

I was CLEO Run Manager for the 1997-1998 term. 

• The CLEO Run Management web page. 
• CLEO II.V Online Luminosity information. 
• Energy Scan information.

• CLEO II.V SVX page. 
• SVX Radiation Status.

• CLEO II.V  Dataset Features  Page.
• CLEO II.V  Offline Luminosity  Information (NOTE:  Run ranges for the 4sH and 4sJ datasets were redefined between taking the data and running PASS2 on the data.  So BE CAREFUL !!!).

• CLEO II.V Production MC readiness. 
• Merge Noise in CLEO II.V. 
• The  BINGO package - a new low momentum tracking package for CLEO II.V and CLEO III. This package is a descendant of the CLEO II.V silicon standalone tracker (SVTF) and the MARK III vector trackfinder. 
• The SVTAGR (SVTG) package - the SVX tagging package for CLEO II.V. 
• The SVTLIB (SVTF) package - the CLEO II.V standalone SVX tracker. 
• FR_SKIM (full roar skimmer) - Actually, it isn't just a full roar skimmer, it will skim anything in the context of a DRIVER job. The name simply evolved out of what Dave Lange and I needed it for. It has hooks to do a number of skims (eg, gamma gamma to 4pi, lepton, D reconstruction, continuum slow pi tagging, etc), and can be readily expanded to accomodate other skims. In addition to the code, we have a constantly evolving set of scripts which make it straightforward to run jobs in DLT queues.
• The  VETO  package - a package to filter problem trigger and HV events from CLEO II.V PASS2 processing.
• The  EMSKIM  package - a PASS1 package to create Recompress and CLEO II.V electron embeedding skims.  This includes separate skims of radiative bhabha events and hadronic events.

The  BNSK  package - a CLEVER processor which can be used to generate separate output FZX skims broken down by CESR bunch number (very useful for embedding work).

The Illinois, Santa Barbara, and Wayne State groups have joined in a collaborative effort for analyzing CLEO II.V data....
