Spin Bits
In FY02 run, we had 4 spin bits
bit0 1 yellow up
bit1 2 yellow down
bit2 4 blue up
bit3 8 blue down
spinbit=0 unpol-unpol or unfilled-unfilled
spinbit=5 Y-up B-up
spinbit=6 Y-down B-up
spinbit=9 Y-up B-down
spinbit=10 Y-down B-down
spinbit=1,2 blue abort gaps
spinbit=4,8 yellow abort gaps
which gave number from 0 to 15. And we could not tell both-un-filled
bunches(odd number bunches) to unpol-unpol bunches.
In FY03 run, we got 8 bits (y/b * filled/up/down/unpol) which gives
number from 0 to 255. If you access from StTriggerDetector::spinBits(),
you get full information:
bit0 1 yellow filled
bit1 2 yellow up
bit2 4 yellow down
bit3 8 yellow unpol
bit4 16 blue filled
bit5 32 blue up
bit6 64 blue down
bit7 128 blue unpol
spinbit=0 unfilled-unfilled
spinbit=153 unpol-unpol
spinbit=51 Y-up B-up
spinbit=53 Y-down B-up
spinbit=83 Y-up B-down
spinbit=85 Y-down B-down
spinbit=3,5 blue abort gaps
spinbit=48,80 yellow abort gaps
Of course, there are functions which gives each bit with easy to
remember names, like StTriggerDetector::spinBitBlueDown(), for
your convenience.
For consistency reason, spin bits from StL0Trigger are still
4 bit converted from 8bit(0-255) and you should expect the
same old spinbits there. In summary:
FY02 StL0Trigger 4bit
FY03 StL0Trigger 4bit
FY02 StTriggerData not available till re-production of FY02 data
FY03 StTriggerData 8bit
Summary of polarization pattern for 2003 is here
