Summary
• The simulation of photo-electron distribution is
well agree with data with gate timing cut and
tracking.
• PID work well to distinguish particle spieces
– Proton data shows reasonably higher light yields in
fiber
• Both pion and proton data indicate photon loss
on Station D.
• Investigating hardware carefully.
