MACRO colleagues,
We have completed the processing of the 14 months of MACRO's data taking
corresponding to the July 1995 - Sept 1996 period that was missing from
our waveform monopole data set.
This *completes* our monopole set for what concerns baseline analyses for
slow and fast monopoles using the WFDs.
As outlined at the time of our last collaboration meeting a month ago,
the job involved several disk and cpu resources at Gran Sasso that allowed
us to process 20GB of MACRO data every day producing all possible
reduced datastreams: monopole, GC, LIP, muon neutrino wf and all acceptance
and detector performance studies.
In three weeks time we went through 1 *Terabyte* of data that were swapped
between tapes and disks and run over a network of 3 alpha cpus for a total
of 360 CPU *hours* equivalent of the fastest alpha cpu at Gran Sasso.
For whoever is interested in my approach of monopole analysis, the 4.5 year
worth of slow monopole final data set is a few hours of ftp away and a couple
of hours of cpu time to analyze the WFDs: MACRO online serves them and they
will permanently reside at GRan Sasso. I expect Chris Orth to go through
the resultant RARE DSTs within the next few weeks in order to produce
the mini-DSTs of his for whoever more is interested.
We plan to continue marching through the rest of MACRO data. This is in
order to produce the entire tree of diagnostics and dsts uniformly
(I have been upgrading code and streams over the last 4 years). This
will bring at the same time: uniform calibrations for muon neutrino
measurement and LIP search throughout our 5 year run.
