Description
The Solenoid Tracker At RHIC (STAR) experiment has observed luminosity fluctuations
on time scales much shorter than expected during its design and construction. These
operating conditions lead to rapid variations in distortions of data from the STAR
TPC which are dependent upon the luminosity and planned techniques for calibrating
these distortions became insufficient to provide high quality physics data. We
present a novel method we developed to perform such calibrations event-by-event which
adapts to the varying conditions on-the-fly, making the need for a pre-calibartion
pass unnecessary. We discuss its strengths, weaknesses and alternatives.
