Proposal for Hadron Test Beam Collaborations at FNAL: Key Considerations and Requirements

This document outlines vital discussion points regarding the utilization of the FNAL Meson Test Beam Facility (MTBF) for hadron beam experiments. We aim to draft a proposal/MoU for beam time, emphasizing the need to clarify our objectives, the range of energies, particle types, and sample sizes required for anticipated events. Additionally, we stress the importance of Monte Carlo studies and the integration of analysis data formats. Collaboration with UK institutions is necessary, and we seek guidance on the timeline for participation and required software development for successful data analysis.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Discussion topics (not exhaustive!) Hadron test beam • FNAL Meson Test Beam Facility (MTBF) most likely • Thought to be only viable hadron beam line in 2005 • Any experience within UK of using this beam area? • Need to write “proposal/MoU” for beam time • Not too detailed but need to make a case • Will clarify our own aims! • What we are trying to achieve and some justification for scope • What range of energies, incident angles, particle types, beam positions, etc? (Have been assuming ~102) • What numbers of events at each of these? (Have been assuming ~106) • Needs some MC studies • Clearly UK should contribute; when would we be in a position to do this? • What sort of sample sizes would be needed? Can we produce them? Paul Dauncey

  2. Discussion topics (cont) Preparations for analysis • Raw data converted to analysis data (pedestal subtraction, threshold, calibration gain corrections) • How are these constants determined? • Do we need to do MC studies? • Need MC and data in the same analysis (and raw?) format • What format; LCIO? ROOT? • Who will write required software? • Need MC production for large samples • Also needed for FNAL proposal? • Where will these be produced? • Where will we store data and MC • DESY offered originally; also want data at RAL? • Data ~few 100 Gbytes analysis, ~few TBytes raw; MC ~same?
