Summary of CSC Validation at FNAL Production SiteA
Validation tests of CSC production siteA at FNAL include HV scan, gas gain uniformity, dead channels check, wire groups efficiency, noise rate, and gas gain non-uniformity measurements with Cs137 source and Cosmic Rays. Results show good parameters with minimal surprises, uniform gas gain, and low noise rates.

CSC VALIDATION Tests • 1. HV scan of all 6 planes with/without Cs137 (dark&source currents) (checked at MP9) • 2. Gas gain uniformity with Cs137 source (HV=3700V) • 3. ZERO DEAD channels (checked at MP9) • 4. Anode wire groups (64group/plane) efficiency • 5. Single wire (group) noise rate (TDC) • 6. Gas gain non-uniformity with Cosmic Rays measurements (CFEB) Nikolai’s Anode Analysis Webpage http://www-hep.phys.cmu.edu/cms/valid/test.html
2. Gas gain uniformity measurementswith Cs137 source (HV=3700V). Chamber Configuration to Measure Gas Gain Uniformity With Cs137 (ICs from cathodes) Strip’s#10 Strip’s#1 Wire’s#1 Wire’s#8 480 points/CSC 80 points/layer
4. Anode wire groups (64group/layer) efficiency measurements
Summaryfor 9 CSC validated at LAB7 • Overall parameters of 9 CSC “good” • no big surprises. • Gas Gain Uniformity (with Cs137) for 9 CSC • 6 CSC Gmax/Gmin < 3 • 3 CSC Gmax/Gmin < 3 • Layer#1 mainly contributed into several small “hot gain spots” • Anode noise rate for all 9 CSC less than 25 Hz.
