  5. First Beam Event 2008/09/10 10:19 2x109 protons at 450GeV hit closed tertiary collimators. CHIPP Plenary - 2009/08/24

  6. Commissioning with Cosmics • Commission detector, hardware and software event selection. • Calibration and alignment studies. • 1-700Hz of cosmic muons selected • ~ 5M cosmics selected with software track trigger. CHIPP Plenary - 2009/08/24

  7. Software Trigger Pixel alignment with cosmic data • Responsible for PCs running online software based trigger. (Bern) • Training collaborators to monitor online selection algorithms. (Bern) • Debugging online software selection algorithms. (Geneva) • Developing new software algorithms for online data selection. (Geneva) MC (perfect detector) residuals after alignment residuals before alignment Residuals: distance between fitted track and hits in the individual layers CHIPP Plenary - 2009/08/24
