  10. MCH Shuttle Shuttle transfers data taking condition parameters • gain per readout channel (calculated by the DA) • pedestal and noise par readout channel (calculated by the DA) • all high voltage channels (stored in the DCS database) to the Offline Condition DataBase (0CDB)  mandatory for the offline analysis. MCH : • pedestals, noises and gains = OK • (DA updated recently to better handle parity errors) • high voltages should be soon ok • old problem now clearly identified and being solved • GMS not tested/implemented !!

  12. MCH alignment : Photogrammetry and Survey • Survey and Photogrammetry provides Day 0 misalignment file • Survey chamber with respect to ALICE • Photogrammetry slat or quadrant with respect to chamber • Available for this run: • chambers 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 Ch1 Ch5 Javier Castillo

  13. MCH alignment with tracks • Global method: • Simultaneous fit to misalignment and track parameters • Millepede • Input misalignments: • Uniform • |X,Y|<300 m • ||< 500rad • Alignment precision: • RMSX = 20 m • RMSY = 10 m • RMS = 20rad 100k - 150k is a reasonable number Javier Castillo

  15. MCH data monitoring : MOOD MOOD (Monitoring Of Online Data): • Tools for experts. • Reads and Decodes raw data from either online stream or file. • Visualisation of general information : pedestal, noise, gain, hitmap, errors, etc. • Used for commissioning (noise display) and during cosmic runs (first cluster)

  16. MCH data monitoring : AMORE AMORE (Automatic MOnitoRing Environment): • Tools for shifters. • Reads and Decodes raw data from online stream. • Checks and reports the quality of data (at the raw data level only) • Interfaced with the Quality Assurance framework of AliRoot. • Tells to the shifter if we are taking crap or not and give a first diagnostic to the expert. • Under development.

  18. MCH Safety : Interlocks In terms of detector safety, you always want the belt and the straps • power dissipated by the FEE required air cooling • if air cooling stops  shutdown the low voltages • high voltages on the wire required clean Ar/CO2 mixture • if input gas stops  lower the high voltages “Hardwired” interlock for air cooling • St1&2 cabled, tested and operating • St3 cabled • St4&5 to be done (not critical) [for the gas system, hardwired interlock could be cabled but it clearly appears unnecessary] “Software” interlocks (to be implement in DCS : work started) • if temperatures sensors reach a too high value  stop the LVPS • if gas input or output flow is null  set the HV to BEAM_TUNING Ultimately, shifters (in ACR) should not be necessary for MCH safety  Presence on site of an-call expert

  25. MCH chamber efficiency for p+p 2008 run (ped. run 58492 12/09/08) station 1 station 2 station 3 station 4 station 5

  26. Propositions….and my personal answers • Station 1 : 3 patch buses to fix • qualitatively we can say that manas die continuously (see last slide) • Station 2 : changing DE 303 (bottom quadrant on chamber 3 left) ? • no : to risky for chamber 2 and 4. High probability to cause more damages than solving problems • Chamber 4 at 99%, and then chamber 3 < 75% • Station 3 • one FRT to change (not sure but best guess) • and try to improve the arrangement of the patch cables so nobody will ruin them (in my opinion, someone stomp –not step- on them) • a dedicated team working on the noise of ch5 • no lead so far (aluminum sheets help but not help the Xo) • should not jump from commissioning to noise testing for 2 hours and then back to commissioning, etc…. • Ch6 should be open and should not be connected before the noise is understood

  27. Propositions….and my personal answers • Station 4 : • Chamber 7 right should be the priority • after full chamber 7 is readout correctly and only after that, one should think about working on chamber 8 • Station 5 • we had the 4 crocus of station 5 in the readout (next slide) • missing DE • when can they be repaired (if this is possible) • is it worth to open the chambers to put them back • some patch buses exhibit large fluctuations  full bus patch over the threshold  slows down the readout • simplest is to remove them from configuration • check voltages on the power lines ?

  28. General issues • During the run (no work around the detector), we lost contact with : • 10 patch buses on ch5  most probably the FRT • Crocus chamber 9 right (sylvain couldn’t fix) • Crocus chamber 3 left 2565 ?  works fine now : “downward spiral” effect... + Crocus chamber 10 right became unstable (readout is fine and then not) after some time… Demonstrates the importance to perform long readout test before the cavern close. This needs to be understood as soon as possible : changing the board is not sufficient ! • CRT/FRT must be returned to Orsay with proper form and proper packaging (anti-static) • The database on the Twiki must be updated • Commissioning logbook must be updated with relevant information It might appear a bit tedious but it is the only way to pinpoint and understand if problems are related to DSP/EPROM

  29. General issues • MANAS are still dying with time (not investigated more). All station should provide some input to ?? • I suggest to have somebody working on that  best/easiest way : compare pedestal runs vs time (global tool)  someone from India ? • Power supplies : clearly the modified LVPS do not have a dramatic effect on the noise. • Still some fluctuations ; all noises of St3,4,5 increased during week 37 • Modifying the others LVPS (St1 and 2) would be a mistake : no clear gain or better understanding of the noise with the modified LVPS • HV on quadrants/slats : a few can not hold the nominal voltages. But the current configuration is stable (see MCH twiki for details) • can be easily tested in from the ACR (by slowly rising up the voltage and checking the stability)

  30. General issues • Something must be done to avoid the screwdriver incident ! Access in the FASS, operation around/in the dipole or near station 4/5 should be supervised.  We need to settle down a procedure with the Alice operation group to get, at least, informed.

  31. Spares slides • First Physics • more on trigger chambers • Javier’s slides on alignment • Jean-Luc slides on calibration : pedestal, noise, gain, fit quality Thanks to Indranil,Javier,Jean-Luc, Guillaume,Laurent for preparing some slides for me

  32. MUON Spectrometer performances: J/ • 10k J/ in acceptance • Full simulation • “Hit errors” increased by 1mm to keep constant efficiency • Resolution ~ 100 m seems satisfactory • Resolution ~ 50 m perfect Javier Castillo 32

  37. MUONTRK_DA : gain parameter a1 Green color indicates Gain mean values around 4 mV/fC

  38. MUONTRK_DA : linear quality fit [range: from 1 (bad) to 15 (good)] For un-calibrated channels (no a1 extracted) : quality fit codes are forced to 0 and a1 to 0.5
