This study focuses on optimizing the position resolution of muon tracking in high-energy physics experiments through an analysis of resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and gain settings. It includes data from Run12 Muon Tracking Resolution scan executed in February 2012 with 200GeV Proton-Proton Argon-CO2-CF4 gas mixture. The analysis compares Run9 and Run12 data, showcasing discrepancies in gain settings and noise reduction strategies. The study proposes new high-voltage settings to achieve the desired resolution goals. Various landau fits and gap-by-gap analyses are presented for both North and South arms. Pedestal distributions, noise levels, and gain adjustments are discussed to improve tracking performance.

Resolution vs. S/N Relation Resolution N/S Goal : Getting Position Resolution of 100 ~ 150 mm! Reduce Noise (Pedestal RMS) Increase Signal -> Increase Gain (HV, Gas)
Run12 MuTR HV Scan Executed Feb. 14, 2012. 200GeV pp Ar : CO2 : CF4 = 52 : 29.4 : 18.6 (analysis result from Atlantic Analysis Lab. March,7,2012) ADTX : LV on (-20 ADC channel in MIP)
HV Scan Conditions • Run9 vs. Run12 • North should be +20% increase in ADC channel • South should be similar gain.
