Muon Tracking Resolution Optimization Study for High Energy Physics Experiment
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.

ADC Distribution Landau Distribution Most Probable Value (MPV) Of Minimum Ionization Particle (MIP)
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.
North Gain Comparison DADC=p0+p1*DV+p2**DV No advantage seen for +2% increase of Ar gas MPV [ADC channel]
South Gain Comparison -20ch for Run12 Due to ADTX on Overall, MuTR Gain seems lower than that of Run11
