1. True singles study Qinzeng Peng Boston University 2008 May 21

2. inner outer 3mm 15cm Expected true single hits • Outer tile is smaller than inner tile • Coincidence area ≈ outer area • Expected outer singles ≈ 0 • Expected inner singles (see table below)

3. Experimental results from single hits • David’s elog 194 shows true outer single hit rate is unexpectedly big • singles come from muon decay.

4. Plots from David’s elog 194

5. Ratio of true single hits vs. pair number

6. comparison

9. General coincidences • Form coincidences within tile pairs and betweenneighbors. • Alignment of all channels by T0 offset • Sort all pulses by time • Eliminate later of coincidence pair (coin window=4 CLKs) • Group pulses inside dT Window=8 clock ticks

33. Justin’s 3D plot view

34. summary • Some detectors not calibrated perfectly. • Not-symmetric of foreign coincidence for the outer singles.

40. neighbors for single inners- pent sn 60

41. Non-symmetric of neighbors for single inners - hex sn 200

42. DW’s elog 194

43. Coin with the ball • Each tile has 3 nearest neighbors: right, left, bottom (exclude 10 hex pairs around the entrance and exit pentagons) and they have the biggest numbers of coincidence. • Each tile has coincidence peaks with about 1/3 of tiles around the ball. (50 of 170)

44. Original dt_coin_neighbors

45. Dt_coin_neighbors after dt offset shift

46. How good is the dt offset shift ? • About 14 of 170 inners have dt_off_3neighbors > 4 CLKs after dt offset shift, but they are still smaller than 7.5 CLKs, so choose dtWindow = 8 CLKs is wise. • Bad channels are: 18 – 20 34 – 36 92 – 100 – 324 96 – 98 -- 100 268 – 322 280 – 334 324 -- 326

48. neighborAll.cppneighborAll.txt • for each group there are n+1 lines • first line: sn • next n lines: neighbors of sn ordered by distance • columns: sn, isRight, isLeft, isBottom, distance, theta(cos)

49. Time alignment for all channels • Shift outer tile of each pair (easy) • 170 inner tiles can be aligned up by single coincident hits with the neighbors • NO WFD reset during runs. • Runs selected: 57325-57425, end of run. And they have the same settings.
