ADC data

Given that the center of the paddle is x=0 and +x is to the left and -x is to the right we have the following quantities.

  • From TDC: with L the length of the paddle, t_{{o}} the time of flight of the particle, v_{{o}} the effective speed of light in the paddle t_{{L}} is the internal delay including all cables, PMT transit times ect. and same for t_{{R}}
    1. T_{{L}}=t_{{o}}+{\frac  {L-x}{v_{{o}}}}+t_{{L}}
    2. T_{{R}}=t_{{o}}+{\frac  {L+x}{v_{{o}}}}+t_{{R}}
    3. \Delta T=T_{{R}}-T_{{L}}
    4. \delta =t_{{R}}-t_{{L}}
    5. x={\frac  {1}{2}}(\Delta T-\delta )v_{{o}}
  • From ADC: with E_{{0}} the original energy deposition, d the attenuation length and \epsilon _{{L}} the light transmission through all couplings including the gain of the PMT and attenuation in the cables. L and R refer to left and right.
    1. E_{{L}}=\epsilon _{{L}}E_{{0}}e^{{{\frac  {-(L-x)}{d}}}}
    2. E_{{R}}=\epsilon _{{R}}E_{{0}}e^{{{\frac  {-(L+x)}{d}}}}
    3. x=ln({\frac  {E_{{L}}}{E_{{R}}}}{\frac  {\epsilon _{{R}}}{\epsilon _{{L}}}}){\frac  {d}{2}}
  • Note: The values T_{{R}},T_{{L}},E_{{R}},E_{{L}} are the measured quantities. And in the following the time measurements are corrected by the relative offsets derived from the calibration procedure. But they have not been corrected for walk.

Now we can plot the x information from the TDC against the x information from the ADC:

  • X-pos from TDC vs X-pos from ADC

fitting the slope will result in the attenuation length d and the horizontal shift is the ration of the two epsilons.

And also the Energy vs. the X-Pos of the ADC:

  • E0 vs X-pos from ADC

the position of the minimum ionizing peak can be determined by a projection to the vertical axis. The location of the peak varies from paddle to paddle.

  • E0
