Back to Background Rate Studies


Detector Configuration

  • Double-Hit Resolution: 75 ns
  • Threshold: 2 MeV (30 MeV in repository)
  • Maximum Number of Hits: 500 (100 in repository)


Items for Discussion

  • Change threshold and maximum number of hits in repository.
  • GlueX note under development to describe mechanism for background suppression in the FCAL. Timing information from the FADC will be key in removing background hits.
  • At what dose does radiation damage begin to become an issue?
