Agenda

Proposed Key Performance Parameters from November 21, 2014

This section was updated after the meeting on Nov 30

Hall D: “Detector operational: events recorded with a > 2 nA electron beam at > 10 GeV beam energy (5.5 pass)”

Done: all data taking happened with >40 nA 10 GeV electron beam

Expected photon beam rate: Tagger: ~ 620Hz/MeV at the endpoint, at 50nA, 0.2e-4 RL. About 20% should pass through the 5mm collimator hole. Very preliminary PS measurements are about 50% off.

  1. Detector running for ~one shift recording data from all subsystems.
    • ~8h data taking on Nov 23 20:00 - Nov 24 8:00 at 50 nA, 0.2e-4 RL, FCAL trigger, solenoid at 1200A
    • ~8h data taking on Nov 25 22:00 - Nov 24 6:00 at 100 nA, 1e-4 RL, BCAL trigger, solenoid at 1200A
    • Done
  2. Snapshots of beam status screens and accelerator Elog entries demonstrating the electron beam current and energy.
    • Log Entry 3309203 Snapshot with 100nA, 3e-4 RL For an unknown yet reason at high beam rates some EPICS variables were stale on this window. At 50 nA these variables were updated normally.
    • Log Entry 3307724 Snapshot with 45nA. 0.2e-4 RL
    • Done The beam energy can be derived from the tagger magnet field (1.5T for 12 GeV): 1.26T/1.50T*12GeV=10.08GeV
  3. Plots showing relative timing (coincidence) of the signals in TAGx, TOF, BCAL, FCAL, ST, PS (with TAGx).
    • Log Entry 3309600 TDC timing of FDC, BCAL, ST, TOF, TAGH, TAGM and the FADC timing of TAGH, TAGM for the FCAL-triggered data at low luminosity and the BCAL-triggered data at high (x30) luminosity. The TAGH/M FADC signals are in the readout window, while the TDC signals are not (further trigger/latency tuning required)
    • Log Entry 3308810 Similar to Log 3309600 for the FCAL trigger, in log scale
    • Log Entry 3308027 TAGH/M timing with the PS trigger
    • Done - TAGx TDC signals are out of the readout window yet
  4. Event displays showing correlations of particle hits in the CDC, FDC, ST, TOF, BCAL, FCAL.
  5. Plots of reconstructed particle trajectories showing target position.
    • Log Entry 3309411 z-vertex distributions (the pre-beam chamber alignment was used)
    • Log Entry 3309273 Geometrical matching of tracks to TOF
    • Log Entry 3309018 Geometrical matching of tracks to FCAL
    • Done - X-Y vertex plot from the same data should be also presented
  6. Particle identification plots using signals from calorimetry and timing detectors (e.g. FCAL, BCAL, TOF).
    • GlueX-Doc-2609 Local copy. Proton/pion identification by dE/dx in CDC and FDC.
    • GlueX-Doc-2610 Local copy pi0 reconstruction in FCAL. The initial calibration was off by a factor of 2, indicated both by the pi0 bump and by the E/p ratio for electrons/positrons
    • GlueX-Doc-2611 Local copy More details on pi0 reconstruction in FCAL.
    • Local copy. pi0 reconstruction in FCAL - another analysis. The MIP signal in FCAL is more pronounced. The energy scale is different from the first analysis (different calibration?).
    • Done? There are 2 PID signals: proton/pion and pi0 reconstruction. Detector calibration is needed to improve these signals.

Path forward and goals for running in December 2014

  1. Trigger/DAQ time adjustment to readout the tagger TDCs
  2. Reduce the background in the PS (secondary collimator installation?)
  3. TAGH/M time calibration with the PS trigger (4h data taking), PS calibration, measuring the beam flux
  4. Trigger setting for BCAL+FCAL, FCAL*ST and other combinations, mix the PS trigger with the others (2 shifts)
  5. DAQ: improve the speed to at least 1kHz with <20% of dead time (full readout of compressed readout)
  6. Data taking for FCAL calibration with pi0s (at least 4 shifts)
