  • Proposal (1/13/2022) by Elton for the order of MWPCs in the muon stack:
  • We would like to situate the best chambers downstream. Looking at the efficiency curves in Figs 11 and 12 of GlueX-doc-5373 I made a table of two parameters: the inefficiency at th=0, and the threshold where the efficiency starts climbing. The best chambers have lower inefficiency and higher inflection threshold. Based on this criteria, I suggest the following ordering:


MWPC inefficiency (x10^-3) Inflection threshold (x10^6 integrated counts)

Arwen 3 6 Bilbo 1.8 9 Celeborn 1.5 6 Haldor 1.2 8 Denethor 1.2 9 Eowyn 1.3 10


  • I have left all chambers in alphabetical order, except for Haldor that is slightly worse than Denethor an Eowyn. Note that Haldor is almost as good as Denethor, so keeping complete alphabetical order is almost as good as the list above.
