1. Calibration Munich group version Checks

2. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 2 Idea Calibration runs: same number of photons in all PMs Flat fielding: same pixels output from calibration runs Calibration methods: Ffactor method (relative calibration) Blind-pixel method (absolute calibration) We did consistency checks

3. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 3 Jan – Feb 2004 Which method for calibration? 1. Blind pixel had (hardware?) problems: -many bad runs no calibration constants 2. Ffactor method: - reasonable results pedphotcalc.C - simple to check new independent class to compare the resulting conversion factors

4. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 4 How we calibrate... How we calibrate... Same scheme as calibcalcphotons.C 1. Extraction of Pedestals from pedestal runs in FADCcounts using MPedCalcPedRun

5. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 5 How we calibrate... 2. Calculation of calibration factors using signal estracted from calibration runs by MCalibrationChargeCalc etc. ~23 photoelectrons for inner pixel area

6. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 6 How we calibrate... 3. NEW: Flat fielding of the number of photons in the calibration-run. ~135 photons for inner pixel area

7. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 7 How we calibrate... NEW calibration factors: multiply the previously calculated with the correction factor for flat fielding. ~ 0.8 photons/ FADC count ~ 3.5 photons/ FADC count

8. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 8 How we calibrate... 4.Calibration of data and pedestals using MCalibrate Data

10. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 10 How we checked it: Q in Mean charge for the inner pixels excluding cosmics and bad pixels ~160 FADC counts channel

11. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 11 How we checked it: c i Correction factor to flat field the charges ~160 FADC counts channel

12. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 12 How we checked it:  Qm distribution obtained summing all the charge distributions of the pixels after flat fielding  Qm ~43 counts

13. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 13 Mean number of photoelectrons N phel = (Q in 2 /  2 red ) F 2 where F 2 = 1.335 (as in MCalibrationChargeCalc) Conversion factors: (Ph/FADCcount) i = N phel c i / Q in /phxpe where phxpe = 0.18 (as in MCalibrationChargeCalc)

14. SWM UD, April 2004Nadia Tonello, MPI 14 Result: Calibration factors in agreement ~ 0.8 photons/ FADC count ~ 3.5 photons/ FADC count
