3. Roma, 25 novembre 2002Manuela CirilliX5/3 Glossary * T drift = T max - T 0 * In the TDC spectra, T max and T 0 are in TDC counts * T drift is in ns * T drift is corrected for temperature effect according to H8 2001 results (-2.6 ns/T) * All T drift are @ 19°C * Source intensity is expressed with the absorption factor abs: * abs2 = 1/2 of the full source intensity * abs2 - abs5 corresponds to nominal Atlas flux (100 Hz/cm 2 ) * abs1 corresponds to Atlas X safety factor 5 * T drift = T max - T 0 * In the TDC spectra, T max and T 0 are in TDC counts * T drift is in ns * T drift is corrected for temperature effect according to H8 2001 results (-2.6 ns/T) * All T drift are @ 19°C * Source intensity is expressed with the absorption factor abs: * abs2 = 1/2 of the full source intensity * abs2 - abs5 corresponds to nominal Atlas flux (100 Hz/cm 2 ) * abs1 corresponds to Atlas X safety factor 5

4. Roma, 25 novembre 2002Manuela CirilliX5/4 Study of T max vs. Tube in the Bundle Initial strategy: Initial strategy: * Use only source off data taken in nominal conditions of gas pressure, HV, threshold * Combine source off runs only when there were no runs with the source on in between * Typical run: 500 M Evts * 5-6 tubes in a layer have reasonable statistics (>50K evts) @ high rate: * Lots of bkg on the TDC spectrum: clean it using BIS as an external tracker * At abs1, also distortion of the spectrum: unfolding Initial strategy: Initial strategy: * Use only source off data taken in nominal conditions of gas pressure, HV, threshold * Combine source off runs only when there were no runs with the source on in between * Typical run: 500 M Evts * 5-6 tubes in a layer have reasonable statistics (>50K evts) @ high rate: * Lots of bkg on the TDC spectrum: clean it using BIS as an external tracker * At abs1, also distortion of the spectrum: unfolding

Roma, 25 novembre 2002Manuela CirilliX5/5 New wrt Pavia * Different fitting procedure: * Fit the rising and falling edge separately (Fermi-Dirac + bkg) * All parameters of the Fermi-Dirac are left free in the fit * More on fitting in my next talk * Different fitting procedure: * Fit the rising and falling edge separately (Fermi-Dirac + bkg) * All parameters of the Fermi-Dirac are left free in the fit * More on fitting in my next talk T0 Tmax

10. Roma, 25 novembre 2002Manuela CirilliX5/10 Problems: distortion of the TDC spectra * Already evident without background without background * * If the chambers are really at 0°, then the bias is only in the central part of the TDC spectrum * No bias on T 0 and T max determination T max determination * Already evident without background without background * * If the chambers are really at 0°, then the bias is only in the central part of the TDC spectrum * No bias on T 0 and T max determination T max determination clean spectrum raw spectrum

Roma, 25 novembre 2002Manuela CirilliX5/13 Problem: loss of statistics * It is problematic for out-of-beam tubes (already low stat) * It could be overcome if we could combine different runs together… * It is problematic for out-of-beam tubes (already low stat) * It could be overcome if we could combine different runs together… Source off
