M. Ellis - MICE Collaboration Meeting - Thursday 28th October Sci-Fi Tracker Performance Software Status –RF background simulation –Beam simulation –Reconstruction –Data sample Performance Emittance calculation Performance Summary Tracker document

2 RF Background Simulation As described by Rikard at VC of 22/9/04 Software used from tag mice Background generated in 100 jobs of 100 events each on CSF farm at RAL. Total time to produce 10k events on CSF was over 4 days! Output files merged into one file that is then used as input for each of the 10k event samples.

3 TURTLE Beam Added as G4MICE option In CVS as tag mice ,000 events produced using the “June04” configuration were provided by Kevin Tilley Sample broken up into 72 sets of 10,000 events each for submission as jobs on CSF farm at RAL

4 Reconstruction TDC aspect of Digitisation is now more realistic (exact details of discriminators still to be perfected). Duplets (space point made from 2 views in a station) are now reconstructed and used in the pattern recognition. Individual clusters are used as separate measurements in the Kalman track fit. Still need to add the use of a field map (particularly with the more detailed simulation now in use) – currently assuming a fixed field!

5 Data Sample Four sets of events processed: –Various sets of 20k events to study effects of multiple scattering, non-uniform field, etc... –720k events with all physics processes, but no RF background –720k events with all physics processes and overlaid RF background events –7k events with 100x nominal RF background All performance plots are from the sample with nominal RF A summary table at the end will show differences between performance with and without RF background

6 Performance Position resolution –X, Y Momentum pulls –P X, P Y and P Z Momentum resolution –P T, P Z –  P T versus P T,  P T vs P Z –  P Z versus P T,  P Z vs P Z “Primes” resolution –X’, Y’, T’ Efficiency and Purity

17 Emittance Calculation Analysis code developed by Chris: –Trace and phase space –Monte Carlo truth, reconstructed parameters, virtual planes, ICOOL output files... –Can calculate 2D, 4D, 6D emittance, apply cuts, re- weighting, etc... –Performance checked against ecalc9f For each 10,000 event run, calculate one value of emittance from Monte Carlo truth information and one from reconstructed track information. Determine resolution and bias in 4D (XY) emittance (TOF unavailable, hence no 6D emittance).

26 Safety and Integration Description of the interface with the cooling section YES – see TRD: –Tracker is totally passive –Only active components are Hall probes –Vacuum is only safety issue: optical feed- through and patch panel must be rated for pressure –Readout system only requires standard line voltage –The cryogenic system presents no cryogen or oxygen deficiency hazard

27 Cost Breakdown YES - see MICE note –Cost and schedule recorded in detail in the MICE WBS:

28 Schedule and Milestones YES - see MICE note –Cost and schedule recorded in detail in the MICE WBS:

29 Operation Manpower needs for operation: YES - see MICE note –Tracker group consists of 25 people from Japan, UK, Europe and USA –Through successful prototyping exercises we will develop the expertise
