1. Rome scanning report After training ( Brick # 1056091, ev. # 222248015 from Salerno: relocated ), 4 bricks assigned - 3 in this report [1 more assigned >3 weeks ago, developed 2 weeks ago, then on plastic support, finally delivered lastr friday…]  Brick 22943 – Ev. 2375449087 - 2 tracks from CS (seem to cross rather downstream!): # 26 slopes -0.001, 0.039 (  )  NOT relocated in automatic search # 1 “ 0.186, 0.155  relocated in pl. 57 - scan-back: track #1 lost since pl. 56 - volume scan: track confirmed in pl. 57, then stop and no vertex - manual check:  found as a nice micro-track only!  good vertex (i.p. ~5  m @ 600  m below glass!) with the track #1 tr. # px py sx sy Npt 1 64376.3 59164.6 0.1820 0.1355 28 (autom.) 26 64225.4 59060.3 impact in base/glass side (manual) 1 64339.9 59137.2 “ “ “ “ - Clean “QE” topology in the apparatus - Companion track with consistently high granularity in both CSd (Npt 29/30) and pl 57 (Npt 28) Our 1st event, will be published soon… (A. Ruggieri taking care)  Brick 119500 – Ev. 236860369 [close-to-edge scanning, high fog...] -  not found in CSd (-0.090, 0.248), just one track available (0.105, 0.029) > relocated in pl. 56, scanned-back to pl. 50 (not very effective: 4/7 found) > volume-scan performed pl. 55 -> 45 Results (see next slide): - bad alignment of plate 53; - good volume track in plates 57-52, then the scan-back track seem to split into another closeby path - the new path: 52-48 with only one pl. missing (49), then stop - no vertex @ stop point, no  around...... Likely to besearched for in the next brick on the side! (Cross-check in progress in Salerno) Ankara / OPERA Meeting – Rome report – Apr 2nd, 2009

4. Rome scanning report Ankara / OPERA Meeting – Rome report – Apr 2nd, 2009 Summary  Out of the 3 events digested, 2 vertices located ( μ attached)  Both very downstrean (lead between pl. 56 and 57)…  The 3rd event is likely to demand the extraction of the neighbour brick  About to start the one just arrived: but we wish “continuous feeding” of the scanning job  could afford to scan 2-3 bricks /week right now (1 microscope, 2 INFN technicians, looking for students; plate exchanger not installed, not yet “essential”) Hope to get more fun in the near future, with a bit more upstream vertices… …. Like the one borrowed from Salerno for training (thanks a lot to Cristiano and Regina for their support in the learning phase!) Brick # 1056091 – Ev. # 222248015 – located in Salerno, re-located in Rome
