3. 3 Integrator boards Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011 NB requires slight modification of CW bases: install 100 nF in series with 25 Ω. This does not affect the signal. Recently, the integrators were upgraded: the 40 mezzanines were replaced with new ones. The work on production and installation of new integrator boards, including modification of host CW bases, was performed in December 2010 – January 2011 (Irina, Pavel, Anatoly Zh.). The nominal sensitivity is 275 mV/μA (110 counts/μA). Measured at the lab before installation in 20 out of 40 boards (Pavel): ±2% deviation. When installed onto CWs, its sensitivity becomes 100 counts/μA because of the 100kΩ “safety” resistor at the CW base. The anode current in ECAL is measured in 40 PMTs out of 6016, through “integrators”, 1-channel mezzanine boards installed at the back of each of these 40 PMT/CWs (original design by Yu. Gilitsky). Each integrator contains an amplifier for measuring current and pass-through for fast signal and LV/MV. The readout is performed via SPECS DCU of regular CALO DAC/HV motherboards. Part of ECAL HV projects. New version (install a 100 nF blocking capacitor in the fast signal line): uses ~90% of the anode current, instead of ~1% sensitivity ~ 100 DCU counts/μA DC gain ~2.2 instead of 3000  no stability problems with TL072 (rad hard) Yu. Guz I, nA

4. 4 Detector status  Good starting point! Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011  SPD: Keep the 0.5 MIP recipe as the default for 2011 Same threshold conditions as last year for most of thecells, only significant changes in few outliers (0.7 MIPs in 6 cells) Can easily move to any other value if required by L0 e/  studies.  PS: 1 MIP = 10 ADC count instead of 15 ADC count Values of HV have been tuned in order to equalize all channels To be checked with first data 7

5. 5 ECAL/HCAL PM dark current  All HCAL channels are equipped with « integrator » boards: Dark current measures can be done for HCAL To be followed (ok if < 1µA) Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011 2011-02-06 06-Feb  12-Mar obviously increasing 2011-03-12

6. 6 Online monitoring  Few improvements have been (or are being) implemented: Automated analyses: Pedestal following, LED signal & gain monitoring Reference samples out data are used to tune the thresholds that trigger alarms in the automated analysis. They’re also used to create new alarms based on collision data. Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011 Monitoring of the  0 mass being also added to the automated analysis: mass histo available every ten minutes Fit a gaussian + a polynomial (order 3) Fill Trending histograms Only looked at resolved  0 so far. 60min, run 80032  ~1.27, TCK 0x101710 S/B=0.19 =139.4  0.3  =10.4  0.4 New plots in the DM page & new alarms on his screen Occupancy measurements: they can be used to spot dead/hot channels, frozen FEB, etc… Data will be used to determine the thresholds that will trigger “WARNING/ALARM/FATAL” messages on the shifters screen.

7. 7 New LED flashing mode  Addition of an extra 11 kHz of periodic triggers for ECAL & HCAL LED flashing This would reduce appreciably the gain variation of the PMT as function of luminosity Commissioned thanks to Richard Data were taken with additional LED flashing of 11, 5.5 and 0 kHz: Rate effect up to +18% occurs. The rate effect at 5.5 kHz is already close to “saturation”. No special stability problems found in the 3.5 hour long run with 11 kHz flashing. New LED reference samples for calibration have been built Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011 Rate effect HCAL

8. 8 Calibration  Different method are used consecutively in order to reach the best performances for ECAL: Step 1: LED data to have a first calibration and to follow PMT gain changes Step 2: smoothing of the energy flow: cell inter-calibration Effect of trigger negligible : < 0.5% absolute effect on inter calibration Effect of pile-up negligible : < 0.5% absolute effect on inter calibration Step 3: Fine calibration with  0 Dead cells and border cells are removed Large amount of data needed: production of fmDST To be independent of the Stripping rates and to have an access to all the data collected during 2010: a dedicated production task has to be created. We're ready for production → production team Step 4: smoothing of the energy flow to allow to recover border cells and surroundings of dead cells We should reach an ECAL calibration at ~1.5% Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011

9. 9 Pile-up subtraction Observation on 2010 data : e/p and m(  0 ) significantly increases with nPV pile-up effect measured as +(0.68±0.07) MeV/c 2 per PV above 1 on m(  0 ) was decided to subtract per bin on SpdMult (to be independent of trigger GEC) not trivial to define the pile-up energy : several unsuccessful attempts … Olivier found a working method: for cluster at (x,y) look at 3x3 energy at the mirror position (-x,-y) if E mirror < E cluster /2 it is a valid ‘pile-up’ energy for that cluster Average E mirror per bin of SpdMult → /bin = (bin i+1) - (bin i) More at: http://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?contribId=27&sessionId=3&resId=0&materialId=slides&confId=130600 Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont converted to (floating ADC) up to ~4-5 ADC per 50 Spd in the inner-bending plane

11. 11 Reconstruction tuning for MC10  Purpose : extract reconstruction parameters from MC10 data in the same way it has been done for data : few months needed for data, hopefully a couple of weeks for MC  Tuning not yet completed just preliminary/intermediate results shown today S-corrections and alignment : initial MC parameters obtained from DC04/DC06 sample using MC-truth info Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011 b parameter OUTERMIDDLEINNER old MC 0.1020.1290.144 MC100.1330.1580.169 Data 20100.1420.1680.178 S-shape main parameter : MC10 Inner Ecal Cluster Y Track Y Fit : y c = b asinh[y b /0.5 cosh(0.5/b)]+Δy Data parameters was 20-30% higher than (old) MC now: 5-7% larger than MC10

12. 12 SPD Alignment  The SPD alignment wrt trackers has been measured for 2010 data X coordinate: seem to be rotated around Z-axis ( / \ shape ) Rotation C-side: (0,0,-0.028º) Rotation A-side: (0,0,0.041º) Global vertical displacement equivalent for all SM (~-7mm) To be checked Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011  Try to implement corrections in the condDB Rotation not foreseen …  And to re-align detectors during a long shut-down … X coordinate

13. 13 SPD vs M1 multiplicity  From Giovanni Passaleva, 17 January 2011: M1 hits ~ 1/2 SPD hits Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011  Miriam had a look: M1 hits ~ 1.1 SPD hits (October 2010 data (BHadron stream)) Same relation in MC than in data: MC10 (bb-bar evts) To be checked!

14. 14 First look at 2011 data  SPD: Occupancy with first 2011 data looks more homogeneous  PS: The MIP is consistently around 11-12 ADC counts for all boards. Reminder: 10 ADC counts is the value of the most probable value of the Landau function. The new calibration set in the electronics seems basically correct at that stage. Fine analysis with tracks is required for a more detailed analysis / per channel. Timing: Relative alignment of VFE within σ =0.5 ns ! alignment better than ±2 ns. Some ~ 1 ns crate effects? Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011

15. 15 First look at 2011 data  ECAL Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011

16. 16 Summary  Calorimeter detectors are in a good shape Few access needed during the next technical stop: Annual control of the HCAL Cs source Repair of HCAL turbine C-side (control board) Fix minor problems, …  First look at 2011 data encouraging: Time alignment ok, …  Priority with first 2011 data Check gains Check spill over corrections for PS (needed with 75ns BC) Calibration Re-measure ECAL and PS, SPD (mis)alignment Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011

17. 17 Summary  Software: A lot of new corrections have been computed and implemented: Energy correction, S-correction, L-correction, Alignment, … Pile-up correction implemented in software No longer dependency with nPV Energy double counting in pi0 reconstruction understood Reconstruction tuning for MC10 well advanced good agreement with 2010 data New online monitoring version (to be active at pit soon) Fine and detailed corrections took long time (and manpower) and are still not fully completed Should be much faster with 2011 data Hopefully we’ll just need to check the 2010 parameters are still OK for 2011 The tools to extract parameters are mostly in place Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont 22/03/2011
