Summary

Attempted to ramp magnets; but magnet experts have struggled to ramp. Running straight tracks for alignment and TOF calibration

Elog, CDB

Elog is okay

CDB is okay

Online reco

Looks okay. Note that tracker has some dead areas; tracker group has been notified. Also note that there are some spills that are coming through onrec as "0"; i.e. run number 0, spill number 0, no recon events. Durga thinks it is "normal" DAQ misfiring type events

Detectors

TOF

For run 09628

  • TOF0 failed calibration 0.09 % out of range 2.21 % Okay 97.7 %
  • TOF1 failed calibration 0.0 % out of range 0.0 % Okay 100.0 %
  • TOF2 failed calibration 2.73 % out of range 4.91 % Okay 92.36 %

Delta TOF between slabs is attached (RMS is ~twice the TOF resolution). It looks not bad given that there is a calibration coming.

  • tof_validation.pdf is the difference between slabs of all formed space points
  • tof_validation_raw.pdf is the uncalibrated difference between slabs; fileld is the uncalibrated difference for formed space points; dashed is the uncalibrated difference for all slab hit combinations.

Tracker

  • 2017-10-21 There is evidence for some dead channels in the tracker. See this email (cut n paste)
  • 2017-10-22 A new mapping was developed to try to resolve some of the dead areas and reconstruction proceeded with this new mapping and calibration during the day on 21st October; following this the space point reconstruction in tkd looked to have poor efficiency and few tracks were formed (tkd made tracks in less than 10 % of events that made a good track in upstream and a space point in tof2). It is also noted that at the same time the solenoid field was ramped (so helical tracking) and a new MAUS version went out; but likely cause is the new mapping/calibration. Experts are investigating.

Beamline tuning

Analysis

Data rates/etc after cuts. Aim is to get 1e5 "good muons" for each beamline setting, i.e. muons in the "us cut" column.
