Monte Carlo

  • In a good state waiting on Durga for multiple tracks per Tracker.

Pattern Recognition - AD,

  • No method to get multiple tracks per trigger as not available in MC.
  • Happy now with straight line track fitting. However there are still some outliers that have to be understood.
  • Helical tracks would be interesting to have but may not be in the next user run. Only 1% with more than 1 track in each tracker.

Online Displays - MU

  • Committed and in latest release. Need to add Kuno plot and info box.

Performance and Analysis - PK

  • Data handling has improved significantly, no data on this yet as its a moving target improving all the time.

Issues

Tracker Software Paper and Documentation - AD, PK DR

Analysis of first data from run 01.a

Chris Hunt has some data analysis scripts that all can use and has some processed data files:

While the Grid Processing of Data is under development, some batch processed data, from the recent runs, is available on the RAL PPD machines in the directory:

/opt/ppd/mice/MICE_Processed_Data/

Please be aware that it was processed with an experimental branch of MAUS due to the requirements of the software commissioning. If you experience some issues please try merging the updates available in the launchpad branch:

lp:~christopher-hunt08/maus/maus_scifi_recon_devel

and try again. If you still experience issues, please let me know - C Hunt.

8. Tracker Documentation

We need to produce documentation for the control room and ISIS, for Steve B. We cannot necessarily get that far with operations and startup as we are not yet working with the CandM as we will but we can write something and finalise safety details.

8.2 Operations Procedure

8.3 Tracker Online Emergency Procedure

  • We have been asked to provide documentation for ISIS and eventually shifters in what to do in an emergency situation for the Tracker when running

    - schematics of the system
    - a list of associated checklists at power on, and who works through them.
    - a list of instructions to shifters on how to operate and monitor the system
    - emergency shutdown instructions
    - power-up instructions
    - trouble-shooting : what to watch for
    - a list of regular maintenance and safety checks
