  1. Mini Tower Preliminary Results Xin Chen and Eduardo do Couto e Silva July 14 , 2003 Ground Software Workshop

  2. Minitower Test • All results are PRELIMINARY • These data are not intended for MC validation but to debug the data analysis chain and to study the experimental set-up

  3. The Minitower Geometry LAT-TD-00582-02 Maintained by X. Chen 3% W GTFE Si layer GTRC F G G G F F Y3 X3 X2 Y2 Y1 X1 X0 Y0 V3 V3 V3 V3 V3 V3 V5 V5 no silicon detectors no silicon detectors There are 8 layers instrumented with Front-End Electronics (MCMs) but only 6 layers instrumented with silicon detectors

  4. minitower minitower Data Taking Configurations Cosmic Rays Cosmic Rays 17.6 MeV g Vertical position Expected CR trigger rate 13 Hz Horizontal position Expected CR trigger rate ~ 4 Hz Expected g trigger rate ~ 0.02 Hz

  5. The Experimental Setup minitower BGO crystals Cosmic ray telescope VDG beam pipe EGSE (VME crate)

  6. The Coordinate System X Based on position of disabled or dead channels in every layer, this region (~1/8 of minitower active area) is expected to have the highest trigger efficiency Y Z Position VDG pipe at negative X and Y coordinates

  7. Event rates – TKR trigger There is reasonable agreement between MC and DATA since we assume about 20% uncertainty in the MC rates due to the knowledge of the flux.

  8. Strip Map Y layers X layers This layer with about 300 “live” strips, strongly constraints the parameter space available for triggering

  9. Muons with vertical tracker – TKR trigger only Hit Multiplicity Normalized rates in Hz DATA MC

  10. Muons with vertical tracker – TKR trigger only TOT in each layer Normalized rates in Hz DATA MC

  11. Muons with vertical tracker – TKR trigger only Track multiplicity Normalized rates in Hz

  12. Muons with vertical tracker Dead Channel list from DATA is used as input for MC Reconstructed direction DATA MC X X Y Y Z Z

  13. Muons with vertical tracker Dead Channel list from DATA is used as input for MC MC Reconstructed direction DATA X X Y Y Z Z

  14. Muons with horizontal tracker Dead Channel list from DATA is used as input for MC MC Reconstructed direction DATA X X Y Y Z Z

  15. Muons with horizontal tracker X Z Dead Channel list from DATA is used as input for MC MC Reconstructed Position DATA X X Y Y Z Z

  16. VDG DATA Taking Mode P + Li ---> Be ---> Be + gamma ( 66% 17.6 MeV, 33% 14.6 MeV ) Experiment x Mini tower Pb shield z proton Li target MC Simulation photons Only the Pb shield is implemented in the simulation

  17. Photons + Muons with horizontal tracker MC (photons only) Reconstructed Direction DATA (photons + muons) X X Y Y Z Z

  19. VDG Calibration Minitower : ebf0306040204959 46002 events 8158 s Rate 5.6 Hz BGO crystals : VG13.dat 46907 events 6160 s Rate 7.6 Hz calculated spectrum Used the BGO and estimate the photon rate in the minitower to be 5.7 Hz ± 30% (preliminary) measured spectrum with BGO crystals G. Godfrey Energy (MeV) cosmics

  20. Signal + Background (1) VDG g signal + C.R. background ~ 2 hours of data taking Trigger rate VDG + C.R. ~ 5.6 Hz C.R. ~ 0.5 Hz Cosmic ray background (mm) (mm) We understand the coordinate system of our set-up since both X and Y reconstructed positions are negative 58% of triggered signal + background events were reconstructed 81% of triggered cosmic ray background events were reconstructed The VDG provides valuable DATA to study reconstruction efficiencies of photons

  23. Plans • Continue to look at these data until the next hardware (TKR+CAL) is delivered (mid to end of August) • Analyzing the TKR data at different detector thresholds • Studying possible time effects • The focus now is to develop all the online and offline infrastructure necessary for the next mini tower tests
