[Sbs_gems] [EXTERNAL] Fwd: Cosmic data for UV Layer and J1

Fri Nov 5 14:55:21 EDT 2021

Hi Sean

Yes, may be the mapping is correct.

But I have a question: What gives rise to the  drop along the sharp straight lines at roughly + and - 160 mm ? Is it the trigger scintillator ?

Hi All,

Here are the results using 2 hit minimum clusters. I think the UV GEM mapping looks fine. However there are a lot of areas with missing strips adding up (I count at least 7 areas). It looks to be about 5-10% of the active area in missing strips. Since we have time, as Bogdan suggests, I will try to fix as many as I can.

Best,
Sean

Hi Sean,

Maybe you are right, but please double-check carefully without assumption that just because you duplicate the same mapping for the other chambers, that you got all your mapping right.

I see a lot of patterns in both 2D hit map and 1D hit distribution that make me suspect that there is a mapping issue, though I am not prepare to bet my life on this

Best regards

Kondo

Hi Kondo,

The UV layer does not have a mapping problem. It is an exact copy of the mapping from BB, which is proven to be correct. I believe the pattern and all the hits outside the active area are just noisy strips that cause bad 2D correlations, since this is a low level analysis and does not have tracking to check that hits are true. Also notably, I just realized this is an old version that accepts 1 strip clusters, which certainly also contributes a lot to the noise that we see. It may be worth it to rerun with 2 hit minimum clusters.

For the UV data, I see there are some strips missing, and an entire APV on the right most side. I looked at the GEM yesterday and did not see anything disconnected, and also the raw APV data did not show me that the APV was bad. So I am not sure if it is possible to fix all these missing strips. If we have time I can try replacing some APVs, but it will likely end up being more work than it is worth. Also I will note that the large missing area from one APV on the right side correspond to the top of the GEM, and would therefore be outside of the production cross section anyway.

Best,

Sean

Hi Zeke,

I don’t think it is a big deal. Sean or John will probably fix it quickly

Thanks

Hi Kondo,

I am not as familiar with the UV layer mapping. So I'll talk to Sean about this. I'll also do some comparison with the BB UV layer mappings.

Hi Zeke,

That is great. Thanks for these first results.

It looks to me that there is a mapping problem with the UV layer.

Please have a look at the pattern of the 2D hit map. Just a minor issue

Best regards

Kondo

Hi GEM folks,

Attached you will find cosmic data and plots for the UV layer and J1. Taking cosmic data on the UV layer was priority, but we managed to get INFN J1 running as well. We took this data earlier this week. There were about 500,000 events.

Other than a few strips that look not great, it looks like the UV layer is performing fairly well. Maybe Sean, Anu, or John has more to say about that.

In regards to J1, each module on this layer has 2 shorted sectors. Which we see fairly clearly. However, there is a missing APV on the middle module. This was disabled because of connection problems that have since been better  understood. The top module has a partial or almost missing APV, this connection has since been remedied but needs to be checked. So this APV on the middle module is the last major thing that needs to be resolved for J1. There are some strips on the top and middle module that are partial and it needs to be understood if those are bad strips or partially disconnected APVs.

So again the main result for this is the UV layer. But this is also a good starting place for J1. Also take note that the empty plots are simply because this plotting macro was not adjusted for 2 layers instead of 5.

Best,

Zeke
