CS scanning @ LNGS
Current status and perspectivesLuigi Esposito (European CS Scanning Team)

CS scanning protocol1. CSd are scanned according to fog level
– different cuts are applied for the two samples
2. Double base-track search (STANDARD)3. Manual check validation4. Event validation
5. In case of null (double bt) result: (MICRO)– Compton alignment– ¾ search
6. In case of null result after ¾ search:– we rescan the event according to its topology
• we expect to do it in 10% QE events (see Natalia’s talk)
7. request second brick and send the first back to detector (only after positive result of the second)
8. Support to the labs when the event is not located in ECC
Automatic

Current situation• Currently using up to 7
microscopes for the scanning + 1 devoted to manual check
• 24/7 shift– coverage was around 85%
before Christmas, significantly reduced afterwards
Scanning Station is able to digest 50÷60 CSd/week in this condition
• SySal2000 (VS6, ST8.5)– Improvements excepted
from the release made by Cristiano, tests foreseen

Event classification417 bricks were developed after positive result from the CS
scanning:– STANDARD search: 402– MICRO search: 15
Relative ratio may change since the micro-track search is in progress

High fog CS

High-fog CS scanning
N (Fog > 10) = 104 (12.9 %)N (Fog > 20) = 44 (5.4 %)N (Fog > 30) = 18 (2.2 %)
Current protocol:use ScanGrid when Fog > 10 grains/µm3

CS scanning trend
3 weeks to complete the scanning of the 1st extracted CSd (140 remaining)2nd probable bricks being extracted (4 weeks for 200)

Estimates from the previous slide
• The scanning rate is 50÷60 bricks/week, enough to follow the extraction/development rate to be doubled for 2009 run (including second brick extraction)
• The success rate ~ 60% can be slightly improved ¾ routinely applied but still lengthy

11
Scanning speedStandard scanningScanGrid
• Data from 7 microscopes, 2 microscopes are used with ScanGrid • For the low fog CS, the nominal speed is affected by the reduction of scanning thresholds• Scanning speed is strongly affected by fog level
ScanGrid will be extensively used. Increasing computing power is planned: an upgrade of the LNGS planned in the coming weeks

Data quality: impact of the rescanning
Scanning data quality (micro-track per view, emulsion thickness, reconstructed base-tracks) is monitored with an “online” toolAppropriate actions are taken when DQ is not satisfactory, such as CSD rescan on small areasProgressive reduction of rescanning while keeping constant the effectiveness

CSd-TT comparison: NC events
Nearest CS track with respect to the centroid of the electronic prediction
Accuracy ~ 9 mm in both projections

Preliminary results
Measured Developed Ratio (%)1st brick 650 396 60.9 1.22nd brick 52 20 38.5 2.61st & 2nd brick 75.9
These estimations are VERY PRELIMINARY for the following reasons:• some manual check not yet concluded• some event validation not yet concluded• 3/4 search not yet applied in case of null double base-track result
So the value has to be considered as a lower limit

Improvements and conclusions• Shift coverage 24/7 (+15%)• Increase number (+3 from Lyon) of microscope (+43%)• Increase scanning speed (+13%)• Total rate increase: + 85%
• Data quality improvements– Test new SySal2000, released by Cristiano– Procedure improvements:– Compton alignment and ¾ search
