Preliminary installation before Q7 (July 08)
Installation in final position inside DSA
M. Bonesini - VC 18-12-08 3
During data taking: one broken PMT (channel # 28, it was one of 3 discharging ones as discovered from preliminary tests at RAL after transport in June). It will be changed next weekend

• installation 9-12/12 • some data taken in two short evening runs• more data needed • installation went smoothly also thanks to the help of many people (DL team, Andy, Willy, …)
Waiting for “GODOT” (alias the Waiting for “GODOT” (alias the beam)beam)
• clearly with an “electron”, “pion” beam only a limited limited detector debug may be done:
• rate effects on PMTs will not show up• …
but still useful if AT LEAST we may study as complete as possible detectors: it means all detector channels read-out by DAQ

Some DAQ numerology Some DAQ numerology
• aim aim readout TOF0,TOF1, KL + 2 taggers behind KL • it means 40 ch for TOF0, 28 for TOF1, 42 for KL, 4 for taggers • we have enough TDC channels (3 boards: 2 Rm3, 1 MIB) • we have 14 FADC boards delivered to MICE delivered to MICE from RM3 (of which at least 12 installed at RAL)• proposal:• 5 boards TOF0• 5 boards KL (we do not equip the 2 upper PMTs)• 4 boards TOF1 + taggers
All this will put clearly some stress on the All this will put clearly some stress on the DAQ teamDAQ team

TOF requirements for next run TOF requirements for next run
Instead of many runs, 2 high statistics run : one with pions and one with electrons

Analysis effort Analysis effort
Mark and Yordan are looking to last weekend runs, but some problems are hanging around (decoding, …). But some good news: we may read the data and have plots. Some very preliminary plots from Mark in the following.

Cable length calibration of TOF0Cable length calibration of TOF0//11(verbatim from Mark’s slides)
• Goal: 0th order calibration of the PMTs within a plane relative to each other• Method: determine a TDC for each PMT• Event selection:
– Single space point– Passes through reference slab
• Conditions for all the slabs in a plane:
– Make <TDC1 – TDC0> the same• Constrains TDC1 – TDC0
– Make <tslab being calibrated – treference slab> the same• Constrains TDC1 + TDC0
• Next:– Improve statistics, especially in the outer slabs– Consider an FADC cut– Use e+ to calibrate the 4 planes of TOF0 and TOF1 relative to each other– Add an initial time-walk correction (large signals pass the discriminator sooner)
• Incorporated in G4MICE application TofCalibration

1. TOF2 counters assembled, but not still wrapped out
2. TOF2 PMTs under repair at Hamamatsu: delivery expected by mid January 09
3. ARMCO steel for local PMTs shielding procured at CERN and now in house
4. final design of KL+TOF2 trolley under way5. final design of TOF2 mechanics + local shielding

ConclusionsConclusions
TOF0 installed since June 2008 TOF1 installed since December 2008 performances seem compatible with what obtained at BTF (no time walk correction possible) TOF2 will follow soon
