Some comments
• All the scintillators downstream the crystal have rate very well CORRELATED– Shown only TEC3 and GEM
• September MD: a pair of QD scint moved more downstream (dispersive region) to monitor losses
• Next slides on Sep MD

First scan: TEC3 rate
• Clear pattern (main channeling peak + secondaries)

Second scan
• Same pattern (one more peak…)• Peak at -2000 murad is the MAIN chan. peak

Inner/outer asymmetry ? TEC3 and GEM2 are on opposite sides with respect to the beam
When crossing the channeling position we see an asymmetry Volume reflection and inelastic interaction in crystal ?

High intensity beam
• Apart for rapid changes (correlated to movements of various devices) a rate increase on longer timescale is observed : machine instability ?
![Page 22: UA9 scintillators and GEM data analysis](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062808/56815221550346895dc06641/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What’s next?– Look at Nov data– Correlate scint rate with crystal and LHC
collimator position (loss rate differences) – Check rate increase with beam at low int. with
crystal in amor. and chan. Position (is a machine instability or a crystal feature?)
– Correlated scint/GEM rate with Medipix counts (intercalibration)
– Study GEM2 pattern (lateral distribution of rate): information on inelastic interactions?
