Goals

  • Detector and system checkout, understanding detector behavior, calibration of MIP and threshold

Test Condition

  • The detector stand was located at 82 deg beam-left.
  • Compared with the later 7-deg and 18-deg setup:
    • the FASPD was in the test setup, and there were only two GEM chambers.
    • Triggers were much simpler due to lack of summing modules and remotely controlled discriminator thresholds.

Run Information

  • Detector calibration:
    • Most scintillators and Preshower show MIP and some double-MIP structure
    • At this large (82 deg) angle, pions would not leave MIP in the Shower
    • For Shower modules, only electrons deposit large amount of energy and we managed to compare data with simulation and use the histogram slope at high energy side for calibration purposes
    • Some mixed up of Shower HV for part of the run period that caused the 3 shower blocks to be grossly mismatched.
  • Jixie's online run list on redmine
  • Jixie's cable and HV map on redmine
