High rate at 18 deg

Goals

  • SPD PID study (need photon samples)
  • ECal PID study (charged electron and pion samples)
  • We need to study LASPD timing

Run Information

List of Suggested Technical Notes

  • (Mike/Jimmy) alignment and layout
  • (Mike) radiation dosimeter reading
  • (Mike) Runlist (4 plots static for 18 deg linking to dynamic plots, also including 82 and 7 deg), including rates
  • (Darren+someone) Cherenkov analysis
  • (Mike/Zhiwen) summary of rates from preCDR work for each detector (to compare with our beam test)
  • (Jixie) data cooking, pulse finding, integration and deconvolution
  • (Ye) clean sample events – what types of runs to use and how to define them
  • (Carter) LASPD timing extraction, including "edge-finding" algorithm in decoder

High rate at 7 deg

Goals

  • Rates here were too high for proper PID analysis. We focused on carbon foil (and other thin) targets, and asked 5uA dedicated beam time for 20 minutes a week to check out the system. HVs were kept off during high luminosity running.
  • main goal will be to make sure detectors all work properly
  • Data may be useful to characterize limit of the detectors (under what situation would the detector signal "saturate"?)

Target Information

The target ladder was unchanged from 7 to 18 deg (XEM2) and then to deuteron disintegration. The complete list can be found at https://wiki.jlab.org/xem2wiki/index.php/Data_Analysis_-_Target_Information Specifically:

  • 3He: T=5.6 K, P=55 PSI, density=0.041 g/cm^3, 10 cm long or 0.41 g/cm^2 thick -- 3He started out around 100 PSI before the leak
  • 4He: T=5.6K P=110 PSI, density=0.129 g/cm^3, 10 cm long or 1.29 g/cm^2 thick
  • carbon target: 0.574 g/cm^2 +/- 0.002 g/cm^2
  • aluminum dummy: 0.476 g/cm^2 (sum of two foils) +/- 0.003 g/cm^2 (uncertainty of each foil)
  • Xiaochao comment: So 3He is slightly thinner than carbon, and 4He is about twice as thick
