Integrator boards
Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont22/03/2011
NB requires slight modification of CW bases: install 100 nF in series with 25 Ω. This does not affect the signal.
Recently, the integrators were upgraded: the 40 mezzanines were replaced with new ones.The work on production and installation of new integrator boards, including modification of host CW bases, was performed in December 2010 – January 2011 (Irina, Pavel, Anatoly Zh.).
The nominal sensitivity is 275 mV/μA (110 counts/μA). Measured at the lab before installation in 20 out of 40 boards (Pavel): ±2% deviation. When installed onto CWs, its sensitivity becomes 100 counts/μA because of the 100kΩ “safety” resistor at the CW base.
The anode current in ECAL is measured in 40 PMTs out of 6016, through “integrators”, 1-channel mezzanine boards installed at the back of each of these 40 PMT/CWs (original design by Yu. Gilitsky). Each integrator contains an amplifier for measuring current and pass-through for fast signal and LV/MV.
The readout is performed via SPECS DCU of regular CALO DAC/HV motherboards. Part of ECAL HV projects.
New version (install a 100 nF blocking capacitor in the fast signal line):• uses ~90% of the anode
current, instead of ~1%• sensitivity ~ 100 DCU
counts/μA • DC gain ~2.2 instead of
3000 no stability problems with TL072 (rad hard)

SPD: Keep the 0.5 MIP recipe as the default for 2011Same threshold conditions as last year for most of the cells, only
significant changes in few outliers (0.7 MIPs in 6 cells)Can easily move to any other value if required by L0 e/ studies.
PS: 1 MIP = 10 ADC count instead of 15 ADC countValues of HV have been tuned in order to equalize all channelsTo be checked with first data

Online monitoring
Few improvements have been (or are being) implemented: Automated analyses:
Pedestal following, LED signal & gain monitoring • Reference samples out data are used to tune the thresholds that trigger
alarms in the automated analysis. They’re also used to create new alarms based on collision data.
Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont22/03/2011
Monitoring of the 0 mass being also added to the automated analysis:• mass histo available every ten minutes• Fit a gaussian + a polynomial (order 3)• Fill Trending histograms• Only looked at resolved 0 so far.

New plots in the DM page & new alarms on his screenOccupancy measurements: they can be used to spot dead/hot
channels, frozen FEB, etc… Data will be used to determine the thresholds that will trigger
“WARNING/ALARM/FATAL” messages on the shifters screen.

New LED flashing mode
Addition of an extra 11 kHz of periodic triggers for ECAL & HCAL LED flashing
This would reduce appreciably the gain variation of the PMT as function of luminosity
Commissioned thanks to Richard• Data were taken with additional
LED flashing of 11, 5.5 and 0 kHz: Rate effect up to +18% occurs.
• The rate effect at 5.5 kHz is already close to “saturation”.
• No special stability problems found in the 3.5 hour long run with 11 kHz flashing.
New LED reference samples for calibration have been built

Calibration
Different method are used consecutively in order to reach the best performances for ECAL:
Step 1: LED data to have a first calibration and to follow PMT gain changes
Step 2: smoothing of the energy flow: cell inter-calibration• Effect of trigger negligible : < 0.5% absolute effect on inter calibration• Effect of pile-up negligible : < 0.5% absolute effect on inter calibration
Step 3: Fine calibration with 0 Dead cells and border cells are removed Large amount of data needed: production of fmDST
• To be independent of the Stripping rates and to have an access to all the data collected during 2010: a dedicated production task has to be created. We're ready for production → production team
Step 4: smoothing of the energy flow to allow to recover border cells and surroundings of dead cells
We should reach an ECAL calibration at ~1.5% Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont22/03/2011

Pile-up subtraction Observation on 2010 data : e/p and m(0) significantly increases
with nPV pile-up effect measured as +(0.68±0.07) MeV/c2 per PV above 1 on m(0)
was decided to subtract <EPU> per bin on SpdMult (to be independent of trigger GEC)
not trivial to define the pile-up energy <EPU> : several unsuccessful attempts …
Olivier found a working method:• for cluster at (x,y) look at 3x3 energy at the mirror position (-x,-y)• if Emirror < Ecluster /2 it is a valid ‘pile-up’ energy for that cluster
• Average Emirror per bin of SpdMult → <EPU>/bin =<Emirror>(bin i+1) - <Emirror>(bin i)

Reconstruction tuning for MC10
Purpose : extract reconstruction parameters from MC10 data in the same way it has been done for data :
few months needed for data, hopefully a couple of weeks for MC Tuning not yet completed
just preliminary/intermediate results shown today S-corrections and alignment :
initial MC parameters obtained from DC04/DC06 sample using MC-truth info

SPD Alignment
The SPD alignment wrt trackers has been measured for 2010 data
X coordinate: seem to be rotated around Z-axis ( / \ shape )
Rotation C-side: (0,0,-0.028º)Rotation A-side: (0,0,0.041º)
Global vertical displacement equivalent for all SM (~-7mm)
To be checked
Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont22/03/2011
Try to implement corrections in the condDB Rotation not foreseen …
And to re-align detectors during a long shut-down …

SPD vs M1 multiplicity
From Giovanni Passaleva, 17 January 2011:
M1 hits ~ 1/2 SPD hits
Pascal Perret - LPC Clermont22/03/2011
Miriam had a look: M1 hits ~ 1.1 SPD hits (October
2010 data (BHadron stream))
Same relation in MC than in data:
MC10 (bb-bar evts)
To be checked!

First look at 2011 data
SPD: Occupancy with first 2011 data
looks more homogeneous PS:
The MIP is consistently around 11-12 ADC counts for all boards.
Reminder: 10 ADC counts is the value of the most probable value of the Landau function.
The new calibration set in the electronics seems basically correct at that stage.
Fine analysis with tracks is required for a more detailed analysis / per channel.

Summary
Software: A lot of new corrections have been computed and implemented:
Energy correction, S-correction, L-correction, Alignment, …Pile-up correction implemented in software
• No longer dependency with nPVEnergy double counting in pi0 reconstruction understoodReconstruction tuning for MC10 well advanced
• good agreement with 2010 dataNew online monitoring version (to be active at pit soon)
Fine and detailed corrections took long time (and manpower) and are still not fully completed
Should be much faster with 2011 data• Hopefully we’ll just need to check the 2010 parameters are still OK for
2011• The tools to extract parameters are mostly in place
