SELECTION CRITERIA Only use particles that satisfy all of the following: 1.Have a spacepoint (hit) in TOF0 2.Have a spacepoint (hit) in TOF1 3.Have a spacepoint (hit) in all 5 tracker planes 4.Have a time-of-flight from TOF0  TOF1 between 27 and 40ns 5.Have a P-value greater than 0.05 assigned to them from the tracker’s Kalman fit routine The downstream tracker is ignored, as is TOF2/KL/EMR for the moment. PID selection can and will be improved. 14’392 particles to “have fun” with! 09/19

CALCULATING THE COVARIANCE MATRIX xyPxPy x y Px Py At tracker plane 1 (reference plane): From 14’392 particles: Comment: beam is not cylindrically symmetric 14/19

CALCULATING THE COVARIANCE MATRIX o Measure the beam at 5 planes, 5 potential places to measure emittance o Split beam sample into two, compare Twiss parameters at plane 5 (most upstream) and plane 1 (reference plane) o Reduces sample size to ~7’000 particles/sample z (mm) Run 7469, Twiss parameters at TKU 15/19

SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY o Kalman track fit (currently) assumes a 4T uniform field o With E1-C-E2 coils powered at full current, and others at 0, field is not flat across tracker o PRY enhances field strength o MC studies in progress to assess fully o Can estimate effect from pattern recognition o Not a perfect estimate, as field variation will also affect circle radii… Field calculated assuming warm coil dimensions and no PRY 16/19

Plane 5 SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY Plane 1Plane 5 Plane 1 NB: Emittance here is calculated using pattern recognition estimates, not Kalman track fit estimates as on previous slide Currently assume this Field calculated assuming warm coil dimensions and no PRY 17/19

SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY o The degree to which the following affect the emittance measurement are under investigation: o Field non-uniformity – Kalman track fit can account for this o Field scale (i.e. PRY enhancement) o Improved coil geometry from field map data o Pion’s mis-identified as muons o Independent measurement of emittance using Step I method (TOF0  TOF1) can be used to cross-check measurement at tracker, by evolving ellipse back through SSU field to TOF1. 18/19
