Efficiency Summary Expected typical scanning efficiency is >80% with a doublet >95% for one surface. Why we found only 4 out of 7 ? The not found events are very close to edge. Fall in the gap between CSDs Fluctuation due to low statistics
Conclusions and Prospects Succeeded to connect TT to Emulsion. We found 4 out of 7 events. 3 not found events are predicted on near edge By using fourfold coincidence, the candidates are very few. No background tack were detected without TT cut by eye scan. Usable for ‘Brick Tagging’ Scanning efficiency is ~80% for the moment Study reduce requirement like 3hits out of 4 surfaces Studies for distortion, thickness and plate setting is going on. Edge part efficiency will be confirmed. Constructing Scanning facilities.
