CM23 Harbin January 2009TOF Emittance Measurement13 TOF Beam Char zn Summary ●All the tools required for… ■Space point/time-of-flight/momentum reconstruction at a glance ■Calibrating the TOFs for cable length and testing this calibration ■Measuring emittance ●…are uploaded to G4MICE and easy to use – see software talk ●DAQ and TOF guys are encountering and solving lots of problems ●150 ps time-of-flight resolution due to lack of e+ and time-walk corr. ●Momentum measured, dipole spread >20% confirmed ●Trace space reconstructed. Next: ■Bin carefully, and calculate emittance/optical functions ■Error analysis ■Re-examine MCs ■Take into account emittance growth in Cherenkov
