  Stated Goal  out /  in of  10 –3  Assume there will be a standard (or agreed to) definition of 6-D cooling.  Assume that the tracker can give us precision particle position and momemtum that this won’t contribute significantly to the error.  Assume particle ID < 1% error  The main sources of systematic errors are in the COOLING CHANNEL and detector solenoids, which will need to be under control to a level such that up to 10 independent sources of systematics will be <  Suggested goal to keep each source of error <3*10 -4 level if at all possible.  What are the beam diagnostics concerns in a single particle experiment? How is beam diffusion controlled? Backgrounds? Systematics: assumptions and questions

MICE Experiments and Systematics  Want to record a full configuration of the experiment at every possible “event”.  Event trigger = accelerator clock (or something very close)  Will be running with different configurations of the cooling channel components and the beam for calibration runs:  Need to understand the tolerances on detectors and cooling channel elements necessary for cooling measurement  Want to record controls data as part of each data event  “Slow controls” are not equivalent to “monitoring” signals

  Areas: 1.Beam shape and content 2.Trackers and detectors 3.Cooling channel  Systematic handles: 1.Using the beam itself: calibration runs 2.Experiment staging and component combinatorics 3.Defining tolerances 4.Determining controls/monitoring readout onto the event record  Controls: 1.Enviromental and backgrounds 2.Particle tracking and ID (determining samples and emittances) 3.Systematics on the cooling channel Systematics readout

Particle ID – ex: Cherenkov (2) - 8 analog channels for monitoring the (positive) HV's. - 8 analog channels for monitoring the analog responses of PM's to light pulses. - 1 digital output channel for triggering the light pulser - 8 TDC outputs (probably not important? depends on the noise levels). - 1 analog channel for a temperature probe - 1 analog channel for the He pressure inside the Cherenkov vessel. - 1 analog channel for monitoring the humidity inside the vessel.

Needed for particle I.D./tracking  Anything that pertains to emittance definition and sample selection  Right now need a list while we can still accommodate changes to the experiment’s design  Subset of normal data record  Responsibility for determining tolerances =>  (  out /  in ) should be within the various detector groups  To be determined by the experimental group ¤Calibration runs ¤Staging ¤Run physics configurations ¤Run durations ¤Event record (including controls)
