Event Info SCT + TRT Combined Run # of Events : 110K Track Reconstruction Spacepoint is formed by finding the intersection of the strips on the front and back side of a module Track candidates are built by fitting these spacepoints with straight-line (pattern finding procedure) SCT Spacepoint definition Track Reconstruction (with no alignment) Tracks are reconstructed in ATHENA (ATLAS software) flame work. track candidate

Track Reconstruction if track candidates are found Track candidates are fitted by hits (single or a few strips) (fitting procedure) SCT Hit difinition strip fired if track has chi^2 / ndof < 40, it is accepted !! (Here, tracks are roughly cut) 1 module track For accepted tracks remove one layer hits (e.g. remove hits in layer 0) refit the track if refitted track fills : chi^2 / ndof < 10 & Hits in Top sector >4 & Hits in Bottom sector > 4 this track is used for efficiency caluculation muon remove hit

Efficiency Caluculation strip fired predicted hit position 1.5mm Hit Observed !! extrapolate the refitted track to the layer surface which hits removed = predicted hit position search hits from the predicted hit position within 1.5mm = observed hit or not black : real data red : sim data chi^2 / ndof mm Efficiency Eff = # of observed hit / # of predicted hit real data sim data

High resistance in HV bias line are found in ID barrel cosmic test Statistics Out of 468 SCT barrel modules for ID barrel cosmic test 46 Modules have R>40k  28 Modules have R>40k  after  A cycle. 4 Modules have R>100k  after  A cycle. normal SCT modules should have R = 35 ~ 40k  resistance through the bias voltage circuit High resistance modules

46 Modules have R>40k  Resistance (kOhm) High resistance modules

Efficiency / 0.5% Red Line : R>40kOhm modules (46modules) Black Line : R<40kOhm modules RMS : Mean : RMS : Mean :

Summary module efficiency for layer 0,1,2 show ~ 99% with cosmic ray. module efficiency for layer 3 show ~ 98.2%, a bit lower than other layers. layer 3 top sector efficiency is a bit higher than bottom sector. modules with high resistance show the possibility of efficiency degradation. Plans check what the layer 3 module inefficiency sources are check high resistance modules are really a little bit of inefficient
