Outline A TPC prototype based on Micromegas has been tested at Cern (Harp setup) in november 2005 Two Micromegas modules : 2x1000 pads 8x8 mm**2, 52 cm track length Modular and flexible detector concept NB: more relaxed detector resolution needed for T2K This talk : Highlights of the detector Methods and results from the data ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito

19
Data analysis New C++ package Oompa used (ROOT, Minuit, STL)
Exercised and debugged using ILC TPC prototype data Build clusters in each row : adjacent pads close in time Track finder : full length across the two modules, based on a road from seeds in the top-bottom rows Track fitting : χ2 fit in the two projections (x-y, y-t) Crucial ingredient : how to compute the position for a cluster with two pads hit q1 The charges q1 and q2 can be computed from the integral of the track width ST over the pad boundaries Relation between r=q1/(q1+q2), ST and the track position x r measured, ST from Magboltz -> measure x for two pads clusters (numerical method) q2 ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito

22
Resolution study Consider these distributions for clusters with two pads only: Residual cluster-track : track refitted without the cluster info Residual cluster-track : cluster info in track fit [Residual cluster-track (row i)] - [Residual cluster-track (row i+2)] =double residual (divide width by sqrt(2)) The double residual is insensitive to track extrapolation uncertainty ( μm), alignment, track model systematics Fit gaussian width as a function of z ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito
23
Resolution study Little information in clusters with one pad hit.
Distribution integrated over z. Need to study residuals vs z Res 1 pad σ 1800 μm Res 2 pad σ 610 μm Res 3 pad σ 856 μm ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito
24
Resolution study B=0 Ar-CF4-C4H10
Cumulative fraction of rows with no hit, 1 pad, two pad, three or more pad cluster Res width vs z (cm) 600μm Double residual ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito
25
Resolution study B=0.2T Ar-CF4-C4H10
Cumulative fraction of rows with no hit, 1 pad, two pad, three or more pad cluster Res width vs z (cm) 600μm Clusters with two pads or more 1m Overall inefficiency≈5% including electronics, analysis ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito
26
Resolution study B=0.4T Ar-CF4-C4H10
Cumulative fraction of rows with no hit, 1 pad, two pad, three or more pad cluster Res width vs z (cm) 600μm ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito
27
Momentum resolution With Gluckstern formula
we use σpoint=600μm, N=(2/3)*64=43, L=60cm and obtain σp/p<=10.9% at 1 GeV/c, 1 m drift distance for B=0.2 T NB: analysis still in progress, better use of all info, this result will improve lower noise in electronics (600 vs 2000 e RMS) -> lower threshold->more clusters with two pads-> better momentum resolution Other possible improvements for T2K : longer track length, smaller pads, elongated pads … ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito

70cm drift Cumulative fraction of rows with no hit, 1 pad, two pad, three or more pad cluster 0.6 First look at Ar-CO2 data, resolution comparable to Ar-CF4-C4H10 ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito

Attenuation Ar-CF4-C4H10 Ar-CO2 0.5 m 1.5 m Attenuation length: 3.4m
Micromegas works fine with Ar-CO2 but electron capture on oxygen traces is a serious problem ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito
31
Conclusion A new package for TPC data reconstruction and analysis has been developed Excellent results obtained for the T2K TPC prototype Further development : 1) code improvement (cluster by cluster error from binomial and electronics noise) 2) interface to T2K reconstruction ILC-TPC Jamboree February 15, 2006 Marco Zito
