16. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I Very Low Energy CTB CTB has collected data at low energy (3-9 Gev/c) It is important to measure the calorimeters response to a low energy pion (a jet = many low energy pions) It is difficult for many experimental problems: particle identification (e, pion, mu) the beam has a parasitic high energy muon component energy calibration is still not properly understood The work is still in progress. (M. Canneri, V. Cavasinni, F. Sarri, I. Vivarelli)

17. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I CTB set up for VLE Our aim: obtain the purest pion sample from VLE data. The VLE beam is made of electrons, pions and muons (μ at the same η of the run and off axis). Electrons are easy to separate. ALL sub-detector are exploited for the muon selection MDT/RPC

18. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I LE Muon identification in TileCal (likelihood) (P i (E) energy distr. in Tile layer i) MC DATA Pions The shape of L allows a rejection of muons. MC do not quite reproduce data

19. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I Event selection – off axis muon ID with timining We want to identify off-axis muons with an unbiased calorimeter selection  we cannot use the position of the energy deposits Hypothesis: the presence of the off-axis muon is uncorrelated with the trigger. Consequence: the timing of the off-axis muon should be randomly distributed in the acquisition window. That is the case. Powerfull way to reject the off-axis muons An event is rejected if both the channels of 1 cell have the reconstructed time outside a 35 ns large window. On-axis event Off-axis event Tile channel 18 η = 0.35 φ = 0 Tile channel 14 η = 0.15 φ = 0 ns

20. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I Francesca Sarri, Giulio Usai PMTs STABILITY We have measured in our lab the gain, QE, noise etc of 24 PMT (the same used in TileCal), illuminated with continuous light simulating LHC at L=10 34 cm -2 s -1. Led light yield monitored by two photodiodes. Surprisingly the gain of all PMT increased with time at a rate of about 0.5-0.7 % per month. No instrumental effect was found. Moreover the precise Cs calibration in different CTB periods confirms the effect also quantitatively. In 2007 we will follow up this effect.

27. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I Jet calibration The H1 method : jet energy is the sum of weighted cell energy. QCD 2 jets events has been used to compute weights using “topoclusters” and cone algorithm (R=0.7). The method/weights prooved to be good also for calibrating jets with different cones (R=0.4) and different samples (t-tbar) and seems to work well also for CTB data. This algorithm is robust and stable and is implemented in ATHENA.

28. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I Similar good results using the same weghts obtained with a Cone0.4, ttbar events, and CTB data

38. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I Same weights applied also to the ttbar events, Rome sample

39. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I The same weights (determined in QCD MC events) work well for different cone definitions, for different samples and also (preliminary) on Combined Test Beam data. This method seems more robust than the “standard” ATLAS jet calibration

40. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I First steps on CTB comparison: G4 vs EXP Vassili Kazanine (Budker Institute Novosibirsk, a former (and future) FAI in Pisa) The simulation of calorimeters in G4 has been the subject of previous studies (Anna, Andrea) using TileCal standalone (TB vs G4). Now G4 simulation of CTB is available and Vassili has taken up the issue of comparing data and MC. The energy scale seems to be under control and the total energy deposition in Tile+Lar is well reproduced, but: the energy in Lar is predicted too large and in tile too small once more we have the problem of the longitudinal shower shape not correctly predicted by G4.

45. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I Richieste: ME Stato delle spese ad oggi: ME: assegnato 109 k€ speso ad oggi 55K€ (51%) manca ancora il contributo tecnici per commissioning (7 mu) E’ richiesta la presenza continua al CERN di Vivarelli e Dotti. Questo non e’ compatibile col finanziamento attuale. Abbiamo richiesto una integrazione di 6 mu per arrivare a fine anno.

46. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I DAQ A new, friendly, DAQ system was built using a CAEN Brigde (V1792) which interface VME to a PC where the DAQ system runs through ROOT. A student (Marco Raglianti) from the Computer Science Department has designed this nice and simple system as part of his “tesi di tirocinio”. The Bridge has become a powerful development system. C++ programs can be fully tested, in ROOT, and then compiled and run on single board PC in VME. What is missing are VME units (ADC etc.): we use old CAMAC units that we have interfaced to VME. Often these units are faulty...

47. Trieste 20 settembre 2006 Commissione I Preliminary. The precision of the method is OK. The problem is the mechanical stability (LED position, optical couplings etc.). Time (h) 10 -3 rms = 6 10 -4
