3. 3SIST 2004 What is the D ø Experiment?  Purpose of the D0 detector A tool that particle physicists use to “see” the products of a collision. Each collision seen by the detector is called an event. A tool that particle physicists use to “see” the products of a collision. Each collision seen by the detector is called an event.  What is an “Event”? An event is a single collision of two particles or a decay of a single particle. D ø The D ø detector consists of different sub- detector components: [1]. Silicon Micro Strip Tracker (SMT) [2]. Central Fiber Tracker (CFT) [3]. Central Pre-Shower (CPS) [3]. Calorimeter (CAL) [4]. Muon Scintillator Counter (MSC) [5]. Proportional Drift Tube (PDT) [6]. Forward Proton Detector (FPD) [7]. Mini Drift Tube (MDT) [8]. E.t.c.

4. 4SIST 2004 D ø calibration database - What is calibration? - What is calibration?  Detectors work by measuring ionization as electric signals.  The signal is amplified and digitized.  Calibration constants are obtained using: - E = aV + b; - a: multiplication factor (gain), - b: offset (pedestal)  Calibration is the process of obtaining these constants. these constants.  These calibrated constants are stored inside of the Oracle Database. inside of the Oracle Database.  The Oracle DB also holds the calibration constants for each of the sub-detectors. constants for each of the sub-detectors.

5. 5SIST 2004 Need for calibration database browser?  Simplified user access to data in the database  User doesn’t need to learn database details  For Example, SELECT VALUE FROM PEDESTALS WHERE RUN_NUMBER=192504;  Easy access to data  via standard internet browsers  For Example, Netscape, IE, Safari  Visualize the data:  Ability to plot the data as graphs.

6. 6SIST 2004  My project:  provide access to the offline calorimeter calibration database through the existing offline calibration database browser.  create an online calibration database browser based on the same technology as the offline browser.  Configured it to work on a Linux Server.

7. 7SIST 2004 -added the calorimeter calibration database subsystem subsystem

8. 8SIST 2004 A table of numbers is difficult to interpret

9. 9SIST 2004  Data accuracy  Anomalies

10. 10SIST 2004 Contributions to D0 calibration database browser - New Online calibration database browser!  Presents users with 3 buttons which represents 3 of the sub-detector database. database.  Allows navigation (drill down) of the database using the foreign keys.  Ability to plot the data as graphs.

11. 11SIST 2004 How does the calibration database browser work? - What happens when a user clicks on any of the buttons? JDBC

12. 12SIST 2004 D0 calibration database browser - written in JavaServer Pages (JSP) and implemented using Servlet - written in JavaServer Pages (JSP) and implemented using Servlet  JavaServer Pages – a technology for developing web pages  A JSP page contains:  HTML tags  Special JSP elements  Key aspect of JSP:  Servlets  Java Beans  JFreechart Servlets are Java programs that use the Java Servlet Application Programming Interface (API).
