Fiber Tracker Meeting Minutes
October 28, 2003 - 10am, farside
- Status of shutdown activities : Borcherding
- we will be warmed up again tomorrow during the grounding tests
- these tests could go as long as Friday
- we will be kept just above liquid nitrogen temp as a compromise
- comment from Jadzia: we are taking damage every time we warm up,
especially if it gets to room temperatures
- concerns about affect of grounding studies on tracking has
been brought up with Dmitri
- can we use a standalone PS for lid heaters? safety concerns...
- Jadzia has been working towards getting all boards working again
- low voltage power supply modifications
- low voltage power supplies 1-6 are working
- 7 is having trouble
- rest are going in today
- having a lot of problems
- p clamp change?
- firmware taken back out because we cannot test it on the platform
without the power supplies
- calibration runs and LED runs looked ok, but channel 13 SVX average
mean was up by 20 counts
- will try again later, but don't know when
- have three more weeks before TeV comes up, but we don't know what
access situation will be. This is the last week for unlimited access
- replace crate 0x50 this week?
(because it is damaged with no free spare slots)
- we are extremely concerned that we are running out of time,
especially with the recent rash of things breaking
- CFT light yield plan & analysis : Boeriu
- talk slides
- there were mapping problems in recocert - fixed
- plot 1, 2, 3, ...
- left side plots are data with 20ADC cut applied
- right side plots are data without the cut
- it is possible that different numbers of events were processed
for each
- these are only hits on tracks, not all hits
- there has been no eta cut
- each channel is plotted separately, not clustered;
however, reco clusters and these hits have been processed by reco...
- these plots seem to lean towards the 20 ADC cut being good,
even suggesting we cut harder - this can't be right
- need to rethink how this study is being done...
- plot just the largest hit, not all hits?
- LATE ADDITION: more plots
- CFT light yield plan & analysis : Jabeen
- talk slides
- data we are using is ...
- eta requirement is <+- 0.3
- only using single, wide clusters
- stereo gains plot - peak near 30? bad fits?
- p5 - left side are stereo, right side are axial
- p7 - top left = ADC - ped / gain for axial layer 3
- general comment: Can the axis labels and titles be in a larger font?
- comment from Jadzia: this looks good, like something we can work with!
- comment from Fred: would like to see the same plots with
more statistics / events
- CTT status : Stefan
- except for super sector 5 (where the power supplies are off)
things look good
- have one link with a problem
- all problems we were seeing last Friday went away
- CPS threshold calibrations are not done yet, really need to get done
