Calibration of the charge response of p/m/e The Bethe-Block curve calibration Important to improve the particle ID capability based on DE/DX information
The available de/dx information is at present stored in 2 YBOS banks: • Packed address of the ADC channel • Packed address of the crossed wires from DHRE2 • Packed address of the extrapolated crossed wires • Drift time of the IN wire • Drift time of the OUT wire • Collected charge in ADC counts • Track length • Effective track length bank DEDX • one for reconstructed track • same ID of the DTFS bank • of the corresponding track • Number of the analyzed tracks • Dtfs address of the analyzed track • Number of sampling • Number of sampling used for the truncated mean • Average de/dx value • Truncated mean • 10. Pull of de/dx in electron , muon, pion • and kaon hypothesis • 11.14. Bethe-Block reference curves for • electrons, muons, pions and kaons • (Pe – Pm) / P • Pe/P bank DEID • one for event

Use: tracks extrapolated to the calorimeter TOF information to reduce contamination (at few permil level) Even considering few % global selection efficiency for some events categories, we have a lot of calibration events
