HBD HV Controland Monitoring System A Gain vs. HV study throughout Run-9 – PART 2 – Manuel Proissl HBD Meeting 06/23/2009
Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 GENERAL NOTES • Entire gain and HV data from Run-9 has been processed and is written to the <mod>gain tables in hvdb for future reference. • Several (first) sections of this data have been analyzed and are presented below. • Although gain fluctuations are studied based on parameters we’re aware of having direct effect on the gain, incl. • P/T measurement and • Applied GEM voltage; • a solid overall conclusion of its real behavior cannot be given at this point, as the following results indicate.

Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 NO HV CHANGE :: CHANGE IN GAIN • Gain increases by ~ 50% • During a PHYSICS running “downtime” of 4 hours, the detector was at Standby.

Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 NO HV CHANGE :: CHANGE IN GAIN • During the entire inspected runtime, the P/T varied by 0.25% and stayed within its bin: • 2.52892 - 2.555846 Torr /K • During a PHYSICS running “downtime” of 4 hours, the detector was at Standby. • Gain changed even though no change in voltage nor acceptable P/T within ±10% window.

Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 HV CHANGE :: CHANGE IN GAIN • Gain increases by ~ 96% • During a PHYSICS running “downtime” of 2 hours, the detector was brought to Standby and then ‘Quad-tripped’ before the SA1 recovered it to a new P/T HV setting… the gain jump appears.

Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 HV CHANGE :: CHANGE IN GAIN • Gain increases by ~ 22% • During a PHYSICS running “downtime” of 2 hours, the detector was brought to Standby. STANDBY HBD HV Control & Monitoring System Manuel Proissl Page 6 of 11
Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 HV CHANGE :: CHANGE IN GAIN • During the ENTIRE runtime, P/T has been rising (~ 1%) without any change in gain until it passed the boundary, which is when we adjusted the voltage… • The software did what it was supposed to do! • However, the idea is to keep the gain STABLE by adjusting the HV if the gain raises or falls respectively!

Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 HV CHANGE :: “NO” CHANGE IN GAIN • Before IR Access on June 10th and after, the gain did not change, although the HV has been changed to the next P/T HV bin. shown above IR ACCESS HBD HV Control & Monitoring System Manuel Proissl Page 8 of 11
Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 HV CHANGE :: “NO” CHANGE IN GAIN • The P/T was changing quite a lot as well as the HV after the access. • Nevertheless, the gain remained constant.

Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 GAIN STABILITY FOR ALL 200GeV runs • One module from the East and West is plotted for the two most activate P/T sets throughout the entire 200 GeV run. Only Physics runs without virtual or hardware trips in ES3 or WN5 have been chosen. • Overall stability of the gain can be seen for each individual set.

Upgrades For Run9 | PHENIX, BNL HBD HV Control System HBD Meeting :: June 23rd, 2009 Entire P/T Variation for Run-9 • A large fraction of the 500 GeV data shows lower P/T, corresponding to March 15th to April 13th. mostly T1 & T2 bin activity. • Unlike the overall 200 GeV run, showing several high peaks with a primary bin range of T2 to T3. 500 GeV 200 GeV HBD HV Control & Monitoring System Manuel Proissl Page 11 of 11
