  1. PMD Software Status • Outline • Detector Algorithm • Quality Assurance • Experience with cosmic ray data taking • Reconstruction • Alignment Ajay Kumar Dash For the PMD ALICE offline week, CERN

  2. Hardware Mapping information SDigits keV-ADC Conversion From Test Beam Digits ESD Flow chart of Simulation & Reconstruction for PMD Simulation 2003 and 2006 Test Beams Hits Raw Data Clustering Gain Pedestal

  3. Detector Algorithm (DA) • Two algorithms for PMD • Pedestal DA: • Calculates Mean, RMS for each channel • No of Events : 1K (to have a better mean and sigma) • Mode of data taking : Standalone, LDC • Gain DA : • Calculates relative gain of each channel • No of events : ~10 Million • Execute on monitoring machine

  4. DA continuing….. pedestal2304.ped pedestal2305.ped pedestal2306.ped pedestal2307.ped pedestal2308.ped pedestal2309.ped ASCII files ===>>Load to MARC for zero- suppression Stores mean and rms for each channel PMD_PED.root ==>> File Exchange Server (FES) ==>> OCDB Copy stored to DAQ DataBase for GAIN DA • Pedestal DA

  5. DA continuing….. Preshower plane Modules installed for pp run Y Pedestal run No : 42155 X One entry corresponds to one channel counts counts rms (adc) mean (adc)

  6. Lessons from Pedestal Analysis • In the beginning, we were unable to read pedestal raw file • Found few bugs in the decoding algorithm • Fixed AliPMDRawStream class • Now successfully read the pedestal data as well as simulated RAW data • RAW data writing class “AliPMDDDLRawData” is modified appropriately Codes are committed to SVN

  7. Both plane adc 0 0 isolated cell 0 0 ADC>0 0 0 DA continuing….. From Simulation PYTHIA Minimum bias 20K events Sqrt(S) = 14 TeV • Cell to cell gain calibration Philosophy Mimics the single particle muon Isolated adc spectra

  8. DA continuing….. • GAIN DA Single particle 1GeV muon • Minimum entries required : ~ 1k per channel • Total # channels : 221184 • Total entries required for stable mean ( or MPV) : ~220 Million • Simulation: • PYTHIA Minimum bias @ Sqrt(S) = 14 TeV • 20K events => ~ 0.5 Million Entries • No of events required : ~10 Million pp events

  9. DAQ Data Base PMD_GAIN_CONFIGFILE (status = 0 Event = 0 MaxEvent ) PMD_PED.root FetchesPMD_GAIN_CONFIGFILE PMD_PED.root Does pedestal sub Change CONFIGFILE (0, 0, MaxEvt) Write PMD_GAIN.root Event processed >= Max Event Isolated cell search FES True False Write a temp file pmd_gain_tempfile.dat Change PMD_GAIN_CONFIGFILE (1, Evt processed, MaxEvt) DA continuing….. • GAIN DA • One RUN may not be enough to give the required statistics • Need to combine few RUNS

  10. Quality Assurance Implemented at various levels • Hits • Sdigits • Digits • Raw data • Reconstruction • ESD

  11. Hits Level QA counts counts energy deposition (eV) total hits in preshower plane

  12. Digits Level QA counts counts total # of cells hit cell adc

  13. Raw Level QA Total # of cells counts Total cell adc Cell adc

  14. Reconstruction Level QA counts counts # of clusters in 6 modules cluster adc • QA histos are also filled for ESD

  15. Status of QA • Some preliminary histos are defined in the codes • and committed to SVN • In some histos, scales are not proper • Also discussing what are the histos to be put • By the end of this week the final code will be committed • as well as the reference histos

  16. Experience with Cosmic data taking • PMD was included in the Cosmic run • Cosmic data are being analysed • For PMD, it was basically random coincidence • But it was a good experience in debugging the reconstruction software as well as to come across • some hardware problem

  17. Experience with cosmic ….. Run no : 42290 Plots are after pedestal subtraction (Only for one event)

  18. Lesson from Cosmic • For corrupted event PMD reconstruction was crashing • Sometime the FEE board address was wrong in cosmic run, but the pedestals are coming alright. No FEE board address found to be wrong • This problem is under investigation • Remedy • Put protection against the corrupt data in • AliPMDRawStream, AliPMDClusterFinder • Modification inside AliPMDClusterFinder to do the • reconstruction for active modules All modified codes are in SVN

  19. Reconstruction • Clustering is the main algorithm for PMD reco • In the old clustering algorithm, there are many • static dimensions • Everything was cleaned up and made dynamic • memory allocation • The code is under the test using the simulated • Pythia events • Will be committed by the end of this week

  20. For Photons inc Eta of incident photon clus Eta of cluster centre

  21. For Photons inc Phi of incident photon clus Phi of cluster

  22. Alignment • Macro to generate the Alignment object and to read the survey data points are in SVN • Once the detector fiducial points are surveyed, • we can immediately generate the misalignment object
