Tail-Catcher/Muon Tracker Prototype

This project aims to provide a snapshot of the tail-end of a shower for simulation validation. It involves prototyping a high-fidelity detector for a generic LCD, correcting for leakage and understanding the impact of coil muon reconstruction and eflow fake rate.

  1. Tail-Catcher/Muon Tracker Prototype Vishnu V. Zutshi for NIU/NICADD

  2. Goals for the TC/Muon System • Provide a reasonable snapshot of the tail-end of the shower for simulation validation • Prototype detector with high-fidelity to what is imagined for a generic LCD correcting for leakage understanding the impact of coil muon reconstruction + eflow fake rate V. Zutshi, ECFA, Durham

  3. Leakage V. Zutshi, ECFA, Durham

  4. Shower Depth Shower depth dependent sampling weights (least squares minimization) are calculated with and without tail-catcher energy. Weights for layers get progressively “frozen”. V. Zutshi, ECFA, Durham

  32. Absorber and Cart • Good quality steel plates from Fermi scrap available (0.75 and 4 inches thick). • Maximum size for the thicker plates is 1.066m x 1.2m. • Cart being designed with about 10 tonne load capacity. • Will have the capability for forward-backward and left-right motion. V. Zutshi, ECFA, Durham

  33. Quality Control I • Hole Tolerance • Width and thickness measurements • Dopant presence • Attenuation length measurements • Longitudinal and horizontal scans V. Zutshi, ECFA, Durham

  35. Quality Control III V. Zutshi, ECFA, Durham

  36. Summary • Strip-fiber R&D essentially done, we are entering construction phase. • All the scintillator required for the device has been produced. • Mechanical prototype cassette assembled. • Hope to have the first fully instrumented layer readout before year-end. V. Zutshi, ECFA, Durham
