  1. Status Report For Threshold Scans

  2. Shaper/Sampler Drop Trims • As promised new and improved trimming techniques have been developed. • As suggested, we will focus on trims calculated according to drop-off point, calculated separately for shapers and samplers. • Here, drop-off is defined as the highest threshold where the bin content is greater than half the maximum bin content recorded.

  3. Performance of different trims in the Shapers - Untrimmed -Basic Mean Trim - Separate Shaper and Sampler Drop-off trim Owen Miller 19/05/2008

  4. Performance of different trims in the Samplers - Untrimmed -Basic Mean Trim - Separate Shaper and Sampler Drop-off trim Owen Miller 19/05/2008

  5. Correlation Between Pixel Stats • This is essentially an attempt to find out whether or not individual pixel statistics from their threshold scans are consistently related. • Specifically the statistics studied are: Mean threshold, peak threshold and 50% drop-off. Owen Miller 19/05/2008

  7. Mean Vs Peak Shapers Samplers Owen Miller 19/05/2008

  8. Trim Vs Shift • This study is (hopefully) primarily a sanity check, ensuring that the alterations in pixel behaviour caused by applying a trim are both consistent and predictable. • The following graphs are based on a comparison between trimmed and untrimmed runs, showing how much the position of the drop-off changes with the trim applied to the pixel.

  10. Fe55 runs • Several sets of per-pixel threshold scan runs were performed with an Fe55 source next to the sensor. • The following slides show the threshold scans of several pixels with and without the Fe55 source. Owen Miller 19/05/2008

  13. Pedestals & Noise • The pedestal of a pixel is related to its mean threshold (on a threshold scan). • The noise of a pixel is related to the sigma of its threshold scan. Owen Miller 19/05/2008

  18. Fit Results for Sensor 16 • From the graphs on the previous slide we can get the following statistics: • Shaper Capacitor Region 1: • Mean=5.2±24.0 • Sigma=12±1.95 • Shaper Capacitor Region 2: • Mean=5.5±24.35 • Sigma=14.74±2.1 Owen Miller 19/05/2008

  19. Fitting Program • Marcel has been working on fitting program to deal with the ‘flat-top’ threshold scan distributions seen in the shapers. • The program attempts to fit a Gaussian distribution to an individual pixel threshold scan. • So far the program produces reasonable results in 90% of cases.

  22. Laser Runs • We are in the process of starting a study of the sensor using the laser. • The laser will cover an area approximately 10 pixels by 10 pixels, this beam size is achieved purely by shutter control (no defocusing). Owen Miller 19/05/2008
