  2. Time Slices • Do the anomalous events appear in time intervals other than the interval that the beam is incident on? • Check time slices...

  3. 100 GeV pion run, incident tower(tower 2) time slices 5 through 8

  4. EM vs HAD channels • How do the EM and HAD channels compare in terms of the number of anomalous events? • histograms for the sum of all towers...

  5. EM alltowers charge (fC) HAD alltowers charge (fC) 300 GeV pion beam, all towers EM and HAD channels real events anomalous events real events anomalous events

  6. TS6 vs TS7 • Concentrate on the time interval that the beam is incident in, namely the 6th and 7th time slices. How are they related? • scatter diagrams for incident tower and all other towers...

  7. charge (fC) charge (fC) charge (fC) charge (fC) 300 GeV pions, TS6 vs TS7 incident tower (tower 2) EM channel HAD channel

  8. charge (fC) charge (fC) charge (fC) Charge (fC) 300 GeV pions, TS6 vs TS7 sum of all other towers EM channel HAD channel

  9. EM vs HAD channels • How are the EM and HAD channels of an anomalous event related? • scatter diagrams for EM vs HAD channels, both for incident tower and all other towers.

  10. charge (fC) charge (fC) 300 GeV pion beam, EM vs HADincident tower (tower 2)

  11. charge (fC) charge (fC) 300 GeV pion beam, EM vs HADall other towers

  12. EM/HAD energy ratios • Do anomalous events generate comparable signals in both EM and HAD channels, as normal events do? • Investigate the behavior of EM/HAD and HAD/EM energy ratios...

  13. 300 GeV pions, EM/HAD ratio incident twr. (events in the expected energy range) Incident channel EM/HAD histogram displays a clear peak, justifying the existence of a correlation between the two channels for real events. all other twrs. (events with Q > 8000 fC) Events with abnormally high signals in the EM channel do not have signals of comparable magnitude in the HAD channel.

  14. Conclusions • Real events have comparable energies in both the EM and HAD channels whereas anomalous events lack such a correlation. • This implies that the anomalous events were not collected the way they should have been. • The effect seems to be amplified in towers behind which the readout boxes reside. Particles directly hitting the PMTs are most probably the cause of anomalous signals.

  15. (Backup Slide)300 GeV pions, HAD/EM ratio incident twr. (events in the expected energy range) The peak emerges again for the inverse ratio. all other twrs. (events with Q > 8000 fC) Similarly, events with abnormally high signals in the HAD channel do not have signals of comparable magnitude in the EM channel.
