MEG: past present and future (Status and prospects) A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Hit map 2008 2009 Past: february – august 2009 • Intensive work on understanding instability problem on DCHs – finally found problem in HV distribution cards • All chambers repaired before start of 2009 beam time: MH A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Past: february – august 2009 • New Xe purification system in liquid phase installed with new “silent” purification pump (usable during runs): SM A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Past: february – august 2009 • Meanwhile intense work on analysis of 2008 data (being sub. To NPB) Despite sensitivity similar to MEGA FC A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Past: 2008 data analysis A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Past: 2009 run, Aug. Dec. A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Past: 2009 run, Aug. Dec. • Shortening of the beam time period reduce beam tests and tests on individual detectors • APDs (modified for being inserted in trigger) : noise on DCHs could not be used in data taking: FG • DRS4: long start-up procedure: ok ghost pulse removal + temperature dependence but still timing problems between different boards/chips: SR • Plus: problems with m beam settings: PRK A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Present: 2009 analysis RS, WM, CV Likelihood analysis A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Future: 2010 • Understand the reason of the bad timing measurements between different DRS boards/chips SR • Analysis improvements and better knowledge of the apparatus • Build and install chambers with new cathode foils (found some with defects: MH) • Monochromatic positron beam: Mott scattering on a calibration target AP A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Future: 2010 Asymmetric Box analysis A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
Future: 201x; very preliminary 0.5*SES (e+ eff.) and 10 * bkg (2 from Pe+, 2 from timing, 2 from e+ angle) Enter in steady run conditions before proposing upgrades A.M. Baldini PSI February 17° 2010
