Visualization of the Optical Alignment System of the Muon Endcap Spectrometer in the H8-testbeam set-up Maaike Limper 11-8-2003 Making pretty pictures!
Overview • ATLAS muon spectrometer • The optical alignment system • The ARAMYS-program • Visualization using SVG • Display interface (svg, html, javascript) • Next steps
Precision • Curvature of track gives momentum • Sagitta precision of 500 to 50 µm • In principle you need only relative position of the 3 chambers traversed • Due to position of the endcap chambers, alignment bars required
Alignment components • RASNIK: consists of 3 elements, CCD, lens and LED+mask • BCAM: CCD camera looking at 2 laser diodes from large distance • Alignment bar: contains 3 RASNIKs, BCAMs measure relative position of bars
The optical alignment system • 6 alignment bars • 18 in-bar and 24 chambers RASNIKs (deformations) • 12 BCAMs form 4 polar lines • 12 BCAms form 6 azimuthal lines • 15 proximity sensors connect chambers to bars
ARAMYS • Alignment reconstruction program made by Christoph Amelung • C-code that turns data from alignment system into actual positions • Generate data-file with 3d line co-ordinates • My work: make pretty pictures!
Scalable Vector Graphics • Format to make 2d graphics and animations for WWW (the new flash?) • Needs interface for different component display, rotations and movements • SVG embedded in html, javascript for interactivity

3 more weeks to go… • Implement movements of bars and sensors • Implement deformations of chambers • Improved interface (more options, prettier lay-out?)
