Detector Timing

Detector Timing. Using timing in detector elements to suppress backgrounds arising from neighboring bunches requires some care. Transit time for high energy muon is ~8.5 ns through barrel calorimeter at 90 º . Hadronic showers create many long-lived neutrons and other decay particles.

  1. Detector Timing • Using timing in detector elements to suppress backgrounds arising from neighboring bunches requires some care. • Transit time for high energy muon is ~8.5 ns through barrel calorimeter at 90º. • Hadronic showers create many long-lived neutrons and other decay particles. • Timing information available on hit basis. • Work needs to be done (or not) to develop effective strategies to handle this information.

  13. Comments • Times in tracker can be handled (even for slow exotics) by adopting a follow-your-nose approach when adding hits to found tracks. • momentum allows t.o.f. to be estimated. • don’t consider hits outside expected time window. • Late-time calorimeter hits arising from hadronic showers are low-energy and diffuse around the shower core • These hits do not cluster. • Full timing information is available for more detailed studies (if necessary).
