  2. STAR-MTD Physics Motivation • A large area of muon telescope detector • (MTD) at mid-rapidity, allows forthe • detection of • di-muon pairs from QGP thermal radiation,quarkonia, light vector mesons, resonances in QGP, and Drell-Yan production • single muons from thesemi-leptonic decays of heavy flavor • hadrons • advantages over electrons: no  conversion, much less Dalitz decay contribution, less affected by radiative losses in the detector • materials, trigger capability in Au+Au • trigger capability for low to high pT J/ in central Au+Au collsions • excellent mass resolution, separate different upsilon states • e-muon correlation to distinguish heavy flavor production from initial lepton pair production MTD workshop at Tsinghua Univ., Lijuan Ruan (BNL)

  10. Compared to Υ e+e- with HFT Material budget with HFT similar to that at year 2004 With HFT, it’s hard to separate different upsilon states; e+e- channel samples collisions of |vz|<5 cm; can not sample full luminosity due to more material at |vz|>5 cm MTD workshop at Tsinghua Univ., Lijuan Ruan (BNL)

  12. The Details for the R&D Modules R&D from 2007 to 2011 led to a final design. MTD workshop at Tsinghua Univ., Lijuan Ruan (BNL)

  13. Run 10 Performance: Time and Spatial Resolution L. Li, UT Austin pure muons average pT: ~6 GeV/c σ: 109 ps Cosmic ray trigger (Z.

Geurts Using cosmic ray triggered data: Spatial resolution versus p: intrinsic resolution 2.4 cm before any timing correction INL correction and slewing correction under investigation. See Xinjie Huang’s talk in detail. MTD workshop at Tsinghua Univ., Lijuan Ruan (BNL)

  15. Trigger Capability with MTD Acceptance RHIC II lumonisity in terms of collision rate: 40 k Hz; Au+Au projection: based on Run 10 prototype performance. 1 ns trigger window: 80 Hz for dimuon trigger Run10 Au+Au B. Huang, USTC/BNL MTD workshop at Tsinghua Univ., Lijuan Ruan (BNL)

  16. MTD Trigger System • The primary physics goal requires triggering on di-muon events sampling full luminosity. • To select muons and reject hadronic showers that punch through the magnet steel, a timing cut will be applied to the MTD signals. • Since the MTD pickup strips are ~90 cm in length and readout from both ends, the sum (E+W)/2 will be calculated in the trigger and compared to the collision time. • The average arrival time at MTD boxes in different eta region is different due to difference in path length. • The occupancy in the MTD is very low, only one east and one west signal is sent to trigger from the 60 strips of 5 MTD boxes in the same eta region at 5 nearby backlegs. This allows for a correction on the arrival time in the high eta region at trigger level. The correction could be larger than 1 ns in the highest eta region. See Jo Schambach for electronics details.

  27. MTD System Requirement MTD requirements: • Time resolution less than 100 ps, spatial resolution ~ 1 cm. • The mechanics design must allow a convenient replacement of individual MTD box and access to the BEMC box. • The system must be able to operate in the fringe field from 0.5 Tesla STAR magnet field. • The system must operate at low noise rate. The total noise rate should be less than 0.5 M Hz, 1 Hz/cm2. • The system must be safe, meet all BNL safely requirements. • The system must not impair the performance of other STAR detectors. MTD workshop at Tsinghua Univ., Lijuan Ruan (BNL)

  28. MTD Trigger System • Each 12 strip MRPC is readout by 4 NINO frontend ASICs on a MINO card. Each NINO reads out 6 east ends or 6 west ends. The NINO produces a logic output signal if any of the 6 inputs is above threshold. • The 10 NINO signals and the corresponding east/west signals are logically combined by the MTRG card and a single east and west signal is sent to trigger from 5 MTD boxes in the same eta range at the 5 nearby backlegs. • Each QT can produce 8 (E+W)/2 sums. 4 QT boards required in all. • The QT is currently in use for the STAR trigger system.
