Presentation Transcript

  1. Preliminary Results of the Test Run at SLAC Petra Hüntemeyer

  2. This analysis based on ... • two weeks of data taking • or 707 runs each with between 2500 to 5000 recorded ‘events’ • or  2 million recorded ‘events’ • gas fillings: air, nitrogen, air-nitrogen mixtures, ethylene • pressures between 3 and 760 torr • readout from one of two PMTs

  3. Analysis variables are... • gas type/mixture • pressure • gas flow bit • beam charge • signal in the signal tubes • signal in the blind tubes • HV applied to the PMT

  4. Cut Flow

  5. First Pass Data • Signal PMT

  6. First Pass Data • Signal PMT

  7. First Pass Data • Signal PMT

  8. First Pass Data • Signal PMT

  9. Background subtraction

  10. Background Subtraction

  11. Corrected Signal • Scorr = Sraw - Pave - f eth S blind • S raw : raw signal • Pave : average pedestal • S blind : blind tube signal • f eth : factor from Sraw / Sblind ethylene runs

  12. Linear Region • Definition of a range where signal vs beam charge behavior is linear

  13. Yield Calculation Y = Scorrfconv / bc  acc / sen • Scorr : corrected signal [ADC counts] • fconv : conversion factor, ADC counts to pC • bc : beam charge [ e-] • acc : geometrical acceptance • sen : sensitivity from calibration folded with Bunner • spectrum

  14. Calibration

  15. Preliminary Result : Air

  16. Uncertainties: Air (incomplete!)

  17. Preliminary Result: N2

  18. Preliminary Result

  19. How does this compare with earlier measurements? • Kakimoto et.al, • Nucl. Inst. And • Meth. A372 527 • (1996) • Preliminary result • from this test run • @ 28.5 GeV: • 5-6 photons • per m per e-

  20. Analysis Conclusions • promising preliminary results from a first look at the data • a large amount of data collected during test run remains to be analyzed and more detailed systematic studies have to be performed • insights from test run and analysis serve as input for the preparation of the anticipated experiment at SLAC

  21. Conclusions • purpose of T461: test run for a more sophisticated experiment proposed at SLAC • we observed PMT signals in coincidence with the beam whose features are consistent with fluorescence • the enhancement of the pure nitrogen signal over that in air is consistent with what we expect from earlier fluorescence measurements • we observed a non-linear behavior of the fluorescence signal versus beam charge in the excess of 2  109 e- • we also observed a linear behavior below 109 e- • a study of the blind tubes indicates that the beam halo related backgrounds are relatively small
