  1. The Resistive Plate Chamber Forward Upgrades • Outline • Motivation / Measurement Method • Trigger Needs • Instrumentation • Trigger Details • Offline Analysis Challenges Andrew Glenn University of Colorado, Boulder for the PHENIX Collaboration 23rd WWND Feb 14, 2007

  2. Motivation ？ • The sea quark polarizations of the proton can be probed through the single spin asymmetry, AL, of the W+ and W- • The PHENIX collaboration plans to determine AL and σ for W+ and W- bosons at forward and backward rapidities in p+p collisions at 500 GeV. • In a p+p collision, two quarks will interact at two Bjorken momentum fractions (x1 and x2) and produce a W boson. • PHENIX will look at the cases where the W decays to a muon and a neutrino. It will be able to detect the muons but not the neutrino. A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  3. Method Details • Using the number of muons detected at forward and backward rapidities, AL can be calculated using: • We could simply compare AL to models but, the sea quark polarizations of the proton can be probedto first orderthrough AL using: Large x2 Large x1 Large x1 Large x2 A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  4. Sensitivity • In Bunce et al, Prospects for Spin Physics at RHIC, Annu. Rev. Nucl. Part. Sci. 2000, the sensitivity to the sea quark polarizations were calculated. • The sensitivity is calculated from the number of muons detected as a function x1 and x2. • The Bunce et al. paper, assumes the pT of the W is zero which allows for a one-to-one correlation between measured µ kinematics and the true W kinematics. A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  5. Smearing from W pT • Because the neutrino can not be detected, the momentum of the W can not be completely reconstructed from the decay products causing a smearing in the momentum calculated for the W. • Plotting the true x1 value produced in PYTHIA versus the x1 value that would be calculated from the muon, a smearing occurs in the correlation. x from PYTHIA We will continue to study other effects such as going beyond leading order, reconstruction resolutions … x calculated using m A.M.

Glenn 23rd WWND

  9. Developing Local Expertise Test Stands at multiple institutions GSU Built RPCs A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  10. Test Stand Results 0.5cm strips ~5400ft elevation • Strips widths smaller than ~1cm are useless without ADC • No $$ or plans for ADC (with more than one bit) • Cluster distributions needed for trigger simulations A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  11. Detector Geometry Match MuTRdead areas RPC3 North RPC2 North MuTR backplate “Rings” of equal  coverage Accessible from tunnel A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  12. Readout Strip Geometry RPC2 Octant Units of mm (channels) 141.0 x 11.4 mm Inner RPC1 to 554.2 x 64.6 mm Outer RPC3 Octant and strip readout to be designed to complement MuTR A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  13. MuTR FEE Upgrade • Current MuTR Front End Electronics are too slow for Level 1 trigger • New FEE will provide list of hit strips to Level 1 trigger • Current plan is to instrument non-stereo plains in MuTR stations 1 and 2 for both arms • Funding approved by JSPS Riken-BNL Research Center, University of Kyoto, Rikkyo University, KEK, Los Alamos National Lab, University of New Mexico A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  15. Trigger Algorithm or RPC1(a+b) RPC2 Candidates found by matching RPC1/2 hits within angular range. Momentum cut made by matching hit in MuTr station 2 within three cathode strips of RPC projection. A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  16. Trigger Simulation Results • Full GEANT simulation of PYTHIA events • Use several variations of trigger algorithms (detector combinations) to rejection factors (Statistical errors shown in parenthesis.) • Good efficiency for high pT muons • Based on ~1M PYTHIA p+p events at √s = 500GeV. • Rejection factors are combined for both muon arms. • USES SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PAD READOUT • All over the rejection goal of 10,000 A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  17. Beam-Background Rejection coming from front (in time hits) R1 coming from back (early time hits) R3 R2 • Severity of beam backgrounds at 500GeV (with high luminosity) is largely unknown. • RPC timing used to eliminate early-time hits. • Trigger rejection largely independent of beam-related backgrounds. Collisions! Beam-Related Background A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  18. Time Line Absorber may be added in RPC1’s position matching MuTR FEE coverage/timetable. If so, it will be removed or reduced prior to installation in RPC1 a,b A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  19. Offline Backgrounds • Triggering on W events is necessary but not sufficient. We should try to address all of the offline background issues we can before taking data • Punch through: Small fraction of high pT hadrons which penetrate through the detector • Fake High pT: Small fraction of low pT hadrons which decay in the MuTR and are incorectly reconstructed with high pT A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  20. Punch through Invariant Ed3sigma/dp3 (mb/GeV2) pT (GeV) Red line is UA1 fit form. Magnta & Black: PYTHIA at midrapidity. Blue: PYTHIA at forward rapidity (eta 1.2-2.2). Applying tight matching cuts substantially reduces the background for pions (and kaons) except irreducible fully penetrating category. 10M input 10GeV 20GeV z!=0 background 45k  6k 62k  7k z=0 true punch through 1k  1k 1k  1k z=0 punch + shower 11k  3k 9k  2k Punch through should not be a major issue especially if any absorber is added A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  21. Fake High pT Hadron decays in the MuTR can make tracks appear straighter Can be battled with: • Tighter quality cuts / and inter detector matching • Additional absorber (Tungsten from Nose Cone Calorimeter …) • Additional detectors (Forward Silicon Vertex detector) High pT track A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  22. Summary • The polarized proton program at RHIC will address two key missing pieces of information through W+/- production: • The antiquark spin structure functions • The PHENIX Forward Upgrade will provide the event selection necessary to access this physics: • New RPC-based tracking chambers • New electronics for MuTr LL1 input • New Level-1 Muon Trigger electronics A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND

  23. Side Note on Heavy Ions • RPCs may provide some reduction of combinatoric background in heavy ion collisions, but the pad sizes are too large to have a dramatic impact • Studies are under way to see if the RPCs can help trigger on dimuons in A+A collisions at RHIC II. A.M. Glenn 23rd WWND
