Hot Cell Algorithms • Threshold – hot if recHit energy > certain value • NADA – hot if recHit energy large compared to sum of neighbor cells • Digi – hot if sum of ADC counts > 3 sigma above pedestals
Threshold Values Cells hot if > threshold energy HB Threshold: 3 GeV HE Threshold: 3 GeV HO Threshold: 2 GeV HF Threshold: 9 GeV
NADA (neighboring cell) algorithm • Cell < EnergyThreshold1 not considered hot • EnergyThreshold1 <Cell <EnergyThreshold2: • Hot if sum of neighbors < 0.1 GeV • Energy Threshold2 < Cell <EnergyThreshold3: • Hot if sum of neighbors < (fraction of Cell energy) • Cell > EnergyThreshold3: • Always Hot
NADA HB Not hot if < 1.5 GeV Hot if: 1.5 GeV<Cell<2.25 GeV and sum of neighbors < 0.1 GeV Hot if: 2.25 GeV<Cell< 10 GeV and sum of neighbors < 33% * Cell Hot if: Cell > 10 GeV HOT NOT HOT NOT HOT
NADA HF • Not Hot if: • Cell < 1.5 GeV • Hot if: • Cell > 1.5 GeV and neighbor sum < 57%Cell • Hot if: • Cell > 20 GeV HOT
Digi Pedestal Algorithm • Find time slice T with largest ADC count • Sum ADC counts over 4 time slices from [T-1] to [T+2] • Sum pedestals over time slices • Add pedestal widths, assuming pedestals uncorrelated • Cell hot if (ADC – pedestal) > 3s
HB, HF digi distributions HB HF “Digi Energy” refers to sum (ADC – pedestal)
Caveats • Algorithms used on event-by-event basis; in order to be considered hot, cell must pass algorithm in some minimum fraction (5%) of events • Parameters here are by no means final • Tuned to find small number (but not necessarily zero) of hot cells each event.
