RPC data in RAT • MTCC phase II • global run 4188 • 4 chambers have RPC data: • ME+1/2/28 • ME+1/3/30 • ME+1/3/31 • ME+1/3/32 • Bugs found in decoding of RPC raw hits in TMB data fixed and committed to CMSSW tag V00-09-04 (A. Tumanov) • Recall, RPC raw hits in TMB data for each time bin: • 3 bits bxn • 12 bits pad data (= OR of [configurable] number of RPC pads) • Cuts imposed on first look at data: • 1 Local Charged Track in CSC • 1 RPC pad data bit
RPC bxn • (Parity bit + single RPC pad bit) picks BXN with even number of bits • few events with odd BXN under investigation… • Have requested that parity bit be disabled…
RPC pad bit vs. CSC informationME+1/2/28 • Some features: • correlation of RPC pad bit with CSC LCT position observed • Covers ~1/2 of the chamber (?) • RPC pad bit 11 never sent • map “derived” from these data under discussion…
RPC pad bit vs. CSC informationME+1/3/30 • Some features: • different correlation of RPC pad bit with CSC LCT position observed • full chamber covered (ME1/3 WireGroup counts 16-48) • RPC pad bit 11 never sent • map “derived” from these data under discussion…
RPC time bin • RPC data arriving at end of window in TMB… • Current configuration settings: • fifo_tbins = 12 • fifo_pretrig = 7 • rpc0_delay = 1 (default should be added to xml file) • What to do? • Increase fifo_tbins? • Reduce fifo_pretrig? • Request reduction in link board timing topull RPC data back into window? Is this needed for TMB to use this data in the future? • Separate the sequencer trigger fifo window and the RPC data fifo window?
