Presentation Transcript

  1. Calibration of Analog Sensors for the Alignment of Muon Chambers in the CMS experiment Marion Ripert, Georgia Karagiorgi, Thomas Moschoutis Dr. L. Caraway, Dr. M. Hohlmann Department of Physics and Space Sciences Florida Institute of technology Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  2. Large Hadron Collider • pp machine (mainly) • 7 Times higher than energy • in the Tevatron at Fermilab. • Bunches of protons collide in CMS every 25 ns Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  3. The Muon Detector Outer barrel rings Endcap disks Central barrel ring The CMS solenoid will be 13m long with an inner diameter of 6m – the largest superconducting solenoid ever made! Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  4. Installation of muon chambers on ME+2 endcap Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  5. R – Sensor Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  6. Z - Sensor Linear motion potentiometer Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  7. Calibration of R , Z sensors and clinometers R-sensors Z -sensor Clinometer Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  8. Recent Activities • Calibration Bench finished for R sensors, Z sensors, and Clinometers • Understanding & reducing uncertainties: -Reference bar accuracies -Mechanical Tolerance on dowel holes & pins -Mounting procedures • Calibrating production sensors for ME+3 Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  9. Line Up Reference points Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  10. Results for R-sensors: • remove plate from stand • reestablish initial absolute distance with R-bar • remount plate • remeasure Mean Fit line (30 measurements): y(x) = -51.3923 + 2.00482x σ(slope) = rms = 0.00047 σ(Y-intercept) = rms = 0.0314 Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  11. Measuring relative changes in distances <slope> = 2.0453 ±0.0003 (stat) V/cm Corresponds to σΔx = 8 μm over full range (50 mm)  5 calibration measurements per sensor will be sufficient to achieve σΔx = 20 μm over 50mm Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  12. Measuring absolute distances : need new dowel holes. Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  13. Checking the Calibration method : No dismounting and remounting of plates between measurement σ(intcpt) = 0.0032 V corresponding to σ(x) = 16 μm => It’s the holes, not the calibration method ! Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  14. Results with new holes Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  15. Current uncertainties in absolute R calibration • Random uncertainties: (Dowel hole/pin tolerances, Initial absolute distance with reference bars) ± 75 μm • Systematic uncertainties: (including calibration of stepper motor. Mechanical accuracy of reference bars. Non –parallel mover axis and line connecting R -post and dowel hole ) ≤ ± 150 μm Total ≤ ± 150 μm Required: < ± 430 μm (from simulations) Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005

  16. Future Plan • ME+2 : R and Z sensors ready for shipping and installation. • Start mass calibration for R sensors and Z sensors, Inclinometers for ME+3,+4… Marion Ripert Florida Academy of Sciences, Tampa, March 18, 2005
