  2. Outline • TB04 • Events observed, analysis of TB04 data • Geant4 Simulations • PMTs added • Muons, pions, jets • FNAL Feb. 08 testbeam • Preliminary results

  3. TB04 analysis from 2005 • 100 GeV pions from TB04 • While analyzing TB04 data during the summer of 2005, abnormally high energy events were seen in several pion runs.

  4. Abnormal Events • These events are most likely to be from Cerenkov radiation from particles directly hitting the PMT window. • peak of muon signal ~ 200 GeV • The glass window is plano-convex. • 1mm thick in center • 6.1mm thick at the edges • These events were also seen in TB07 by Freeman et. al.

  5. 300 GeV Pions • Out of 186878 events for 300 Gev pions aimed at tower 2: • 4056(2.2%) have at least 1 channel with more than 600 GeV. • 3625(1.9%) have at least 1 channel with more than 600 GeV when excluding channels 1 and 14. • 42679(22.8%) have more than 600 GeV per event when summing over all channels. • 7513(4.0%) have more than 600 Gev per event when summing over all channels except 1 and 14.

  6. Assorted comments on TB04 Analysis • Event filters using S/(L+S) and timing have been studied. • Using a value of 0.2 for Δcut from the mean value of S/(L+S) for normal pions: • ~5% of “normal” events would be rejected. • ~85% of “abnormal” events would be rejected. • We looked at several electron runs, abnormal events were not observed. • A CMS internal note has been submitted on this analysis • See talk from last CMS week. • Event filters need to be test for jets at the LHC • New HF simulation is under development • Preliminary results – today.

  7. Geant4 HF Simulation • The original HF simulation only had two depths, one for long fibers, and another for short fibers. • In order to correctly identify abnormal events that were hitting the PMT windows, it was necessary to add the PMT windows to the simulation, these were added as discs located behind HF. • The hits recorded in these discs are represented by two additional depths, one for PMTs corresponding to long fibers, and another corresponding to short fibers. • There are now four total depths for HF. • Working in CMSSW_1_7_0. Rough schematic of PMTs behind HF. The two different colors represent long and short PMTs. Actually 48 PMTs per wedge, only 8 shown. (see Sunanda’s talk today)

  12. Abnormal Event Rates Pt 20 GeV jets (100k events) Pt 100 GeV jets (90k events) Pt (GeV) Pt (GeV)

  13. η of Abnormal Events (20 GeV jets) genrated Pt >40GeV Pt>160GeV Pt > 80GeV

  14. Feb. 08 Testbeam at Fermi • The goal of this testbeam was to test the possibility of placing a crystal in front of the PMT window to help identify abnormal events. • LYSO, BGO • As particles go through the crystals, scintillation should occur. • A large delay in the signal should also be observed. • Involvement from Fermi (Jim Freeman, Rick Vidal), University of Iowa, and Princeton.
