  1. Modeling TKR Readout Effects Leon R. Analysis Group 14 March 2005

  2. In Each Plane <= n hits <=n hits <= m hits <= m hits Only the first m or n hits are kept , where m, n <= 64 This is adjustable by plane (maybe even end?) (Currently handled in MC, with n = 64)

  3. On Each Cable There are 8 cables on each tower. Each cable reads out one-half of one face of every other tray. No more than 128 hits can be stored in each cable buffer. The hits are read into the buffer from the bottom up. (Not in MC) Buffer Buffer Buffer Buffer

  4. An Air Shower(real data!) In x view, hits at top and bottom of shower are mostly on different cables. In y view, they are on the same cables, and the top hits are lost. . Pink squares mark truncated planes.

  5. This is areal event!Diagnostic info says every plane is truncated to 64 at both ends… Not much to go on!

  6. A 500-GeV Gamma (Simulated, of course!)

  7. Oops! Now without the Neutrals! red x’s are MC postion hits, ACD and TKR Not as bad as I feared it would be!

  8. Another One ACD hits

  9. So What Now? • The Problem • The showers from real data develop from the top down. • Albedo from the calorimeter is concentrated at the bottom. • We can’t do much at present (maybe ever!) with lots of hits in a plane. • At the head of the track, the combinatorics are overwhelming. • Reconstruction in the dense part of the shower is random. • The questions • Should we limit the number of hits read out from the bottom planes, to make sure that we see all the hits from the top planes? • We don’t have to decide until we’re in orbit! • But we don’t want to be too surprised! • Should we add this effect in the simulation (Yes, I think!)
