  2. Photon tag set-up l D δ pe θ(rad) = 0.3 B(T) l(m)/p(GeV/c), δ(m) = D θ = 0.3 B(T) l(m) D(m)/p(GeV/c) Set B to the max value (0.9 T) in order to have the beam axis in the middle of SSD (black arrow) Perform an alignment run with pions Decrease the magnetic field to the B* in order to have the beam axis (green arrow) outside the plastic scintillator used in the trigger downstream the SSD, but within the dump Residual electron momentum (pe*): 0.3B*l/ θmax  pe*  0.3B*l/θmin, p=pe-pe* θmin = θ – 0.5 w /D, θmax = θ + 0.5 w /D w = SSD acceptance width (about 6-7 cm) Nicola Mazziotta, INFN-Pisa Mar. 21, 2006

Photon test beam set-up and trigger Beam: electron/positron EM Cal SSDs 2 SSDs (1%X0) S4 S2 C2 (3%X0) GLAST CU S3 C1(3%X0) Sh S1 (2.5%X0) TRIG = S1 S2 S4 Sh C1 C2 S3 Critical parameter: the angle θbetween the electron and the photon θ = θout - θinp, Δθ2 = Δθ2out + Δθ2inp + …. Δθ2inp(out) = s/(12 d) Where d is distance between the SSDs and s is the SSD pitch (228 μm) Nicola Mazziotta, INFN-Pisa Mar. 21, 2006
