First Look at Global Alignment of LHCb Detector. Forewords. The goal here is to obtain a relative alignment of the entire LHCb detector Other groups are working on the internal alignment of subdetectors. Here, we are only interested in global transformations between detectors.

Forewords • The goal here is to obtain a relative alignment of the entire LHCb detector • Other groups are working on the internal alignment of subdetectors. • Here, we are only interested in global transformations between detectors. • Taking VELO and T stations, one could have: • Relative misalignment in X, Y, or Z with respect to the assumed value (3). • Rotation around the Z axis of one subdetector relative to the other (1) • Rotation around X,Y axis (or shearing) of one sub-detector wrt the other (2). • Different Z scale between one subdetector and the other (1). • Tracking alignment is the starting place, since all other subdetectors require an aligned tracking system.
LHCB Detector XZ Plane, Bend plane YZ Plane, “non”-bend Strategy: Match upstream and downstream segments at the magnet center. Extract relativealignment between the two subdetectors
Magnet OFF/ON Data • Magnet OFF data will be a critical first step to decouple B field/material effects from geometry. • Magnet OFF data can be used to extract all 7 relative alignment parameters. • Magnet ON data can only provide 5 (DX, DY, DZ, Dfz , Shear in Y) • Shear in X and Z scale only change the reconstructed bend angle • ~no change in track c2, for example • Magnet ON data more difficult • Let’s start there…
Need Center of the Magnet • Assume dipole magnet gives a px kick at the effective center of the magnet. • The effective center is simply the intersection point of the upstream and downstream segments. • In general though, the effective center depends on both the VELO and T angles ( and |p| ) • To reduce this dependence, which becomes large for large angles (and low momenta), we use tracks with: • P >10 GeV/c • VELO X & Y slopes less than 100 mrad • T-station slopes less than 200 (100) mrad in X (Y) view • Isolation not required at this stage, but can be explored if necessary. • Must reconstruct VELO tracks and seed tracks independently so notto bias the result. Not the default way to obtain tracks… All simulations shown are 5K Min Bias events

Corrections to Y slope For a perfect dipole withfield along Y, pY does notchange, but, the angle does,since pZ changes… Correct Qy(T-stations)for change in pZ…

Summary • X, Y Translations and Z rotations “reliably” determined, with 5K events. A 0.3 cm bias in Z shift is still under investigation.Obtain resolutions of about: • DX: 20 mm, DY: 40 mm, DZ:1 mm, DQZ:0.2 mrad (Did not simulate Z-stretching or compression (yet)) • This level of statistics at the right level for determining the global alignment parameters. • Will generate magnet OFF simulate data next. • Need to understand this bias.. • Need to move to ROOT for final package..
