  3. Data Acquisition Framework: CODAWBS 2.4.1 • The CODA (CEBAF Online Data Acquisition) software frame work will be used for Data Acquisition Take from D. Abbot, CODA Users Workshop 2004 E906/Drell-Yan Review: Data Acquisition and Analysis

  4. DAQ: Latch Electronics • Station 1 MWPC, Station 4 Prop. Tubes and Hodoscope readout • Readout will be based on the Nevis system • Equipment recovered from E866/NuSea and E871/HyperCP (approx. 20k ch. ) • Ansley delay cables • Coincidence Registers (CR) • Encoder board (ENC) and • FIFO cards • Rate will not be a problem—HyperCP had 20k channels and a trigger rate of 75 kHz—deadtime of approx. 3s From Y.C. Chen et al. NIM A 455 (2000) 424 E906/Drell-Yan Review: Data Acquisition and Analysis

  5. DAQ: Multi Hit TDCWBS 2.4.2, 2.4.3 • Station 2 and 3 drift chambers readout via multi-hit TDC (1700 channels plus spares) • Fermilab Prep has sufficient channels of LeCroy 3377 FERA TDC • Dead time of 1.8s + 0.1s/hit • Fermilab PREP recommends testing these modules prior to experiment and has offered to supply test procedures and setup. E906 will supply labor • FERA readout options under exploration • LeCroy 1190 FERA to VME memory interface • Struck SIS3700 32-bit ECL input FIFO (VME module) http://www.struck.de/sis3700.htm • Fermilab DYC3 FERA to RS485 interface http://ppd.fnal.gov/elec/dyc3/dyc3nov.html E906/Drell-Yan Review: Data Acquisition and Analysis

  6. Data Storage • Total data set for 5.2£1018 protons is approximately 4 TB (1 kHz/2£1012 protons £ 1.5 kB event size) • Temporarily store data locally on disk • Background spool data to Feynman Computing Center for long term storage (discussed with Fermilab CD) • Sustained data rate of 125 kB/s (easily within network capacity) E906/Drell-Yan Review: Data Acquisition and Analysis

  7. Analysis SoftwareWBS 2.5.2 • Modification of existing E866 analysis codes • Track recognition, trace back and energy loss algorithms are identical • E866 code already ported to Fermilab computing farms—probably not necessary. • New event decoding routines needed • Computing requirements • Minimal—E866 event analysis rate was approx. 20 ms/event on vintage 1997 HP PA8000 0.18 GHz • Scale to today: Should be able to do real time analysis of all data on small cluster (1 to 4) Linux-based PC’s • We do not anticipate heavy demand on computing resources E906/Drell-Yan Review: Data Acquisition and Analysis

  8. Monte Carlo simulations • GEANT-Based Monte Carlo • Simulation of detector through end of 1st magnet • Used for configuration of hadron absorber within aperture of 1st magnet and particle rates at Station 1 • Extend simulation to entire spectrometer for data analysis (WBS 2.5.1 Abilene, Los Alamos, Argonne) • FastMC • Modified version of E866/E772 “fast” Monte Carlo Code to include E906 geometry. • Only traces muons from Drell-Yan events, and the decays of J/, 0, , 0, 00, D (D-bar)  and K decays. • Magnetic field is simplified, but muon energy loss and multiple scattering are included. • Verified with • E866 rate and resolution comparisons • full GEANT simulation of target, beam dump and absorber E906/Drell-Yan Review: Data Acquisition and Analysis

  9. Conclusions • DAQ • CODA framework from JLab • Latched readout via Nevis electronics • Drift Chambers via LeCroy 3377 TDC • Data Analysis • Code is straight forward modification of E866 Analysis • Data storage requirements are “small” • CPU requirements are small E906/Drell-Yan Review: Data Acquisition and Analysis
