Calibration & Monitoring Tasks • Mapping Database • Pedestal monitoring continuous • LED monitoring • Electronics calibration • Slow Control calibration @ run start • SiPM Gain calibration • MIP calibration long term
I. Mapping !! z ≠ # cassette • slot fe chip chan x y z • slot: address of VME card, # of slot (5 cards) • fe: VME channel input 1-8 (or 0-7?) • chip: VFE-boards 1-12 (or 0-11?) 1728 • chan: multiplexed channel 1-18 (or 0-17?) • #SIPM x y #cassette • #cassette z (38 entries)
II. Pedestal monitoring • All times are calculated for 100Hz DAQ • 100 pedestal events every 1000 beam events • continuously during all type data taking • physics mode • 1/10 data volume • time: 1 sec • Check pedestals during/outside spills to compare LED monitoring with beam data • Pedestals in calibration mode during SiPM gain calibration
III. LED monitoring • Task: check stability of MIP calibration • LED events in between spills (~3 sec time) • possible only in physics mode (signal ~ 1 MIP) see Erikas talk • 1000 events every 3-5 minutes (?) + 100 pedestal • 3-5% of data volume • 5-8% dead time • Readout also PIN diodes 3/38 VFE boards ~ 8% of total data
IV. Electronics calibration • Direct charge injection in calibration and physics mode @ the beginning of run • frequency: beginning of run • # events : 1x103 • Time: 2 min
V. Slow Control calibration • Calculate calibration factor for Temperature & Voltage variation one measurement / min (?) synchronization of SC to data in LCIO / in DB average various SC measurement ?
VI. SiPM Gain calibration • 1000 low LED flash events + 100 pedestal events @ beginning of run • calibration mode • # events: 1x105 • time: 20 min • ~1% statistical error • Apply gain variation correction (?) crosscheck to Slow Control & LED corrections
VII. MIP calibration Calculate MIP calibration factor weekly/monthly calibration mode - hadron beam + brick or broad muon beam: # events: 5x6 105 , time: 8-10 h <5% statistical error - cosmics # events: 1x105/tile ~ 4x107 , time 4-5 days ~1% statistical error
Open questions • Trigger information→ stored in LCIO header? • Distinction between data taken in calibration or physics mode → flag in LCIO header? • Synchronization of Slow Control data? • Next steps fix calibration naming scheme fix collections and modules name scheme Start software development !!!
