9. Goals of SR1 Commissioning • Detector Operation & Commissioning of System: • Gain experience with detector operation • Test combined detector supply systems • Development of standalone & combined monitoring tools • Commission and test combined readout and trigger • Commission offline SW chain with real data • The detector performance aspects: • TRT performance with SCT inserted and powered • Test 4 SCT barrels together and operation with TRT • Checks of grounding for SCT and TRT • Test synchronous operation and check for X-talk and noise • Collect cosmics for efficiency, alignment & tracking studies

10. Cables of SCT and TRT SCT module works independently for both readout and power supply.

11. Detector Tests • Detector performance checks • Standalone calibration tests on SCT and TRT after insertion • Noise studies on SCT and TRT before installation in the pit • Physics-mode running with common readout and trigger for SCT and TRT • Synchronous readout of 4 SCT barrels and SCT+TRT • Noise on SCT from TRT + Noise on TRT from SCT • Test with heater system • Feedback of readout cycle to FE noise • Studies with cosmic data currently ongoing • Track Reconstruction • First look at efficiencies in SCT and TRT • Residuals • Detector alignment and test/tuning of different alignment methods • Analysis of data is on-going, so please consider the following slides as preliminary results

12. Software tests with Cosmic data • First cosmics very helpful in commissioning the online and offline SW chain • Combined DAQ and Detector Control System • Use of configuration Database, data handling, mapping, Byte Stream converter, monitoring and event display • Software frame work is different. Offline uses Athena. Online uses Scram. • Data base shifted to COOL which interfaces to Oracle, MySQL and sqlite. • Preliminary results from the cosmic data taking and analysis ….(talk by Y. Nagai) • Run at nominal thresholds (1fC SCT) • Collected 0.5M cosmic triggers • ~70% with good tracks

13. Barrel Configuration in SR1 Test View from outside towards Side A • SCT: • 468 of 2112 modules ~ 1/4 of SCT barrel • Keep detector dry using dry air to thermal enclosure • Readout using 12 Readout Driver modules • TRT • 2x ~6600 Channels ~ 1/8 of TRT barrel • Readout in 9 ROD • 3 scintillators for trigger

14. Alignment using Cosmic tracks Residual without alignment red dots: space poits, orange dots: cluster hits

15. Noise Occupancy at SR1 compatible with production Noise Occupancy at 1fC threshold 1fC Noise run at SR1(Offline Monitor) <NO> = 4.5 x 10-5 x 10-5 Module production (NO specs: < 5 x 10-4) Chip NO. No trigger rate dependence run3065,black,500Hz run3066,red,5kHz run3067,blue,50kHz

16. Noise runs changing threshold • Equivalent Noise Charge • is very sensitive to • the threshold setting. • ENC can be derived • fitting a plot of occupancy vs • threshold using error function. • Offline value matched with • production. Number of chips • ~ 1600 e- ENC at 30C • hybrid temperature • reduces at final operation • temperature by ~ 5e-/C X30C ENC = 1605 electrons

17. Quiet, Stable, Respond properly Hit Count for Noise run Hit Count of Cosmic data run Perfect Gaussian! Nhit (Number of hits /event) Nhit (Number of hits /event) Longest 30kHz noise run of 10M event observed no spike

18. Summary • SCT and TRT barrel tested for 3 months in SR1 with 1/4 of SCT and 1/8 of TRT connected • Gained a lot of experience on detector operation • Noise studies • Have not observed any cross talk between SCT and TRT • Noise on SCT well below specs • No evidence of significant noise increase in SCT with all 4 barrels together and inside TRT during tests • Cosmic runs • Tracked cosmics through both barrels! • First efficiency and noise-hit studies confirm expected detector performance • Alignment work is going on. • Cosmic trigger at the PIT expected to be ~0.03Hz. So SR1 cosmic data are very important. • 2 chips out of 5832 was not functional.

19. Robust pattern recognition even in tripled noise condition. Noise counts tripled in expand mode on the ROD and hit mode on the chip. Very few fake space points V pattern of SPs in pseudo-f-h plane gives track params. Minimize the sum of residulals on the surface of wafers.
