Another MP1 Uniformity Run • Sudden end: the lab computer died for unknown reasons • Hit-map: higher response closer to the HV (smaller gap?) • Large variation: ± 50% (±20% on older runs, on used lines) • Similar shape for the 97 hourly hit-maps (inside errors): 1.7·106hit/20ch 87k hit/ch in 97h ~900 hit/ch·h → <Δ>~±3% UM PPS Activities
Uniformity Run in Time • In 97 hours the rate decreases by a factor ~2.5, with an initial jump in the first hour (new lines)! • Same behavior is found for every channel points to a single line property (SnO2 degradation) UM PPS Activities
Uniformity Channel Correction • Hit-map channel correction factor: important to verify the stability of these correction over the 97h of the run UM PPS Activities
Uniformity Channel Correction (2) • Correction spread estimate of the error on them: 2-8% (worse for channels with lower corrections) UM PPS Activities

A Quick Calculation Theory: σ2data= σ2intrinsic+ σ2beam σbeam= 1.1 mm (GEANT) σBW ~ 1.4 mm (FWHM/2.35) • σintrinsic = 866 μm Best expectation ~300 μm • The width of the measured distribution could be larger because of: • Ionization starts inside the gas O(100 μm) larger beam spread • Systematic: misalignment slit-panel line, correction, fit function, ... • The simulation could underestimate the spread because of • Extra material after glass (dielectric and/or electrode) • Glass composition • Photon contribution (only betas simulated) UM PPS Activities
Conclusions • Positive impression on February 6 DoE lab tour (15’): very short introduction + two experiences and one animation • A lot of preparation work in the lab: • Panel geometry much more clear • New cabinet and EMI shield ready • Work on filling and testing our gas bottles • Wiener readout code now running in our dedicated lab laptop • The uniformity run on new lines shows a severe degradation of the rate as a function of time and a large channel by channel variation (total ± 50%), but quite stable in time • The position scan runs fitted with a Breit-Wigner (GEANT simulation best fit) seems to be better than Gaussian. To estimate the intrinsic resolution we need to understand the limitations of the simulation and the systematic errors involved in our data taking UM PPS Activities
