Purpose: eliminating beam trips from DAQ data. • What are beam trips? • Why must they be eliminated? • How can they be eliminated? • Must know what Livetime is in order to answer questions.
Livetime? • What is Livetime? • How is it determined? • Livetime is the period of time that data can be acuired in the experiment. • It is determined using two scalers, both are guided by a clock. • One is free running, the other is DAQ live-time gated. • Free running scaler – Live1. • The live-time gated scaler – Live2.
Method Used • Used data from Primex DB database • Ratio of Live1 and Live2 from 1st db gives livetime for each event. Used distributions of • Live1/Live2=Livetime • Stop – Start for each interval in the fit to determine beam trip criteria
LIVETIME TRIP FEATURE • When the intensity of the beam drops the live-time rises. • When the live time drops the beam intensity rises.
1D DISTRIBUTIONS • This is an example of fractional livetime distribution • This is an example of difference of stop event start event distribution
FITS • Guass fit for Livetime. • Guass fit for Stop/Start Difference.
BEFORE – AFTER COMPARISON • Trips occurring • No trips
Summary • Study helped determine • the correct beam position • at HyCal • Shows sensitivity to • beam intensity changes
