Calibration motivation

• Reconstruction of events with STT at COSY-TOF▫ Precise reconstruction of vertices▫ Reducing background for better resolution▫ Event analysis based on the vertices reconstruction of the charged

final state particles (p, K, Λ p, π)▫ Precise calibration needed

• Different effects should be considered▫ Multiple hits removal▫ Signal width cut▫ Electronics offset correction▫ Straw layers position correction

• pp elastic events measured in Fall 2012 at pbeam=2.95 GeV/c are analyzed for the calibration of the STT

raw TDC spectrum for 5.106 hits in the 2704 single straw tubes

TDC spectrum after removing multiple hits

Using the common-stop readout of the TDCs, higher values correspond to shorter drift times

Calibration

• Signal width cut▫ Some noisy hits remain

after removing multiple hits

▫ STT electronics readout has a 5ns signal width limit between leading and following trailing edge

▫ Only noise can produce width lower than 5ns

▫ Record leading edge time without trailing edge time

▫ The width spectrum was cut for less than 5ns 10

• Electronics offset correction

▫ Different readout modules

▫ Correction with fit method▫ Error function was fitted to

the leading edge of TDC spectrum for each straw

Drift time

• Corrected drift time spectra▫ Maximum drift time 145

ns

▫ Same drift time spectrum within each double layer

▫ Irregular shape and tail part in first 4double layers

▫ Improper recognition of first hits due to low sensitivity of their electronics

▫ Events mixing and tail pile-up

Self-calibrating method

• Main aim: determination of the correlation between the drift time and the isochrone radius

• Isochrone radius was calculated for each bins of drift time (homogeneous illumination assumption in whole straw)

TDC time vs isochrone radius for double layer-13

Distance to track calibration method

• Track reconstruction with averaged R-T curve from self-calibrating method

• Track parameters were analyzed to find the most probable correlation between TDC time and isochrone radius (track to wire distance)

STT resolution• In Ideal case the R-T curve should be same for all straws• The averaged R-T curve from 3 groups of double layers was used for

all straws• Residual=|d| – r d: track to wire distance, r: isochrone radius

• Spatial resolution: width of the gaussian+pol4 fit functions to the residual distribution as a function of TDC time

• Average resolution at 0.25 cm over all double layers is 142 ± 8 µm

Summary

• Signal width cut is effective to clean noisy channels

• Electronics offset correction was applied well to reduce the systematic error from different electronics modules

• For the first time the same Self calibrating R-T curve was used for track reconstruction within each double layer

• Improved Average spatial resolution 142 ±8 µm at 0.25 cm over all double layers was found compare to the last calibration with same beam momentum (170 ±11 µm) by taking an average R-T curve

• The new calibration improvement is studying with comparison of pp elastic parameters (i.e. vertex resolution) to the former work.
