Issues & Concerns

ISSUES
Availability of flight assembly hardware.
Shortages identified by I&T and being worked with
Subsystems.
TEM/TPS Deliveries
Flight Cables
CONCERNS
Continued support from subsystems for NCR closure.
TPS rework and replacement, availability for future tower
installations.
Need firm delivery dates for third layer ELX boxes
LATTE 5.0 ready Oct. 1 for use in LAT Functional testing due to
start 10/14. E2E tests start 11/1.

well

Issues for single tower tests: offline analysis

Closed

Under investigation
CAL_HI and CAL_LO fired without any crystal hits
Investigation has not started

Most likely due to direct deposition in diodes

CAL_HI trigger fired without high energy deposition

Most likely due to direct deposition in diodes

Discrepancy between TKR occupancy on top GTRCs between DATA and MC in electronics space (generated STRXX)

Most likely due to the differences in particle composition between DATA and MC

Maybe a small fraction could be from CC FIFO buffers filled up in data (this is a feature not a bug)
Discrepancy between Data and MC for TKR dead channel list

Partially disconnected channels are not simulated

Discrepancy calculated and measured event size (generated STR3)

Miscalculations based on wrong assumptions for event multiplicities

Discrepancy between GEM and TriggerAlg for trigger types

Analysis software (TriggeAlg) is not a realistic representation of GEM since it does not address threshold/calibration
differences
Discrepancy in trigger rates for 1,5,10 and 20 KHz runs, underestimated for low rates and overestimated for high rates at a few
% level

Rates from generator were not known to better than a few %, so it is consistent with measurements

overestimation had to do with deadtime since some events did not make into the stream
Compared events that triggered BOTH the TKR and EXT pulse generator running at 20KHz with events that trigger TKR only,
former had lower hit multiplicity (generated STR8)

Reason was that when a trigger window was opened (on raising edge) by EXT the TKR signal was already on for some
time which means some of the hits already died away by the time we looked at. Expect this to be more frequent a higher
rates
Distribution for TKR trigger arrival times was not flat

Needed to select EXT trigger to open the window and then make the same plot and naturally the spike disappears
There is consistently 10-15% more triggers seen during the 5 and 10kHz runs than expected as measured by the exponential fit
to the delta event time register of the GEM.
TKR only triggers is around 85% (TBR) of the time when the muon telescope triggers

Priorities for Data Analysis for 2 towers

We proposed to the Collaboration to analyze these runs first

We are identifying names to be attached to the list below

1/1 baseline
Check trigger types and rates, event sizes , raw and recon distributions for tracks within
one tower and across towers
Monte Carlo comparison

2/1,2/2 baseline and change PDU PS values

First time we have a Power Distribution Unit. Could it be a source of noise? If so, can the
raw distributions tells us?

2/6, 2/7 read TKR from Left or Right only

Cable lengths are different between odd and even numbered towers, but the DAQ takes that
into account. Lets check it by comparing raw and recon distributions from both towers.
Select events that triggered at the center and at the edges

4/1 to 4/4 baseline with pulse generator @ 1,5,10,20 kHz

Muon distributions should not be affected by high rates from pulse generator
Do we understand the deadtime?

B2 nominal settings TEM diagnostics enabled

It is just like 1/1 but with TEM diagnostics ON

B10 CAL HE muon gain, 4 range readout, TEM diagnostics enabled

Calibrate TOT
measure dead strips
Calibrate edges of crystals

B13 CAL HE muon gain, 4 range readout, Zero Suppression disabled

Check pedestals in the CAL
Trend pedestals, muon peaks, log ratios, what else?
