This entry is a followup to: 142464
keyword=Efficiency of R-arm too
While we're at it, we can check the R-arm scint efficiency using
the same procedure as in halog 142464. Note, in my haste I may have
said "efficiency" where I meant "inefficiency". I think I fixed
this, but bottom line is efficiency is ~99% and inefficiency ~1%.
Same analysis (run 2948) for R-arm scint efficiency
Raw Scaler Rates
T1 = 2400 Hz
T2 = 42 Hz (--> naive trigger inefficiency = 1.7%)
Using VDC hits:
Fraction good T1 = 99.5 %
Fraction good T2 = 79 %
Trigger inefficiency = 1.3 %
Single-plane scint. ineffic. = 0.65 %
Using VDC tracks
Fraction good T1 = 99.2 %
Fraction good T2 = 76 %
Trigger inefficiency = 1.4 %
Single-plane scint. ineffic. = 0.7 %
This is an acceptable inefficiency, and the R-arm is much
cleaner than L-arm.
