keyword=BB-LHRS Timing Information and setup (T6)
Prior to the final setup this morning, I made sure the delays on T3 and
T1 were zeroed. I then used the edtmsetup script as described in Halog
entry # 348767
Times to get from target to point at which EDTM is injected

Time difference between proton and electron signals to EDTM
injection point:
0.875 0.450 0.404 0.300 GeV/c
-----------------------------------------------
B-L = 96 ns 106 ns 109 ns 117 ns
The edtm configuration for this is set to
./edtmsetup 0 92 232
The T6 coincidence is formed with an overlap between T3 and the E-plane
singles trigger (formerly T6). The electron (T3) was chosen to carry
the T6 time. For this trigger setup, the scripts t1_delay and t3_delay
are not used. Instead I used old fashioned cable delay and a LeCroy
dual gate generator model 222.
I took a copy of T3 and E-plane singles that were relatively undelayed
from where they originate at the weldment. The timing difference at
this point has the E-plane trigger generation 136 ns before the T3
trigger reaches the weldment and is massaged. I used the LeCroy 222 to
delay a copy of T6 by 140 ns. I then delayed the un-delayed copy of T3
by 66 ns to form T6 coincidence. T3 comes inside the E-plane window
about 50 ns after the E-plane trigger opens.
All these numbers are based on the slowest proton in BigBite
(300 MeV/c). The time difference between slowest and fastest proton in
BigBite is only 21 ns. Hence between 300 MeV/c and 875 MeV/c the
E-plane trigger window will slip forward by 21 ns preserving the
coincidence time setup for all BigBite momenta.
At the point the coincidence is formed, the E-plane trigger width is
set to about 140 ns (coincidence window). The delayed T3 copy is set
to be about 50-60 ns wide.
Not that it matters for the N-Delta settings, but T5 comes before T6 at
the Trigger supervisor by 18 ns. However a real T5 does not exist for
the BigBite elastic (e,e'p) settings.
