GEM Detectors for PREX
Configuration
The GEMs were mounted in an XY XY XY XY configuation on April 14. Our best guess at positions (from Dustin) in the rotated coordinate system are:
Detector | Orientation | z (m) |
Bottom UVA | XY | 1.15 |
Top UVA | XY | 1.15 |
Bottom INFN | XY | 1.4 |
Top INFN | XY | 1.4 |
Chambers are placed orthogonal to the z axis.
HV Adjustment
Individual chamber HV is controlled through a CAEN N1471 NIM module. It can be remotely controled through minicom on ahut. The channel mapping is

Channel | Cable | Detector |
0 | 7 | Top UVA |
1 | 8 | Bottom UVA |
2 | FPP7 | Top INFN |
3 | FPP6 | Bottom INFN |
Gas configuration
The gas is presently a 80-20 Argon/CO2 mix (or 70/30?).
Replaying Data and Software
Replaying data can be done on any of the adaq machines. Simply do
goprex analyzer prex_gem_L.C
and enter in the run number and number of events you would like to analyze. The database for the GEMs is in the $DB_DIR directory. This replay uses the TreeSearch-GEM library for GEM decoding, clustering, and tracking maintained by Ole Hansen.
Replayed files go in the rootfiles directory and are named
prex_gem_L_xxxxx.root

To plot amplitude for each strip :
T->Draw("T.gem.x1.strip.adc:Iteration$");
To look at amplitude ( total energy deposition )
T->Draw("T.gem.x1.hit.adc","T.gem.x1.hit.size>1");
