Test setup

Nomenclature of the modules (could be changed)

In order to identify the different modules, the following structure is used:

X-YY-Z

with:

• X = O (outer) or M (middle)
• YY= 01, 02, 03, 04 ...
• Z (only Middle modules) = A, B, C, D

HV control

• General info on the HV GUIs is at HV Help page and Slow Control page
• Running HV control
  • In one terminal:
    • Login in as gep5.
    • type: "su".
    • cd to slowc/LecroyHV_Shimdir .
    • type: ./LecroyHV_Shim_LocalPerl
    • SHould connect to Lecroy crate and give the following message.
  • After LecroyHV_Shim_LocalPerl is running. In another terminal :
    • login as gep5 .
    • cd to slowc .
    • type : ./hvs BOB_TEST
    • Gui window shuold pop up.
  • Presently scintillator Top 1R, Bot 1 and Bot 2 in HV module 13 and chan 0,1,2
  • Calo blocks 1-12 in module 15 for 0-11 and blocks 13-21 in module 14 chan 0-8.

• HV modules were tested by running -2000V across a 5 Megaohm resistor. we measured the voltage out and current out. The histogram below is the percent error in expected current values. The PDF is the charts holding the data taken during the test. Once the HV mosules are back in the TEDF another (more accurate) test may or may not be performed.

Histogram

HV to Match Gain on Calorimeters

Light Leaks sealing

The modules were sealed from light leaks with the use of black tape. To check the sealing, the output of the PMT was measured with an micro-amperimeter, before and after the cover with tape. In top of the pipe, where the PMT is allocated, a gum stopper with slits for the cables, are placed. After many checks it was found that:

• the main light leak come for the joint of the module with the PMT allocation pipe. (Covering it, reduce the current drain from PMT aproximatly in 1-2 orders of magnitude)
• covering the cap of the pipe, doesn't show significant improve.
• covering with tape the side corners of the module, the joint of the top and bottom plastic caps and the union of the pipe with the module reduce the current drain from PMT in 4-5 orders of magnitude.

Outer Modules

For the outer modules, the same PMT was used, with a voltage of 1000 V (max 1900 V) to avoid damage to the PMT.

Middle Modules

For the middle modules, the same PMT was used, with a voltage of 1000 V (max 1900 V) to avoid damage to the PMT.

Trigger

This is the flow chart for the current trigger logic. We are using 3 scintillators; 1 double sided (2PMTs) on top, and 2 separate scintillators on bottom. The difference between threshold voltages is to match gains, this was not done by adjusting HV since presently using HV units with dual outputs for one HV setting.

Trigger Logic Chart

Scheme of cables

Scheme of the HERA-B modules. The orientation is as follows: top view with the rack modules at its left. Each module is indicated by its nomenclature (explained above), the DAQ and HV cable number (in red) and the signal cable (sgn).

Red: the number of the channel (for DAQ and HV label). Sgn: cable signal label.

Cosmic Test

• Initial cosmic test could not have the entire calorimeter with HV since Jack has borrowed the Lecroy HV Crate. Got HV crate back on Feb 12 and started with run 45.
• CODA
  • If computer is rebooted needed to login in as coda and open an terminal and type: msqld
  • As coda start another terminal and type : ./startcoda.
  • This opens Xterm windows for the rcplatform, coda_eb_rc3, coda_er_rc3, rcgui, ssh (connection to the ROC and start ) and the main GUI Run Control.
  • Run Control GUI should be in configuration=V792 and Session=TEDFSBS and EXPID=TEDFSBS.
  • From the Platform menu select "Connect".
    • click on the "Configure" button. Once EB,ER and ROC configured
    • click on the "Download" button. Once EB,ER and ROC downloaded
    • Click on the start run button.
  • If problems first try clicking on the "Reset" button and startover with the "Configure", "Download" sequence.

• Replay data
  • login as gep5
    • type: source setanalyzer.sh
    • cd Desktop/eel122
  • to create root tree:
    • analyzer
    • at analyzer prompt type: decodeEel(Run number)
    • Create root tree in file eeltestrun#.root
    • then quit analyzer with: .q
• Analyzer root tree
  • type: root eeltestrun#.root
• Calo HV on O-01,O-02,O-03,O-04 in ADC channels 0,1,2,3 (CHANGE!!! O-02-> ADC channel 24 after run 51)
• Scint HV on Top left, Top right, Bot 1, Bot 2 in ADC channels 24,21,23,22 for run 33 . After run 33 adc channels 8,5,7,6
• Trigger shown above.

• Voltages till run 54
