sPHENIX tracking discussion

["Huang, Jin" <jhuang AT bnl.gov>]

Hi everyone,

Quick reminder that we will use the beginning of the daily tracking meeting at 11AM to discuss analysis of TPC commissioning. https://indico.bnl.gov/event/24184/ 

In particular, the first beam data with Isobutane gas was collected Tue with the MIP-efficient HV work point determined from the Monday cosmic data [TPC Elog 553]. GEM gain measured with this dataset will allow us to build the HV divider resisters, balance the gain, then proceed towards full beam luminosity operation 

Cheers

Jin

Subject: Special TPC meeting on cosmic data review, Tue July 30 9:30AM.

 

Hi Everyone

As just discussed in shift change meeting, we will have a special TPC meeting at  Tue July 30 9:30AM tomorrow. Indico and zoom at https://indico.bnl.gov/event/24338/ 

TPC HV is being ramped for the first time after the new Isobutane gas mixture was circulated since Sat. We aim to collect sufficient cosmic data to establish the new GEM gain and a MIP-efficient HV work point priory to operate with collisions in the next steps. 

• Detailed plan are https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTvzKNq1u7-TICoJrPTI_wF9h-fa18lqR5c_Iqic3kKSp-eU5tfohVNuCYMfKwxTFoVihQngkbMELF6/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000 
• Live action at https://chat.sdcc.bnl.gov/sphenix/channels/tpc-electronics 

There could be many changes of the plan depending on factors like the detector response, and power stability etc. So, please stay tuned. 

Cheers

Jin
