12 TC Monte Carlo Simulation: Attenuation Length Λeff The effective attenuation length Λeff combines the bulk Λband the surface reflection loss. 1/Λeff = 1/(Λb <cos Θ>) + 1/ΛR2 ΛR2= a/(ε<tan Θ>) where a is the bar size and ε the surface loss coeffcient Λeff depends on each bar through ε Measured and fed into the simulation 12

26 Track TC Match and Propagation time Need to correct for track propagation delay to precision of 50 ps track length to 1.5 cm Trajectory known from target plane through spectrometer to very good precision Projection to TIC complicated by material after spectrometer causing scattering, energy loss Currently, project to fixed φ of timing counter with using propagation of Kalman state vector No correction for mismatch with reconstructed position in timing counter Typical propagation distance is of order 1 m Systematic uncertainties in dr, dz seen, of order 1 cm Fully corrected photon positron timing difference currently at level of 150 ps in RD signal with photon energy above 40 MeV 26
27 Using DCH to Study Timing Counter Use DCH trigger data Require 4 hits in 5 contiguous chambers Run standard analysis, positron selection criteria Measure probability of having a TIC hit Loose matching criteria Tighter position match, timing criteria 27
28 TICZ readout tests After installation, test with pass thru cosmics All analog channels (8 APD in one ch.) show good signals! US TICZ digital readout working! DS TICZ performing poorly! Not used Digital electronics upgraded for 2010 run Commissioning on going US TICZ fiber # 28
29 Conclusions TC bar performance optimization requires careful calibration of many parameters All parameters are calibrated using Michel e+ or ad hoc signals (Cosmic rays,boron,dalitz) Fine tuning of the algorithm could improve performances TC fibre performance limited by malfunctioning digital electronics, adequate otherwise Reliable TC fibre will improve also TC bar calibration with precise z coordinate Commissioning detector for 2010 is ongoing 29
