EMTiming Calibration Validation


Introduction
Runs 201351 - 203799
Runs 203819 - 206989
Runs 207079 - 210008
Runs 210012 - 212133
Channel 0 11 9 status


Introduction

  The validation sample is provided by the offline calibration validation group
in the form
of Standard Ntuple. We run a module that selects good electrons
above certain Et
well above the threshold.
   For EMTiming system we take electrons from W sample, and plot time of arrival
for CEM and PEM.  The distributions should be centered at zero with RMS ~1.6 ns.

If there are two electrons in the system that are consistent with Z mass- then the time
of arrival difference is plotted. The result should be centered at zero with the resolution
approximately ~1 ns. For PEM one of the electrons can be from central detector, so
the mean position might not be zero if there is a small offset for both systems.

  The histograms for CHA,  PHA, and WHA will be added in due time. We are planning
to use muons from the W or J/Psi sample.

Below are the links to the plots for various run ranges:

Run Range: 201351 - 203799

All distributions look normal, no gross mis-calibration is detected

Run Range: 203819 - 206989

All distributions look normal, no gross mis-calibration is detected. There is a shift in the mean distribution
for CEM, but it will be taken out by the Run-by-Run corrections.

Run Range: 207079 - 210008

All distributions look normal, no gross mis-calibration is detected. There is a shift in the mean distribution
for CEM, but it will be taken out by the Run-by-Run corrections.

Run Range: 210012 - 212133

All distributions look normal, no gross mis-calibration is detected. There is a shift in the mean distribution
for CEM, but it will be taken out by the Run-by-Run corrections.


Channel 0 11 9 status
Looks like between run 209149-209261 CEM channel 0 11 9 went bad.
 here is the efficiency curve  for the channel over ALL runs. It looks like One of the two time lines is broken.
 here is the efficiency curve for the channel over only bad runs. The turn on is much cleaner now.
To answer the question which line is broken I disable each pmt at a time and make the efficiency curve.
pmt1 curve
pmt2 curve
Looks like  first line is completely broken, which mean either we will disconnect or fix it.  Two
different tables will be made for CEM to reflect the change in the status of this channel.
