Phase III. Performance at high rate

  • Perform luminosity scan
  • Beam and detector conditions:
- Beam flux 2. - 5. x 10^7 photons/sec.
- Exclude CDC/FDC/TOF at high rate if detectors are not ready (calibrate baselines if needed)
(repeat tests when sub-detectors are ready)
  • Study L1 rate for various trigger thresholds
- Trigger types: FCAL & BCAL (& ST), TAGH & ST, (FCAL, BCAL)
- Ajust trigger parameters (busy thresholds, TS trigger inhibit thresholds)
- Check performance of electronics modules at high rate
(reveal electronics problems and limiting factors: data transmission rate, etc.)
- Study L1 trigger rate limitations
  • Take data for several thresholds at different luminosity (check efficiency)
