1975V, hit threshold 5sigma, time thresholds 4 and 1 sigma Estimate of t0 is 88 and tmax is 661, difference is 573, straight-line intercept is 81.7, to match histogram fit t0, use tz_add 6.4

1975V, resolution ch 20
1975V, resolution vs hit radius

This does not look nearly as good as 50/50 gas mix. Resolution is calculated as fitted drift distance - measured (interpolated) distance, so it is positive when the measured drift time and distance are too small. In this case they are slightly too small at small drift distance but too large at large drift distance. This could be a problem with the gas mix. For reference, plot res vs distance for tz=5,7,and 0.


Resolution for 1975V, hit thresholds 5sigma, timing thresholds 4sigma, 1sigma, pedestal at t(t4sig)-13, tz_add=8, 60/40 Garfield
1975V, resolution ch 20
1975V, resolution vs hit radius

Increasing tz_add to 8ns shifts the resolution up at earlier times but it hardly moves at later times. This would probably have been obvious from the tz=0 data (below) where all the measured drift distances are too large. "Measured" drift distances are actually interpolated from a table of distance calculated for a given gas mix and a range of time measurements. So for this data I should use Garfield tables for a gas mix with faster drift velocity, ie more Ar.

Suspect total flow of 60sccm might be too low for the CO2 MFC. Increase to 80sccm and repeat. Also try Garfield for different gas mixes and look at tmax. Fitted Tmax was 573, edge is from 560 to 600ns. Garfield calcs give 560ns for 60/40, 517ns for 63/37 (and 610ns for 57/43). Not sure the fitted Tmax is accurate enough to pick the gas mix given the slope at the high end of drift time histo.
