Prototype at 2100V, 50/50 Ar/CO2

Tilted prototype

Trigger signals

Scint and coinc logic signals, scope triggered on coinc (magenta)

Same, with TI busy signal (green)

Same, different timebase

Histograms of threshold-crossing bins in central bank of 16 straws, different thresholds (ignore the histo titles)

ADC-value=150 crossing (~approx ped + 5sigma)

3.5sigma crossing (approx ADC value 112 = (55 + 3x16.5))

ADC-value=100 crossing

Histograms of ADC value=100 threshold-crossing bins in individual straws (search started at bin 160)

ADC-value=100 crossing

Same data after more normal analysis (Search forward to find pedestal+5sigma crossing, then backwards to find 4sigma and then 1sigma crossings)

5sigma crossing

4sigma crossing

1sigma crossing

extrapolation to local pedestal crossing

drift time (ns)

ADC=100 crossing bins plotted for all straws against one particular straw
