Commissioning Goals
- Integrate DIRC readout with general Hall D DAQ and online/offline monitoring
- Confirm cabling through HV/mask checks with LED system
- Calibrate per-pixel timing offset of MAPMTs using LED system
- Determine geometric alignment parameters (position and angle offsets) for optical components
- Implement reconstruction algorithm and compare data/MC: # detected photons, Cherenkov angle resolution
Commissioning Observables
- "Ring" images for tracks with fixed kinematics
- Number of detected photons/track
- Timing difference between measured - expected
- Single photon resolution (SPR) per pixel
Commissioning Tasks and Milestones
- Develop EVIO parser and Translation Table
- Develop scripts for LED timing offset calibration
- Calibration document with expected tables for CCDB
Commissioning Timeline
- July 16-30: Integration of DIRC crate with DAQ and initial test of readout with standalone MAPMT module (Ben, Sergey, Sasha)
- August-October
- Implementation of DAQ decoder for SSP data format in sim-recon to create low level hit objects (David)
- Implementation of Translation Table in CCDB to orient (FPGA, channel ID) mapping from readout into physical pixel coordinates (X, Y) position along readout window (David, Justin, Bill)
- Online and offline monitoring plugins to monitor occupancies and timing distributions (TBD)
- LED occupancy and timing calibration (Yunjie)
- Physics trigger occupancies and timing - possibly use TOF/FCAL as filter for tracks in different regions (TBD)
- Include DIRC hit patterns in event display?
- October 29 - November 18 (3-week install period):
- Verify cabling and translation table with LED data (unique patterns of HV on/off)
- Initial time offset calibrations with LED data
- HV and threshold scans with LED data
- November 19 - December 19 (commissioning with beam):
- TBD
Datasets to acquire with integrated DAQ
HV and threshold scans
- Similar set of HV, MAROC gain, and threshold settings as laser setup for comparison with final implementation
- Validate MAPMT characterization with both LED calibration and beam data
Intensity scans
- Evaluate rate dependence and backgrounds for both high and low luminosity
- Scans of fixed amorphous radiator and varied current from 50 - 300 nA
