- Alex showed a presentation (linked above) about his studies of the FDC efficiency and resolution using higher level (DFDCHit) objects for runs with magnetic field. For these studies he applied some requirements for the track quality, like p>0.4GeV and more than 4 hits per package. The efficiencies look similar to the one with straight tracks, while the resolutions are worse. The cathode resolutions after taking out the magnetic field effects are about 300-350 microns. The FDC timing information is not used, so the residual distributions in direction perpendicular to the wires are almost flat.
+
- Alex continued his presentation (linked above) from the last meeting now showing the Y-residuals (along wire) as a function of the X-residuals (first plot), both measured w.r.t. avalanche (hit) position. Since the avalanche is always on the wire, the X-residuals represents the drift distance and the Y-residual the deflection of the drifting electron due to the magnetic field. The linear correlation (third plot) means that the deflection is simply proportional to the drift distance, with a slope also proportional to the magnetic field. Garfield simulations confirm this. The Y-residuals are about 200 microns (second plot).
  
- Lubomir presented plots showing drop (of about 30-40%) of the average charge with the drift time, probably due to some contamination. Comparison of the results for the runs since 2014 (first plot) doesn't show deterioration in the FDC performance. Correspondingly, the efficiencies (second plot) for drift distances > 4 mm drop sharply down to ~50% at 5 mm, however it corresponds to about 5% average drop. As we measured the Oxygen contamination to be < 50ppm, there must be something else in the gas.

- Alex also worked on the FDC timing both from fADC125s and TDCs(next two plots). The drift time offset calibration has to be done for each run, since it may move.

- Lubomir is working with the GENFIT tracking package to study the FDC performance in magnetic field. The package uses Kalman fitter but also combined with the Deterministic Annealing Filter (DAF) that assigns  weights to the hits and thus can solve left/right ambiguity. The package is using the Event Viewer Environment (Eve) for ROOT that offers good control over the fitting track by track (see pictures attached above).  Lubomir is working so far with straight tracks but will continue with curved ones.

The plan is to build a chamber similar to the spare FDC package used for the TRD prototyping but with only 24x12 cm active area. The main difference is that we will apply negative HV to the upstream cathode that will be made out of thin aluminized Kapton.

Participants: Sean (NU),Curtis, Naomi, Mike (CMU) Luke, Alexander A., Simon, Sergey, and Lubomir (JLab).

CDC

- Naomi is working on the gain calibration, Mike on the straw deformation effects and corresponding errors.

FDC

- Alex continued his presentation (linked above) from the last meeting now showing the Y-residuals (along wire) as a function of the X-residuals (first plot), both measured w.r.t. avalanche (hit) position. Since the avalanche is always on the wire, the X-residuals represents the drift distance and the Y-residual the deflection of the drifting electron due to the magnetic field. The linear correlation (third plot) means that the deflection is simply proportional to the drift distance, with a slope also proportional to the magnetic field. Garfield simulations confirm this. The Y-residuals are about 200 microns (second plot).

- Alex also worked on the FDC timing both from fADC125s and TDCs(next two plots). The drift time offset calibration has to be done for each run, since it may move.

- Lubomir is working with the GENFIT tracking package to study the FDC performance in magnetic field. The package uses Kalman fitter but also combined with the Deterministic Annealing Filter (DAF) that assigns weights to the hits and thus can solve left/right ambiguity. The package is using the Event Viewer Environment (Eve) for ROOT that offers good control over the fitting track by track (see pictures attached above). Lubomir is working so far with straight tracks but will continue with curved ones.

Other

- There was a meeting (see link) with the detector group (Drew Weisenberger and Brian Cross) for building a TRD prototype. The plan is to build a chamber similar to the spare FDC package used for the TRD prototyping but with only 24x12 cm active area. The main difference is that we will apply negative HV to the upstream cathode that will be made out of thin aluminized Kapton.
