Commissioning Goals

  • Integrate DIRC readout with general Hall D DAQ and online/offline monitoring
  • 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 Tasks and Milestones

  • 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

Simulation studies for commissioning

Requirements

  • Final geometry in CCDB with appropriate run number
  • Define JANA calibration variation for CCDB specific to DIRC(?)
  • LUT algorithm implemented as factor in DIRC sim-recon library

Data Samples

  • bggen sample (1M events) for comparison of rates and occupancies with data
  • single track pion and kaon samples in kinematic bins for comparison with data
