Sistemas de calibração

•

O objectivo da calibração é minimizar a diferença entre a
energia da partícula e a energia reconstruída pelo detector

•

Diferentes sistemas monitorizam e calibram diferentes partes
do TileCal

Sistema LASER
•

Pulsos do LASER produzem uma resposta nos
PMTs semelhante aos sinais produzidos por
partículas, com a vantagem que, no caso do
LASER conhecemos com precisão a energia inicial

•

A monitorizaçao do sistema é importante uma vez
que a resolução de energia vai depender bastante
da nossa compreenção da resposta dos PMT

•

Principal objectivo: medir a estabilidade e
linearidade dos 9852 PMTS usados no detector

Then, the light outgoing the LASER box is brought via a 1m
long liquid fiber towards a first beam-splitter. This splitter
dispatches the primary beam toward a bunch of ⇠400 clear
fibres. In order to improve the splitting uniformity, the amount
of light going out of the secondary fibres is tunable via dedicated connectors. Long clear fibers then bring the light from
the counting rooms (where the main system stands) to TileCal
modules. The light finally enters the modules where it is split a
last time before reaching the PMTs.

Conclusões

Thursday, April 19, 12

•

Resultados da estabilidade mostram variações médias
menores que 1%

•

PMTs com maus comportamentos facilmente identificáveis
pelo sistema

•

Para a linearidade ainda não há um bom método para
determinar linearidade em todo o intervalo de energias.

•

Confirmam-se alguns erros sistemáticos introduzidos pelo
sistema óptico ao longo do sistema
