OUTPUT from iteration 1

  1. INPUT ~1.5 M minB events. SMD gains from slopes. 
    Content:
* bullets 2-5 show frequency plots. The point is all noise strips, 
  towers,pre/post tiles are masked out .
* bullets 6-13 show average MIP response averaged over 15 strips
   for every sector & plains.
* bullets 14-16 show comparison of current absolute gains for layer 1,2, and 6.
   Here you see that both ^u & 6V do not follow the pattern.
* bullet 17 shows which strips are served by 6S1 (crate=88) to help make 
  the point that 6S1 may be the cause.
  2. Hit distribution for sector 5
    Left column requires only UxV pattern in SMD, right column also mipT & P > thr & Q > thr & R > thr.
    Top: X vs. Y; middle: accepted U-plain strips; bottom: accepted V-plain strips. ( PS)

  3. Hit distribution for sector 6. ( PS)

  4. Hit distribution for sector 7. The peak @U070 & @V045 is from missing postshower 07RD03. ( PS)

  5. Hit distribution for sector 8. ( PS)

    Absolute current gains for SMD plains

  6. Absolute gain for SMD plain 05U

    * sum reco MIP energy for pair of strips
    * add data from 15 consecutive strips
    * fit Landau, MIP energy [0,5] MeV is on the X-axis.
    The last two plots show distribution of MPV and sigma for Landau fits. Green veritcal line at 1.3 MeV is the goal. ( PS)


    Average MIP response for 05U , blue line at 1.3 MeV is the goal. ( PS)

  7. Absolute gain for SMD plain 05V ( PS)


    Average MIP response for 05V ( PS)

  8. Absolute gain for SMD plain 06U ( PS)


    Average MIP response for 06U ( PS)

  9. Absolute gain for SMD plain 06V ( PS)


    Average MIP response for 06V ( PS)

  10. Absolute gain for SMD plain 07U ( PS)


    Average MIP response for 07U ( PS)

  11. Absolute gain for SMD plain 07V ( PS)


    Average MIP response for 07V ( PS)

  12. Absolute gain for SMD plain 08U ( PS)


    Average MIP response for 08U ( PS)

  13. Absolute gain for SMD plain 08V ( PS)


    Average MIP response for 08V ( PS)

    Comparison of current gains vs. sector & layer

    Spacial position of SMD layers:
    sect 8 sect 7 sect 6 sect 5
    IP Z=0
    Layer 1 U V - U
    Layer 2 V - U V
    Layer 3 - U V -

  14. Overlay of all SMD plains for Layer 1. Pol4 is fitted to each distribution. A common U-shape would describe all 3 sets rather good. ( PS)

  15. All SMD plains for Layer 2. The 6U plain (in red) is more scattered and has different strip dependence (low strip ID's are lower) ( PS)

  16. All SMD plains for Layer 3. The 6V plain (in red) has similar shape but magnitude is ~20% lower ( PS)

    Correlation between strip ID and MAPMT box for sector 6

  17. 6S1(cr=88) serves both 6U & 6V plains, more the lower strip ID's.
    Strip ID is shown on the X-axis, box ID on Y-axis.
