Hi Glen and Dick I've been trying to work out how to assign a systematic uncertainty due to our knowledge of the angle RMS (this excludes the contribution from the algorithm, which is now tiny). Specifically, this is the problem that the measured RMS won't be equal to true RMS because of plane aging and the distance of the beam from the sense plane. Let me present two different methods: 1. Using number of wires fired A definition: n wires fired = mean of H61255 (x) or H61256 (y); this is the number of hits used in the final fit, which is equal to the number of wires fired. The TEC-in dataset gave a nice linear relationship between RMS and number of wires fired. (attach p8 of ms_correct_v1.pdf) For n in the range ~10 to ~14: relationship x-module: 26.6 - 0.90 n_x y-module: 30.5 - 0.68 n_y To first order, our 'deconvolution factors' (c_x,c_y) are only correcting for multiple scattering. For any given characterisation run, we have n_x (n_y) and RMS-x (RMS-y), and we simulate using [RMS-x/c_x] and [RMS-y/c_y]. As n wires fired drops, either because of aging or beam steering, the RMS. We know from the simulation where the RMS actually starts to change. The gradient of this relationship A reminder: we deliberately don't run.... number of wires fired = number used in fit? I looked into estimating the systematic uncertainty due to TEC aging. The problem: the RMS of the angles is related to the number of wires fired. It also depends on the beam tune (i.e. how close to the sense plane the beam was), and the voltage (i.e. where we had them set to deal with oscillations). The c_x and c_y values were tuned using a run that had The 'deconvolution' factors were tuned using the set 75 'end-of-set' profile. In data, the TEC analysis of these characterisation runs found: module: x y n wires fired: 15.0 15.9 RMS of angles: 14.1 21.3 RMS vs n and other plots. Problem: you don't want to say 'oh, the RMS is bigger, I should correct it The best measure we have for RMS vs n comes from controlled conditions i.e. the TEC-in. Work out how much RMS needs correcting. In the past I have plotted up RMS vs For each characterisation run I worked out the total number of M-counts accumulated. M counts and the TEC voltage. For each characteristion run, I then worked out the total number of M-counts accumulated. need a table of charac (can use run numbers from caldb) and #Ms s68 should be corrected to use the G-plane pmu0. set run numbers gen planes Integral-M nx ny (x 10^6) s68 37717-37723 * F need voltages 13.2 14.7 38691-38694 G 3 15.0 16.5 s70 39165-39169 G 13 14.9 16.0 40025-40033 * G 18 14.6 15.7 s71 40318-40320 * G 34 41089-41093 G 43 s72 41335-41340 * G 122 42605-42609 G 1200 (!) s74 43667-43673 * H 5 s75 44374-44381 H 26 45275-45280 * H 31 s76 45310-45314 * H 45 46174-46178 H 51 s80 47239-47242 A 349 (1) US-stops s82 47884-47888 A 424 (!)
