As these studies mature they will hopefully spawn separate pages. For now, the rest of this page is for (1), the FHE trigger study.

Update: added corresponing plot for Tower 3 (runs 700000713-700000723) (JC)
Calorimeter autorange study for PS (T. Ylinen & J. Conrad)
Looking at reprocessed 4-range readout runs 700000700-700000750, provided by T. Reposeur, the performance of the autorange at PS was studied. The feature seen in a ion run at GSI could not be seen in this study. See attached presentation (ppt).
Calorimeter autorange study for SPS (T. Ylinen)
Looking at reprocessed 4-range readout runs 700001789, 700001791, 700001795, 700001799 and 700001801, the performance of the autorange at SPS was studied. The feature seen in a ion run at GSI could not be seen in this study either. See attached presentation (ppt).
FHE study at SPS (J. Conrad & N. Karlsson)
FHE runs taken at 282 GeV (electrons)
1952-1956: FHE thr: 0.5 - 2 GeV x = 201.17, y = 40, z = -47.7
1962-1970: FHE thr: 0.5 -2 GeV x= 603, y = 41, z = 1
The variables used are
CalReq[tow][lay][end] (Trigger request send, TEM diagnostics) (SVAC tuple)
CalXtalFaceSignal[tow][lay][log][end] (Calibrated energy)
The maximum in each layer of CalXtalFaceSignal has been taken
First results for run 700001952:
max_layer(CalXTalFaceSignal) for layer 1 (h2_0) to 8 (h2_8). Note the difference in x scale !!
FHE trigger efficiency (as seen by the TEM diagnostics) for layer 1 - layer 8.

Update 07/31 (JB) : Trigger timing issue
A couple of nights ago we aligned the trigger primitives, so that now TKR, CAL_LO and CAL_HI triggers are aligned with the begginning of the trigger
window that is in our case always opened by the external trigger. We actually aligned the mean of the distribution with the 0 of the trigger
window so as to be sure that our TACK_DELAY values are correct. What we have seen in the first data (runs 820-821) is that the trigger primitive
timing distributions are quite wide, especially the CAL_HI one, so that after the alignment we only have half of the CAL_HI trigger request issued
within the trigger window. To be more efficient in the study of CAL_HI triggers, we could possibly adjust the ext_delay and tack_delay values so as to make sure that all the trigger primitive requests fits well inside the trigger window. This can be done quite easily adjusting the parameters in the BT configuration.
Please some CAL experts, tell me as soon as possible if that's usefull to do or not...
