Reconstruction in Athena

All the ntuples with useful data are normally reconstructed and stored on CASTOR immediately after data taking. But if you want to run reconstruction yourself or to play with event display, follow the instructions given at TileMobiDAQReconstruction page. For Atlantis reconstruction details see https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Sandbox/CosmicPulseShapeDisplayAtlantis?template=viewprint

TileCal timing corrections

TileCal timing corrections are currently not in the calibration database but are available for different run ranges as data files, which have to be copied to the reconstruction directory by hand. A list of valid timing corrections can be found here. The corresponding Tile2007.tdlas and Tile2007.tclas files can be found in the respective subdirectories here:
/afs/cern.ch/user/n/ngollub/public/timing

In addition the TileConditions package needs to be told to use calibration files with the "Tile2007" prefix in the reconstruction. This is done by adding the following two lines at the end of the RecExCommission_topOptions.py:

from TileConditions.TileConditionsConf import TileInfoLoader
TileInfoLoader.CalibFilePrefix = "Tile2007"
(The default in RecExCommission jobOptions is to use calibration files with the prefix "TileMobi", but no such files exist and thus defaults are loaded.) In order to verify which files are really loaded during running, one could also add
TileInfoLoader.OutputLevel = DEBUG
Looking for "Tile2007" in the log file should result in a lot of WARNINGs for non-existing Tile2007.* files, but the files Tile2007.tclas, Tile2007.tdlas and Tile2007.tcfib should be found and loaded. The WARNINGs about the non-existence of the other files can be safely ignored.

Towering Mapping in the Cosmic Trigger Boards

For M5 week, the cosmic boards have the following tower mapping.

For top cosmics regions the module ordering is 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 11, 12, 21, 22.
For bottom cosmics regions the module ordering is 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 43, 44, 53, 54.

During M5 the LBA cosmic boards were connected to the Muon Output.

Board Scaler 0 Scaler 1 Scaler 2 Scaler 3 Scaler 4 Scaler 5 Scaler 6 Scaler 7
LBA T1 - T7 T6 T5 T4 T3 T2
LBC T1 T8 T7 T5 T4 T3 T2 T1
EBC T1 - - T6 T5 T4 T3 T2

Where 'T' indicates the tower number within the module. There are eight scalers in the cosmic board per module. The first module on the board has scaler numbers 0-8, the second module numbers 8-15, etc.

Note: The mapping was incorrect for some time. The following reflects the mapping previous to M5 (Oct 23th, 2007) The towering mapping the cosmic trigger boards should be the same for all regions but bottom LBA and top EBC has a slightly different mapping for reasons that are still under investigation. The current mapping for top/bottom EBA and LBA and top EBC is listed as following. The mapping of LBC and EBC has not yet been verified.

For top cosmics regions the module ordering is 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 11, 12, 21, 22.
For bottom cosmics regions the module ordering is 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 43, 44, 53, 54.

Board Scaler 0 Scaler 1 Scaler 2 Scaler 3 Scaler 4 Scaler 5 Scaler 6 Scaler 7
Top EBA T1 - - T6 T5 T4 T3 T2
Bottom EBA T1 - - T6 T5 T4 T3 T2
Top LBA T1 T8 T7 T6 T5 T4 T3 T2
Bottom LBA T7 (scaler 8) T6 T5 T4 T3 T2 T1 T8 (scaler 15)
Top EBC (module 13) T1 T6 T5 T4 T3 - - T2
Top EBC - T6 T5 T4 T3 T2 T1 -

Where 'T' indicates the tower number within the module. There are eight scalers in the cosmic board per module. The first module on the board has scaler numbers 0-8, the second module numbers 8-15, etc. In bottom LBA, tower 7 of LBA45 will appear on scaler 8 which should be LBA46 tower 1 for example. In the last module LBA54, tower 7 and 8 are missing.

M3 Week

During M3 were used different triggers paired with the TileCal board trigger. TileCal trigger from EBA+LBA+LBC: 11-22 & 43-54 (8 towers in each barrel and 6 towers in each extended barrel: 8*12*4+6*12*2 = 528 towers able to give triggers) ;

Cosmic Runs in 2005

Ntuples ready for analysis

  • You can get reconstructed root files for runs on /castor/cern.ch/user/t/tilebeam/cosmics/jun05 and july05. These were made using pmt ordering and not channel ordering, so the data arrays are named A13, C45 and so on. No correction was made for the double or triple-gain runs, so you should see double or triple the energy. Here's a list of runs, with info taken from http://pcata007.cern.ch:8080/mobidaq/.

    Summary of July 2005 Expert Week

    LVPS

    Three working finger power supply assemblies were used on bottom modules (LBA49, 50, 52) over several days pedestals, CIS, cosmics. The LVPS assembly for LBA51 failed and was replaced by an external supply. The reasons for the failure are being investigated.

    Installation of LVPS assemblies in fingers requires special care to avoid restricting cooling.

    Several LVPS assemblies passed QC at Prevessin but failed in UX15. Again, the reasons are being investigated. Future tests in Prevessin should be with long cables to include capacitance, delays, etc.

    On LBA50, the +15 V MB brick tripped at 9:49PM on Sat. 30.07.05 and was restarted successfully at 10:41PM on 31.07.05. This voltage is only used for charge injection. Earlier trips like this appeared to be associated with application of HV but this one was not associated with HV activity. The -15V HV brick on LBA50 went out of regulation from 14:33 to 18:18 on 29.7.05.

    Electronics noise from pedestal run (Run 2008) a. Module High gain Low gain Dead ch#[0] LVPS b. A49 1.47 0.63 - new c. A50 1.50 0.63 - new d. A51 1.17 0.48 8 (low?) old e. A52 (HV off) 1.43 0.65 - new w cores f. C17 1.23 0.54 25 old g. C18 1.24 0.51 - old h. C19 1.14 0.51 - old i. C20 1.15 0.51 - old

    ROD

    One ROD successfully tested to work in the LBC partition together with a TBM. Stand-alone mode with injected fake data no errors. Successfully integrated ROD in the online software 01-02-00. Combined partition to start both MobiDAQ and ROD segments. Many changes applied to the DSP code in order to get readable output data for the offline.

    Could not upgrade monitoring applications on time for cosmic runs. Linkage errors with one of the fibres from the FE (FragId 0x130). Combined event building problems (smp kernel or network failure + wrong BCID because of fragment loss in fibre 0x130). Data from the last run corrupted since HV trip.

    Front-End Electronics

    C17 Pulse shape of channel 26 (25 counting from 0) low gain problem: all zeroes, both for monoCIS and pedestals. High gain looks fine. Likely a hardware problem in a digitizer?

    HV

    Constant overcurrent tripped state on 1 module (52A) Wild current fluctuations on 1 module (50A) o Verified with 2 different LV supplies (old+new) One trip at end (49A) after 3 days

    DAQ

    bug found in DAQ software, resulting in event number always zero for some of the data.

    HLT

    first use of event filter in PC

    Cooling

    Heater failed in cooling unit on C-side, replaced with temporary heater, part on order (end August). System ran stably throughout the data taking.

    DCS

    Difficult to recover from power cut / reset DCS to racks Need better on-line monitoring of LV, HV a. LVPS assembly monitoring is good but not integrated with external LV supplies, HV, Temperatures, or run data base b. Work needed on sense-line readout for MB voltages

    Offline

    Need to store HV values read from drawer during run into database
