MTM Project Description

The M uon T emperature M onitoring (MTM) part of the MDT DCS is realised by the technical student Hermann Fuchs. Further information can be found in the project draft.

Mission and Scope

• Implement calibration constants
• Implement global MDT chamber coordinates
• Implement the local coordinates of T-Sensors on a chamber
• Create a mapping between T-Sensors and chambers
• Provide an application to:
  • Manage T-Sensor flags
  • Display the Temperature Map of the ATLAS detector
  • Generate summary reports (routines)

What will be provided

• Database repository to store:
  • T-Sensor local coordinates with errors
  • Chamber global (ATLAS) coordinates including rotation matrices
  • Number of T-Sensors on a chamber
  • Calibration constants
  • Working range of T-Sensors
  • Alarm ranges of T-Sensors
  • Wheter an alarm setting is activated or not
  • Flag whether a sensor is in operational mode or not
  • Channel mapping
• Use temperature information from B-field sensors and the alignment system as cross-check
• Tool in PVSS to:
  • Manage the Database repository
  • Upload and download from/to a database
  • Generate Temperature Map of the ATLAS detector
  • Display values
• Technical documentation
• End user documentation
• Project presentation to the Muon community
