Det_efficiency

Aug. 14, 2014

IST sensor efficiency
(empty sensors are excluded, bad ones are not rejected)

Excluded ladder 7-14 without hit information.
Efficiency definition: Number of IST associated hits/Number of PXL track projections

Residual & fNhit cuts has been varied to estimate systemically an error range:

Ist total efficiency  = 80.74%+-0.65%+-3.43%

PXL Sensor efficiency in Day 187

PXL efficiency versus day number (Run14)
Day 97/117 data points are from FullField cosmic-ray data with low statistics.

Day 39    PXL total efficiency  97.2% +-0.5%
Day 97    PXL 
total efficiency  93.8% +-1.2%
Day 117  PXL 
total efficiency  96.5% +-0.9%
Day 187  PXL 
total efficiency  90.8% +-0.4%

QA-Plots : Day 187 ZF data
(By Requiring three pixel hits in straight line tracking and looking at the relative residual of a fourth one)

Bad Sensor removed according to PXLQA plots
