05 Summary of HV Adjustment Procedure

Summary of process used to change the HV for 2009 in BTOW:HV Files: Version indicates interation/mapping (numeral/letter)

1) 2009_i0.csv      HV/Mapping as set in 2008.  Calibration determined from 2008 data electrons/MIPS.

2) 2009_i0d.csv      Map of SoftId/CellId determined by taking 6 data sets with all voltages set to 300 V, except for SoftId%6=0,1,2,3,4,5,6, successively. (link to Joe's pages)

3) 2009_i1d.csv       HV change determined from 2008 data electrons/MIPS (g1/g2)=(V2/V1)**k, with k=10.6 (determined from LED data).

4) 2009_i2d.csv        Slopes measured for all channels.  Outliers defined as |slope/<slope> -1|>0.2 (deviation of channel slope from average slope over barrel >20%:Approx 114 channels. Outliers corrected according to (s1/s2)=(V1/V2)**k as above.  Hot towers HV reduced by hand. (Approx 10 towers)
