pp400 (2005)

pp400 (actually 410 GeV) data was collected on days 153 and 154 in early June 2005.

The attached file is a before and after calibration comparion of DCAs.

First look

When I plot dca vs. zdce+zdcw, pp400 looks identical to pp200! Plotting dca vs. bbce+bbcw (which is the scaler quantity used for correcting pp200 data), shows that there is a difference! I was nearly fooled. In the following plots, pp200 are black points, while pp400 are red.

Trial one: 30% increase in SC

I tried increasing SC scaling by 30% from standard pp200 (1.0e-8 => 1.3e-8) while holding the GL steady. The result is some remaining undercorrection: DCAs of about -300 microns at bbcsum=1.5e5, and ~0 at bbcsum=4.0e5. Conclusion is that this is pretty good, but we can do a little better. It appears to me that the offset needs to be decreased (actually, a linear fit to the uncorrected plots suggested this too), and the scaling also by just a little bit.

The attached plot shows the DCAs vs. bbce+bbcw for no correction (red), standard pp200 correction (blue), and the 30% trial correction (magenta).

GridLeak plots

Looking at the residuals (GridLeak plots), I can see that things are similar to pp200, witth what appears to be an offset in GridLeak distortion at all z (our current understanding of the distortion has it go to zero at the ground planes, |z| = 208 cm). I include here three plots of GridLeak distortion residuals from tracks for high luminosity pp400 data (runs 6154024-6154031, bbce+bbcw > 2e5):

GL_pp400_NONE_High
GridLeak plot for pp400 data with no correction, high luminosities
GL_pp400_STD_High
GridLeak plot for pp400 data with standard pp200 corrections, high luminosities
GL_pp400_X30_High
GridLeak plot for pp400 data with 30% above standard pp200 corrections, high luminosities
We can see here that standard pp200 corrections are insufficient, but the 30% increased corrections aren't far off.
