Glimpse of relative calibration of BSMDE from 2008 d+Au data

Input: 1M dAu minb events from runs: 8335112+8336019

Method : fit slopes to individual strips, as discussed 01) raw spectra

Fig 1

Examples of raw pedestal corrected spectra for first 9 strips, 1M dAu events

Fig 2

Detailed view on first 500 strips. X=stripID for all plots.

1. Y=mean of the gauss fit to pedestal residuum, in ADC channels, error=sigma of the gauss.
2. Y=integral of over 20 ADC channels starting from ped+5*sig. Raw spectra,
3. Y=gain defined as "-slope" from the exponential fit over ADC range  20-40  channels, errors from expo fit. Blue line is constant fit to gains.

Fig 3

BSMDE strips cover the whole barrel and eta-phi representation is better suited to present 18K strips in one plot.

1. Mapping of BSMDE-softID (Z-axis) in to eta-phi space. Eta bin 0 is eta=-1.0, eta bin 299 is eta=+1.0. Phi bin 0 starts at 12:30 and advances as phi angle. 
2. gains for majority of 18K BSMDE strips. White means no data or discarded by rudimentary QA of peds, yields or slope.

For reference spectra from 1M pp events from ~12 EmcCheck runs from days 47-51. It proves I did it and it was naive on my side to expect 1M pp events is enough.

More pp events spectra - lot of problems with DB content.
