azimuthal scan

Performance and calibration studies for runs with different azimuthal angle of the prototype.

  • CERN 18
  • bar with 3-layer spherical lens attached to the edge of the prism
  • 2.5 (S409), 5 (S406), 10 (S407), 15 (408) degree azimuthal angle
  • p/pi @ 7 GeV/c
  • geometrical and TI reconstruction
  • delta t selection with s = 0.5 ns
  • with beam direction correction
  • with per-PMT Cherenkov angle correction

Performance compared to phi = 0 (all beam data):

Rotation scans for prototype at 15 deg azhimuthal angle. Separation power of the geometrical reconstruction as a function of the azhimuthal angle deviation from nominal value (after per-PMT Cherenkov angle correction):

Polar angle scan:
