IT IT Operation Optimization
26 cm
- Cosmic-ray muon DC tracks extrapolated to IT
- Take closest reconstructed IT cluster
to expected position from DC track ε = 94% single-view @ Gain = 12000 Good compromise between IT clustering efficiency and detector operation with colliding beams
- Bhabha scattering events selected using
DC track information Preliminary two-view efficiency measurement with IT operating during collisions in agreement with cosmic-ray data analysis
Dips in occupancy due to GEM foil micro-sector structure 10% improvement with EIND=6kV/cm
