SLD Notes
Commissioning of the SLD 45-Degree Chambers
Rob Kroeger, Vance Echenburg, Johannes Bauer
Abstract:
The SLD detector has a significant gap in its muon tracking coverage resulting from the redesign of the detector to meet earthquake safety standards. The 45-degree chambers are supplemental chamber planes added to recover tracking efficiency for muons in this gap between 0.65£|cosq|£0.85. This note describes the effort on the part of the University of Mississippi group to commission these chambers.
45-Degree Update of the Wic Fitter Algorithm
Rob Kroeger, Vance Eschenburg
Abstract:
This note describes changes in the calculation of the inverse weight
matrix, due to multiple scattering, for the 45-Degree Chamber implementation
of the WIC track fitter.
