Summary of Source Tests Central Region Found low yield from Prototype S1, Strip 41, possibly fiber splice damaged in transit Rates decrease by 10-20% between strips 20 and 44 at constant distance along scintillator. Probably loss in clear fiber. 15% loss in 1.25m 7.7m attn length Rates decrease by 20-25% along Strips. Corresponds to ~4-6m attn length in scintillator and wavelength shifter, as expected.

Cosmic Ray Test Results: Prototype S1 Mainly ADC Spectra yield Means of 110-160 channels above pedestal at.25 pc/channel Means correspond to ~6 to 8 P.E.s for M.I.P. a 2X improvement over pre-prototype Typical ADC run has ~2% pedestals --> ~4 P.E.s Proto #1 efficiency ~90% at disc threshold of 50 mv. Small Plateau. Proto #2 efficiency ~98% at 30-35 mv. Mapping ADC spectra with cosmic triggers progressing. August 23, 2005 ALCPG R.J. Abrams 17
MPMT Result: Source Spot Size Individual Strips read out from MAPMT Backgounds (no source) subtracted Shows typical spread of source counts is 1-2 strips wide From geometry, expect ~25% in adjacent strips Counts per strip 2000 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 Source Profile - MAPMT Results 0 27 28 29 30 31 32 Strip number Source at Strip #28 Source at Strip #30 August 23, 2005 ALCPG R.J.

Next Steps Calibrate MAPMT Use MAMPT with UCD readout system, study time over threshold to pulse height relation and response of individual strips. Improve MAMPT connector box and add magnetic shielding Test LED /PIN calibration system Continue cosmic ray mapping Test next set of prototypes that collect light at both ends of scintillator strips.
