Overview
• the analysis of response functions helps to understand
the performances of the detector
Baseline data taking with Cosmic rays:
• Run_135000894 for one tower data
• Run_135002052 for two towers data
Monte Carlo Data:
• Official Surface Muons data for one Tower
• New Surface Muons data for one Tower with alignment
• study of the PSF only due to the muon behaviour
• problem: muons come from all directions

Method used to derive the “PSF”
clusters
Development of a procedure to define a
“PSF” root variable of the LAT towers
•First steps:
reconstructed track:
reconstructed directions
and entry point
– Assume track like “true information”
– extrapolation of the track in all
silicon layers
– calculate the difference between the
track point and the clusters in every
layer separating the X and Y view
– create the variable R using the X and
Y measurement

Method used to derive the “PSF”
• this “variable” contains (i) the information on the reconstruction of
the track and (ii) on the geometrical resolution

Comparison of R for Data
and Montecarlo (Tower A).
the “PSF” root variable is computed for events satisfying the
following muon selection criteria:
• 1 and only 1 reconstructed track
• energy selection in the calorimeter (consistent with MIP)
• geometrical selection on the reconstructed direction
• Comparison with official Montecarlo:
analyzed with the same algorithm of data
•Real Tower A data

Meeting
17th June
• Bill and Hiro gave suggestions about the misalignment of the
tracker
• Tracy and Leon helped to change it in the Monte Carlo
• Michael calculated the real “misalignment constants” to be
introduced in the new MC.
Thanks to all!!

New Monte Carlo with the (mis)alignment File.
new Montecarlo using the alignment file
peaks are now shifted to the right position, there are only small
differences left in the tails of the distributions
Now we find a better agreement between the real and the MC data.

Study of PSF R in Z
• study of the PSF in R related to the height of the tower:
– fit R distribution in each layer:
sum of a Gaussian and an exponential to
variable power
F(x) =
The peak is fitted with a Gaussian and the tails by an exponential !
Study the behaviour of R as a function of the “depth” in the Tower.

Next Steps:
1 - Calculation of the Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of
the PSF in R using the fit function
2 - Calculation of the RMS Max and Min of the shape of the PSF
3 – Calculation of the value of PSF in R which contains 68% and
95% of the data, respectively
Instrument Analysis Workshop - Aug 29, SLAC

1a - Analysis of the FWHM vs Z
• calculation of FWHM using the fit function and plotted versus Z
• errors: analytical calculation with error propagation
Linear regression
of the Monte Carlo
data

1b - Theta (polar angle) dependance of R
Linear Distribution of the FWHM versus Theta.
Indeed the dispersion of the PSF in R is related to the length of
the track across the detector.

1c - Phi (Azimuth angle) dependance of R
flat distribution within the errors:
independence to the Azimuth angle.

For the Montecarlo data we have still less dispersion.

3 - Calculation of PSF values at 68% and 95% levels
• the ratio Sigma 68% over 95% is
flat around 0.5
Sigma 95% is twice the Sigma
68%
similar to Gaussian distribution.
But: the real data show larger
dispersion and a different
behavior of the tails

Conclusions
• Alignment is a crucial issue when comparing R distributions
for real Data and Monìte Carlo simulations.
• As expected: The PSF function shows a linear dependence on
Z of the tower
• As expected: the PSF depends on the polar angle but is
independent of the azimuth angle
Instrument Analysis Workshop - Aug 29, SLAC
21
Conclusion
•The difference which persists between the Monte Carlo and real
data could be related to an underestimation of the multiple scattering
in the simulation or related to the input flux.
A possible solution:
