Strip Width Studies
Limits are determined by;
• minimum: -- σx(hits) w.r.to theprevious layer
-- cost (#of channels)• maximum: -- hit densities
-- geom. resolution(e.g. track matching)
We looked at multiple scattering σx and hitdensities using a GEANT4 implementation of the“Tail Catcher”. For calorimetric studies seeVishnu Zutshi’s talk, calorimetry session 6.

Muon ID Algorithm DevelopmentSiD detector: Rin = 349 cm;
Rout = 660 cm.5 cm thick Fe; 32/48 1.5 cm gaps instrumented.
1. Extrapolate fitted tracks to EC, HC and MuDet.
2. Collect hits in (∆θ, ∆ϕ) bins about extrapolated trks.
3. For muons with p > 3 GeV/c require 16/32 hits taking into account dE/dx.

Hadrons near muons…. for bb_
• For 5000 bb events there were 136 tracks that satisfied the µ algorithm but were labeled as hadrons entering the µ detector, because there was a hadron in the allowed (∆θ, ∆ϕ) window of the extrapolated track. Many of these are low p tracks.
• About 70% of these tracks have two, or sometimes three, nearby tracks where one is a true µ.
• By using the µ ID algorithm in Hcal, (# of hits/layer, etc.) it looks like about 2/3 of these tracks can be identified as muons or hadrons.
• M. Piccolo has also looked at low momentum µ tracks, because of interest in LC physics, e.g. LSP could be massive, slightly less than the smuon mass . Use Hcal.

PMT Test and Calibration at WSU
A Hamamatsu R5900-M16 MAPMT mounted in a MINOS (far detector) base. The assembly has been modified to accommodate an aluminum guide for optical fibers. The 16 holes in the aluminumblock are aligned with the MAPMT photocathode grid. Ambient light or pulses from an LED are injected into individual pixels. Cables are visible for HV bias and anode signal readout.

Spatial resolutionA good glass RPC
Resolution of single RPC of the same order as the bakelite one.
Here too the actual value of the spatial resolution is set by the strip pitch.
Fit with two Gaussian distributionslead again to a ratio narrow/wide 20:1.
