The BaBar data reconstruction control system

The new BaBar Data Reconstruction Control System

The BaBar experiment is characterized by extremely high luminosity, a complex detector, and a huge data volume, with increasing requirements each year. To fulfill these requirements a new control system has been designed and developed for the offline data reconstruction system. The new control system described in this paper provides the performance and flexibility needed to manage a large numbe...

SLAC - PUB - 7977 The BABAR Prompt Reconstruction System

The IFR Online Detector Control system at the BaBar experiment

The Instrumented Flux Return (IFR)[1] is one of the five subdetectors of the BaBar[2] experiment on the PEP II accelerator at SLAC. The IFR consists of 774 Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detectors, covering an area of about 2,000 m2 and equipped with 3,000 Front-end Electronic Cards (FEC) reading about 50,000 channels (readout strips). The first aim of a B-factory experiment is to run continuous...

BABAR Muon System

The BABAR detector, at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is a general purpose detector for the study of e+e− interactions at the Υ(4S) resonance. BABAR’s muon detection system consists of two parts: a hexagonal barrel region and two planar endcap regions each containing 18 layers of iron (∼ 3.6λ), with resistive plate chambers within the inter-iron gaps. These chambers have suffered deteri...
