MicroBooNE TPC Calibrations
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a few of the studies preformed to test the electronic equipment on the MicroBooNE detector at FermiLab. The aspects of the electronics that are being checked include the gain and linearity of the output data pulse, the cross talk between wires, and the effects of a change in the trigger time on the pulse. This analysis is done at every stage of the set up, thus the comparison of old and new data tests is pivotal to the calibrations analysis.

The Muon Counter System for the MicroBooNE experiment
The MicroBooNE experiment is a liquid argon TPC experiment designed for short-baseline neutrino physics, currently running at Fermilab. Due to its location near the surface, cosmic muons can be a source of backgrounds to many analyses and having a good understanding of the cosmic rays will be very valuable for the experiment. These proceedings describe the physics motivation, setup, and perform...

متن کاملMicroBooNE: Late Light Studies and TPC Crate Tests
This paper primarily discusses two components of the MicroBooNE neutrino experiment’s preliminary tests in its final months before it commences testing. The first of these tests was a series of performance checks on the nine TPC crates designed for the experiment. Backplane beam tests, backplane supernova tests, and ASIC tests were performed extensively to ensure the TPC crates met standards fo...
