15th study: 15 TOF1 hits per 3.2ms spill at 1.3V.ms25 TOF1 hits per 3.2ms spill at 2V.ms
Assuming linearity of rate across the spill:
5 TOF1 hits per 1 ms spill at 1.3V.ms 8 TOF1 hits per 1ms spill at 2V.ms. 1
16th study: 30 TOF1 hits per 1ms spill at 1.3V.ms60 TOF1 hits per 1ms spill at 2V.ms.
NB: 1.3V.ms ~ 2V peak in R8BLM1

16th June: TOF PID for Run 2004
17/09/2010A Dobbs
Large peak is mainly muons with perhaps some pion contamination in tail
Small peak to the left is positrons
16
15th study: Average # of pulses per run = 426 6.5 tracks per 3.2ms spill at 1.3V.ms
10.5 tracks per 3.2ms spill at 2V.ms
Assuming linearity of rate across the spill:
2 tracks per 1 ms spill at 1.3V.ms 3 tracks per 1ms spill at 2V.ms.
Reconstructed TOF Tracks Vs. Beam Loss
17/09/2010A Dobbs
NB Removed run 2011 from 16th plot, bad reconstruction due to DAQ error
16th study: Average # of pulses per run = 36122 tracks per 1ms spill at 1.3V.ms33.5 tracks per 1ms spill at 2V.ms
→ Reduction of ~ 60% for 15th, ~ 40% for 16th
Possible causes include particle decay between TOF0 and TOF1 and DAQ deadtime.

DATE DAQ Gate short and late wrt to spill → target parabola swinging later in spill as depth increases could cause observed non – linear rate increase with beam loss.
Tail off at the end of TOF Tracks plot probably caused by DAQ deadtime or software reconstruction inefficiency (although number of particles in whole spill gate is not high, very large beam losses do lead to very large instantaneous rates).

Summary
17/09/2010A Dobbs
Beam Loss varies approximately linearly with target BCD for 25mm ≤ BCD ≤ 30mm, for ‘normal’ short target delay
Particle Rate in the MICE Beamline scales approximately linearly with increasing Beam Loss up to 5V.ms in (Sector 7 Integral)
At 2V beam loss for π → µ optics observed: 8 TOF1 hits per 1ms spill for –ve 60 TOF1 hits per 1ms spill for +veNB Remember doublet optics, and losses due
to reconstruction when interpreting this.

Future Plans
17/09/2010
No more data runs planned in nearer future TOF reconstruction – understand why seem to
lose particles c.f. Scalers Model beam line rates with G4BeamLine /
G4MICE simulations Use ORBIT to understand loss patterns around
ISIS and relate beam loss to protons-on-target
