Looks pretty good!
Timing
M1R1 (GEM) seems early by ~1 bin(1.6ns) wrt reference. Not understood.
Otherwise pretty goodtiming, based on 2011calibration
Some timing systematics though:
TELL1 firmware
• Xavier Gremaud optimized TELL1 firmware for speed to readout M1 @ 1MHz
• Also fixed ‘last missing MEP’ bug• But many errors in MUON/L0MU comparison
– Julien Cogan’s Tool to debug L0 actually used to debug MUON!
• Received v5.0.13 on Tu 3/4: no more errors– In time before stable beams!
• Thanks Xavier, Julien
HV tripsNew Twiki by Oleg:
Hotspot in M3R2
Present for a few fills. Then disappeared spontaneously
Dataquality feedback
Offline efficiency calculations indicate low efficiency in M4/M5
First thought to be related to outdated HLT DB with outdated muon positions
But hasn’t changed sincethe HLT DB tag was updated

Extra shielding behind M5• Effectiveness of to be studied in mode detail
April 5, long TAE run 11128550ns bunch trains
March 30, short TAE run 1102703x3 bunches (holes from TELL1bug)
~5xmore afterpulsethan real hits?
~same afterpulseas real hits?
DM: what’s that hole in M5?
thanks to extra shieldingor shorter pulse length?
Does the Alu ‘wall’ help shielding?

No significant gap-gap difference,But chambers behind wall draw ~30% less current
In TAE run, chambers behind wall have ~30% fewer hits than those in front
Install a small thin shielding in behind one or two chambers?
Two hints:
