CS to brick and track follow-up

● Cosmic ray test● CS scanning● CS to brick connection● Track following

Napoli Scanning Lab

Cosmic ray test performed in November

● Brick with CS brought out of the gallery

● Kept for about 4 minutes at the surface

● Integrating about 100 tracks on the whole surface

● Going back to the underground lab

● Attach a second CS doublet and expose to cosmic rays in the pit for 24 hours

Scanning of the cosmic-ray test bricks

● CS doublets (European part) were scanned at Gran Sasso

● After the first area scanning performed at Gran Sasso, one CSD was sent to Naples

● Enlarged the statistics (all the surface)● CSD scanning and results● CS to brick connection● Brick scan-back

Scanning station for 6 bricks

CS1 and CS2 scanning:● minimum number of grains = 7● “expansion” filter● fixed cutoffs● 15 layers

Up/down linking:● minimum number of grains = 7● Delta X,Y = 30 µm● Delta TX,TY = 40*(1+4*) mrad

CS1/CS2 tracking● Delta X,Y = 40 µm● Delta TX,TY = 25 mrad● N = N

CS1 + N

CS2 = 40 grains

● quality cut: SIGMA < N * 0.13 - 1.3

Napoli laboratory: brick #973

CS1 and CS2 scanning:● minimum number of grains = 7● “expansion” filter● cut-offs tuned on the CS2● 16 layers

Candidates in the CS sheets:● Delta X,Y = 120 µm● Delta TX,TY = 50 mrad

Conclusions● 74 tracks found on the CS doublet (~ 96 cm2) but not manually

checked

● Position dependence of the X offsets

● High fog density (10/1000 µm3) on the films inside the brick

● 47 tracks found in the first plate of the brick and manually confirmed

● 65% of connecting efficiency (physics, instrumental, etc.)

● 41 tracks found on the second plate (manually confirmed)

● 39 tracks found on the third plate (manually confirmed)
