SiLC beam test - CERN SPS June 2008
8 modules, HV=100V, 40MHz, 6 samples
trigger: 9 mm opening, TLUControl.exe -d 10 -a 12 (now for real)
telescope: zero supressed, new firmware

trigger is now correct (9 x 9 mm2 window)
horizontal position ("target") = 0.0mm

- long break in the middle due to power outage after thunderstorm

horizontal position ("target") = +2.0mm - after we decided to scan the whole area in 3 steps
this is RIGHT position

all 3 positions are:
RIGHT: +2.00 mm    <--- this run
MID:   -2.75 mm

  30   Sun Jun 1 18:23:38 2008 Markus FriedlSiLCVery simple trackingrun2719100000  
Very simple alignment (manual linear x direction shifting only, no rotation, assuming equal z spacing) and tracking.
Reference plane = Module 3 (~center)
Deviation calculated from track prediction using the other layers.
Simple Center-of-gravity algorithm (as of APVDAQ_Analysis), no eta applied.
Using only events which have exactly 1 hit per plane (~80% of all events).

Results: 
 Residual RMS = 4.99 um (REFERENCE against neighbor layers 2+4 only)
 Residual RMS = 6.35 um (REFERENCE against all 7 other layers) -> needs more sophisticated alignment
