Wire angle correspondance

Determining wire-theta correspondance

To associate the hits with the Moller scattering angle theta, the occupancy plots of the drift chamber hits by means of wire numbers and layer must be translated using the physical constraints of the detector. Using the data released for the DC:

DC: Drift Chambers(specs)

This gives the detector with a working range of 5 to 40 degrees in Theta for the lab frame, with a resolution of 1m radian.

This sets the lower limit:

[math]\frac{5^{\circ}}{1}\frac{\pi\ radians}{180^{\circ}}=.0872664626\ radians[/math]

This sets the upper limit:

[math]\frac{40^{\circ}}{1}\frac{\pi\ radians}{180^{\circ}}=.698131700798\ radians[/math]

Taking the difference,

[math].698131700798-.0872664626\approx\ .61086523198\ radians[/math]

Dividing by 112, we find

[math]\frac{.61086523198}{112}=.005454153912\ radians\approx\ 0.0055\ radians[/math]

CED Verification

Using CED to verify the angle and wire correlation,

Zooming in on the view paralell to the direction of the wires in ced, we can examine the wire corresponding theta angle in the drift chamber.

Corresponding theta angles can be found for other wires, in Region 1, Superlayers 1 and 2.

Super Layer 1:Layer 1

Finding the difference between wires 1 and 2,

[math]\frac{5.09^{\circ}-4.79^{\circ} }{wire\ number}=.3\frac{^{\circ}}{wire\ number} [/math]

Finding the difference between wires 111 and 112,

[math]\frac{40.82^{\circ}-40.50^{\circ}}{wire\ number}=.32\frac{^{\circ}}{wire\ number}[/math]

Examing the range limits for the angle theta:

This sets the lower limit:

[math]4.79^{\circ}[/math]

This sets the upper limit:

[math]40.82^{\circ}[/math]

Taking the difference,

[math]40.82^{circ}-4.79^{circ}=36.03^{circ}[/math]

Dividing by 112 wires, we find

[math]\frac{36.03^{circ}}{112\ wires}\approx\ 0.322 \frac{^{circ}}{wire\ number}[/math]
