Finding out what is gain for each channel using the Stanford pulse generator.

Setting:

Run Number: r634 && r635

Amplified pulse for two channels.gifAmplified pulse for two channels swapped.gif

Original pulse from stanford pulse generator goes to the ADC: r636 && r637


Pulse for two channels.gifPulse for two channels swapped.gif

I used the attenuator for both channels and it was set to the same value: 12dB = 10.7918.

[math]X db = 20 log_{10}\frac{I_1}{I_2}[/math]
[math]\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 10^{12/20} = 3.98[/math]

Gain Calculation

Gain_for_Channel_1 = Gain_TrigOut = [math]\frac{175 \times 10.7918}{110} = 17.1688[/math]
Gain_for_Channel_5 = Gain_Strip = [math]\frac{650 \times 10.7918}{145} = 48.377[/math]


TrigOutSignal R607 full scale.png


TrigOut and the stripsignal, both are used as a pulse and go to ADC.
The pulse from the Strips is used as a trigger and gate.

The pulse from the trigout is delayed, Amplified by the Timinig Filter Amplifier(Coarse_Gain=X20, Fine_Gain=8.5 && Integrate=20ns).
Signal from the Strips goes to the Timing Filter Amplifier(Coarse_Gain=X20, Fine_Gain=10.5 && Integrate=20ns). Amplified pulse is devided into two signals, One is sued as a trigger and gate and second as a pulse for ADC. The first one(gate && trigger) is amplified using the Timing Filter Amplifier(Coarse_Gain=X2, Fine_Gain=10 && Integrate=50ns) and used in DIFF. CFD for gate and trigger. Second output from the Amplified strips, goes to delay box(TENNELEC TC 215 DELAY AMPLIFIER) and putted to the ADC.

The results shown below are for different Diff. CFD values.

1). Threshold Values: Threshold=1.90, ULD=9.65 && LLD=2.10

Run Number is r613

Start time: Dec 11 16:31:42 End Time: Dec 11 17:32:23


2). Threshold Values: Threshold=3.10, ULD=9.65 && LLD=2.90

Run Number is r622

Start time: Dec 11 19:25:28 End Time: Dec 11 21:53:44

2). Threshold Values: Threshold=3.70, ULD=9.65 && LLD=3.50

Run Number is r624

Start time: Dec 11 21:58:37 End Time: Dec 12 12:19:53

GEM RUN Number r624 charge collected by the strips and charge leaving last GEM foil-12-12-08.gif

The result shown below is reasonable. The charge that left the last GEM foil is greater than the charge collected by the strips.

QCD and asymptotic freedom

In non-Abelian gauge theories, the beta function can be negative, as first found by Frank Wilczek, David Politzer and David Gross. An example of this is the beta-function for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), and as a result the QCD coupling decreases at high energies.

Furthermore, the coupling decreases logarithmically, a phenomenon known as asymptotic freedom. The coupling decreases approximately as

[math] \alpha_s(k^2) \ \stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\ \frac{g_s^2(k^2)}{4\pi} \approx \frac1{\beta_0\ln(k^2/\Lambda^2)}[/math]

where β0 is a constant computed by Wilczek, Gross and Politzer.

Conversely, the coupling increases with decreasing energy. This means that the coupling becomes large at low energies, and one can no longer rely on Perturbation theory.
