Calibration of RPC-based muon detector at BESⅢ

The calibration algorithm for RPC-based muon detector at BESⅢ has been developed. The calibration method, calibration error and algorithm performance are studied. The primary results of efficiency and noise at layer, module and strip levels have been calibrated with cosmic ray data. The calibration constants are available for simulation and reconstruction tuning. The results of Monte Carlo and data are also compared to check the validation and reliability of the algorithm.     

Lagrange multiplier method used in BESⅢ kinematic fitting

In this paper,the kinematic fitting with the Lagrange multiplier method has been studied for BESⅢ experiment.First we introduce the Lagrange multiplier method and implement kinematic constraints.Then we present the performance of the kinematic fitting algorithm.With the kinematic fitting,we can improve the resolution of track parameters and reduce the background.     

Track reconstruction in the BESⅢ muon counter

The reconstruction algorithm for BESⅢ Muon Counter, MucRecAlg, is developed with the object-oriented language C++ in BESⅢ offline software environment. MucRecAlg consists of the following functions: to find track seeds either from extrapolation of tracks in the main drift chamber or from the fired strips in muon counter, to select fired strips associated to the candidate tracks, to fit the candidate tracks with a linear or quadratic function and to calculate other parameters of the tracks for muon identification. Monte Carlo samples are generated to check the performance of the reconstruction package, such as reconstruction efficiency, muon remaining rate and pion rejection rate, etc. The preliminary results show that the pion rejection rate is around 3%-4% while the muon remaining rate is better than 90% in 0.4-1.6 GeV/c momentum region, which meets the requirement as shown in the design report.     

Monte Carlo study on the low momentum μ-π identification of the BESⅢ EM calorimeter

The BESⅢ detector has a high-resolution electromagnetic calorimeter which can be used for low momentum μ-π identification.Based on Monte Carlo simulations, μ-π separation was studied.A multilayer perceptron neural network making use of the defined variables was used to do the identification and a good μ-π separation result was obtained.     

Tuning of the cosmic-ray test system of the BESⅢ drift chamber

The BESⅢ drift chamber and its subsystems need a cosmic-ray test after the chamber construction to check the chamber construction quality,testing the joint operation of the whole system and the performance of the chamber.The noise performance,drift time and charge measurements,and the scanning of channels were examined specifically.The preliminary results of the test indicate that the whole system works well.     

Design and assembly of the CsI(T1) crystal module of the BESⅢ electro-magnetic calorimeter

The CsI(T1) crystal modules of the Beijing Spectrometer Ⅲ (BESⅢ) electro-magnetic calorimeter (EMC) were designed and assembled through Monte Carlo simulation and experiments. After the assembly was finished, the performance of each crystal module was tested by cosmic rays. All crystal modules were found to work well before the installation of EMC.     

Installation and cosmic ray test of the high voltage system of the BESⅢdrift chamber

After examination of the designed high voltage power supply system of the BESⅢ drift chamber in the beam test of the full length prototype of drift chamber,a full system covering all the channels of high voltage was installed.The system's training and the high voltage value adjustment were carried out in the cosmic ray test of the BESⅢ drift chamber.The cosmic ray test for the full system and its final installation on the BESⅢ drift chamber were reported.The full system of high voltage power supply works stably and reliably.     

Coolant choice for the central beryllium pipe of the BESⅢ beam pipe

In order to take away much more heat on the BESⅢ beam pipe to guarantee the normal particle detection,EDM-1(oil No.1 for electric discharge machining),with good thermal and flow properties was selected as the candidate coolant for the central beryllium pipe of the BESⅢ beam pipe.Its cooling character was studied and dynamic corrosion experiment was undertaken to examine its corrosion on beryllium.The experiment results show that EDM-1 would corrode the beryllium 19.9 μm in the depth in 10 years,which is weak and can be neglected.Finite element simulation and experiment research were taken to check the cooling capacity of EDM-1.The results show that EDM-1 can meet the cooling requirement of the central beryllium pipe.Now EDM-1 is being used to cool the central beryllium pipe of the BESⅢ beam pipe.     

BESⅢ track fitting algorithm

A track fitting algorithm based on the Kalman filter method has been developed for BESⅢ of BEPCⅡ.The effects of multiple scattering and energy loss when the charged particles go through the detector,non-uniformity of magnetic field (NUMF) and wire sag, etc., have been carefully handled.This algorithm works well and the performance satisfies the physical requirements tested by the simulation data.

The online Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) tool plays an important role in the data recording process of HEP experiments. The BESⅢ DQM collects data from the online data flow, reconstructs them with offline reconstruction software and automatically analyzes the reconstructed data with user-defined algorithms.

The monitored results are gathered and displayed in various formats, which provides the shifter with current run information that can be used to identify problems quickly.

Study of the efficiency of event start time determination at BESⅢ

A method to estimate the efficiency of event start time determination at BESIII is developed.This method estimates the efficiency at the event level by combining the efficiencies of various tracks(e,μ,π,K,p,γ)in a Bayesian way.Efficiencies results and the difference between data and MC at the track level are presented in this paper.For a given physics channel,event start time efficiency and systematic error can be estimated following this method.     

A data quality monitoring software framework for the BESⅢ experiment

Data quality monitoring (DQM) plays an important role in data taking at the BESⅢ experiments. DQM is used to monitor detector status and data quality. A DQM framework (DQMF) has been developed to make it possible to reuse the BESⅢ offline reconstruction system in the online environment. In this framework, the DQMF can also simulate a virtual data taking environment, transfer events to the event display, publish histograms to a histogram presenter in a fixed interval, and dump histograms into a ROOT file. The DQMF has been stably running throughout BESⅢ data taking.
