Hello Nathan,
My understanding is that the scintillators cover the full area of the calorimeter. The segmenation
of the crystals in x-y provide some information about the phi angle, but I don't believe there is any
information on theta. Is there any way to get some additional scintillators offset in z to provide
some rudimentary information on theta? Either some new, thinner (in z) paddles on top and
bottom:
1.)
\
\
\
======= <- possible new (theta) scintillator
================== <- existing scintillator
\
------------------------------
| \ | < - ECal crystal
------------------------------
\
=================== <- existing scintillator
====== <- possible new scintillator
\
--------------------------------------------------------> z axis
Or to take some data with the existing scintillators offset in z?
2.)
\
\
\
================ <- existing scintillator - z
\
------------------------------
| \ | < - ECal crystal
------------------------------
\
=================== <- existing scintillator +z
\
--------------------------------------------------------> z axis
I hope the ASCII art survives.
Norman

Hi Andrea,
Sounds good, see you next week.
We can take some LED data in integral mode then if not today.
Plan is to run cosmics in mode 3 (reports integral and time) all Thanksgiving
break after some final testing today.
Sergey is still working on reading out mode 7 (high resolution timing and also
reports an event-by-event pedestal and pulse amplitude in addition to integral).
