Characterization of LST Z Plane Signals
- SLAC
The Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) used to detect muons in the BaBar detector are losing efficiency and are being replaced by Limited Streamer Tubes. Z planes are a component of the detector that gathers detects muons. It is desired to know how Z signals vary from across the plane. Using an Oscilloscope and Scintillator triggers, the output signals of the Z plane can be characterized at various points on the plane and analyzed. The results of this study indicate an approximate signal speed of .58c with signals decreasing in pulse height and staying constant in pulse width for strips further down the output cable.
