Splat-Block
• Goal: Turn off triggers
during high intensity beam
based on an integral of
beam intensity
• Problem: No spill-by-spill
intensity monitor
independent of targets—
used hodoscopes
Cartoon
• Counted total number of
hits for n buckets before
and after the trigger.
• Blocked triggers this
running count was above a
threshold

–
Definition of the occupancy for each layer in each event
# of hits[chamber][plane] / # of elements[chamber][plane]
Definition of the occupancy for each drift chamber in each run
Sum of # of hits[chamber] / ( # of elements[chamber] * # of events)
Occupancy on the 3rd drift chamber
Occupancy on the 1st drift chamber

Drift Chambers
• High voltages applied were stable
• Wires were stable. Only few wires in St.1 DC was
broken and fixed soon in the beginning of the run.
• Typical issues with mapping is resolved.
• Hot channel and dead channel were found and fixed.
• St.1 DC- Vplane has dead region (~60 channels)
• St.3 minus DC had a gas leak problem  Ar:CO2 was
used last 2 weeks.
• Efficiency analysis needs to be done.
• Calibration is on-going.
• T0 was defined preliminary, further study is being
done

Hodoscopes
Very stable hodoscope performance from the
beginning of Run I to its end
● Efficiency:
○ PMT voltages adjusted according to the hit
ratios, indicating an (plane) efficiency of 98%99% (H1 only 90%)
○ Additional runs recorded for further
detailed efficiency studies using full track
reconstruction
● Timing:
○ Adjusted by varying cable length between
patch panel and amp. / discrim.
○ Large fluctuations (+/- 7ns) in H4 (mean
timers? work in progress!)
○ Pulse width adjusted (10ns < width < 15ns)
2015/10/1
St. 1 Hodoscopes
● Matrix1 H1
● Contains More lower-occupancy events
 Needs to be understood

Nuclear Modification
Nuclear Modification in DIS
- Shadowing at low x
- Enhancement below x ~0.3
- Suppression at larger x
- Structure functions include both
quark and anti-quark contributions
- Measured for a broad range of
targets
(Ann. Rev. Nucl. Part. Phys.,
Geesaman, Sato and Thomas)
Nuclear Modification in Drell-Yan (E772)
- Drell-Yan accesses the anti-quark component
- Binding mediated by pion exchange
- Exchanged mesons contain anti-quarks 
enhancement
PRL 64 (1990) 2479
No evidence of anti-quark enhancement in nuclei
 where did the pions go?
26
ECT* Conference, Trento, Italy May 2012
Nuclear Modification: E906
Nuclear Targets: Carbon, Iron, Tungsten
• Nuclear Modification- complementary
with DIS, extends previous Drell-Yan
measurements
– Extend to x ~ 0.45
• E772: 800GeV proton beam
• Models must explain both Drell-Yan and
DIS.

Again, what about bound systems?
• cc deconfinement  J/ suppression in QGP
– J/ suppression during QGP formation competing
against multiple effects: absorption, energy loss
within nuclei, etc
How can we understand these “other processes”?

Partonic Energy Loss: pA1/pA2
• An understanding of partonic energy loss in
both cold and hot nuclear matter is paramount
to elucidating RHIC data.
• Energy loss through cold nuclear matter
• Pre-interaction parton moves through cold
nuclear matter and loses energy
• Apparent (reconstructed) kinematic values (x1
or xF)is shifted
• Fit shift in x1 relative to deuterium (E906)
 Models:
• Galvin and Milana
• Brodsky and Hoyer
• Baier et al.

– Caveat: A correction must be made
for shadowing because of x1—x2

– E866 used an empirical correction
based on EKS fit to DIS and DrellYan.
• Better data outside of shadowing
region needed
