11 APEX Strategy: Overview Central momentum p E beam /2 maximizes signal acceptance (and reduces many backgrounds) Septum magnet for forward-angle coverage increases signal acceptance DAQ strategy to cope with high e and π + singles rates: higher-sensitivity VDC electronics two-arm coincidence trigger using GC in e + arm tight coincidence timing (10 ns) Optimize optics calibration for both polarities Multi-foil target minimizes multiple scattering in target and increases mass coverage per beam energy 9
12 Septum Magnet Essential to design Brings mass range of interest into acceptance m Aʹ E beam θ Higher Aʹ signal acceptance at 5º than 12.5º Used PREX septum for test run APEX septum Designed to minimize fringe field on beamline, access small Aʹ decay angles Delivery (Buckley Systems) expected July 2014 Funded by NCCU, CMU, CSULA, SBU, UW grants Need to commission & develop expertise in acceptance calculations (John LeRose did this before) 10
13 APEX Strategy: Overview Septum magnet for forward-angle coverage increases signal acceptance Central momentum p E beam /2 maximizes signal acceptance (and reduces many backgrounds) DAQ strategy to cope with high e and π + singles rates: higher-sensitivity VDC electronics two-arm coincidence trigger using GC in e + arm tight coincidence timing (10 ns) Optimize optics calibration for both polarities Multi-foil target minimizes multiple scattering in target and increases mass coverage per beam energy 11
14 Operating at High Charged Particle Rates APEX running conditions require high singles rates: e (radiative elastic & inelastic) about 10 4 x coincidence rate π ± rate up to 50 x larger than e +* * but π ± rate in test run, SaGDH much lower than expectations from higher-energy fits. e π + accidentals dominate DAQ bandwidth Challenging but validated in test run Tested tracking up to ~5 MHz e rate (highest rate expected for full run), obtained 60% track reconstruction efficiency may be improvable to 75% Golden trigger for e + e pairs rejects e π + accidentals Left S2m + Right S2m + Right Gas Cherenkov (e + ) 10 ns online timing achieved in test-run manageable DAQ rates ( 2.5 khz) 10 ns timing gate 12

16 Magnetic Spectrometer Optics Hall A standard: Removable sieve plate upstream of septum. Map between surveyed locations of sieve holes and reconstructions to calibrate optics Test run: used reconstructed hole sizes to measure resolution but this method only works for e near elastic peak for APEX, requires running at different beam energy.

18 APEX Strategy: Overview Septum magnet for forward-angle coverage increases signal acceptance Central momentum p E beam /2 maximizes signal acceptance (and rejects many backgrounds) DAQ strategy to cope with high e and π + singles rates: new VDC electronics coincidence trigger with Gas Cerenkov detector Optimize optics calibration in parallel-field configuration Multi-foil target minimizes multiple scattering in target 16
