Article Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 88Performance and Operation of the Cms Electromagnetic Calorimeter(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerThe operation and general performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter using cosmic-ray muons are described. These muons were recorded after the closure of the CMS detector in late 2008. The calorimeter is made of lead tungstate crystals and the overall status of the 75 848 channels corresponding to the barrel and endcap detectors is reported. The stability of crucial operational parameters, such as high voltage, temperature and electronic noise, is summarised and the performance of the light monitoring system is presented. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 42Performance of Cms Hadron Calorimeter Timing and Synchronization Using Test Beam, Cosmic Ray, and Lhc Beam Data(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerThis paper discusses the design and performance of the time measurement technique and of the synchronization systems of the CMS hadron calorimeter. Time measurement performance results are presented from test beam data taken in the years 2004 and 2006. For hadronic showers of energy greater than 100 GeV, the timing resolution is measured to be about 1.2 ns. Time synchronization and out-of-time background rejection results are presented from the Cosmic Run At Four Tesla and LHC beam runs taken in the Autumn of 2008. The inter-channel synchronization is measured to be within 2 ns. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 44Aligning the Cms Muon Chambers With the Muon Alignment System During an Extended Cosmic Ray Run(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerThe alignment system for the muon spectrometer of the CMS detector comprises three independent subsystems of optical and analog position sensors. It aligns muon chambers with respect to each other and to the central silicon tracker. System commissioning at full magnetic field began in 2008 during an extended cosmic ray run. The system succeeded in tracking muon detector movements of up to 18 mm and rotations of several milliradians under magnetic forces. Depending on coordinate and subsystem, the system achieved chamber alignment precisions of 140-350 μm and 30-200 μrad, close to the precision requirements of the experiment. Systematic errors on absolute positions are estimated to be 340-590 μm based on comparisons with independent photogrammetry measurements. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 43Commissioning of the Cms High-Level Trigger With Cosmic Rays(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerThe CMS High-Level Trigger (HLT) is responsible for ensuring that data samples with potentially interesting events are recorded with high efficiency and good quality. This paper gives an overview of the HLT and focuses on its commissioning using cosmic rays. The selection of triggers that were deployed is presented and the online grouping of triggered events into streams and primary datasets is discussed. Tools for online and offline data quality monitoring for the HLT are described, and the operational performance of the muon HLT algorithms is reviewed. The average time taken for the HLT selection and its dependence on detector and operating conditions are presented. The HLT performed reliably and helped provide a large dataset. This dataset has proven to be invaluable for understanding the performance of the trigger and the CMS experiment as a whole. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 41Calibration of the Cms Drift Tube Chambers and Measurement of the Drift Velocity With Cosmic Rays(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerThis paper describes the calibration procedure for the drift tubes of the CMS barrel muon system and reports the main results obtained with data collected during a high statistics cosmic ray data-taking period. The main goal of the calibration is to determine, for each drift cell, the minimum time delay for signals relative to the trigger, accounting for the drift velocity within the cell. The accuracy of the calibration procedure is influenced by the random arrival time of the cosmic muons relative to the LHC clock cycle. A more refined analysis of the drift velocity was performed during the offline reconstruction phase, which takes into account this feature of cosmic ray events. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.Article Citation - WoS: 54Citation - Scopus: 49Performance of the Cms Hadron Calorimeter With Cosmic Ray Muons and Lhc Beam Data(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerThe CMS Hadron Calorimeter in the barrel, endcap and forward regions is fully commissioned. Cosmic ray data were taken with and without magnetic field at the surface hall and after installation in the experimental hall, hundred meters underground. Various measurements were also performed during the few days of beam in the LHC in September 2008. Calibration parameters were extracted, and the energy response of the HCAL determined from test beam data has been checked. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.Article Citation - WoS: 57Citation - Scopus: 46Commissioning and Performance of the Cms Silicon Strip Tracker With Cosmic Ray Muons(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerDuring autumn 2008, the Silicon Strip Tracker was operated with the full CMS experiment in a comprehensive test, in the presence of the 3.8 T magnetic field produced by the CMS superconducting solenoid. Cosmic ray muons were detected in the muon chambers and used to trigger the readout of all CMS sub-detectors. About 15 million events with a muon in the tracker were collected. The efficiency of hit and track reconstruction were measured to be higher than 99% and consistent with expectations from Monte Carlo simulation. This article details the commissioning and performance of the Silicon Strip Tracker with cosmic ray muons. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.Article Citation - WoS: 49Citation - Scopus: 66Time Reconstruction and Performance of the Cms Electromagnetic Calorimeter(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerThe resolution and the linearity of time measurements made with the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter are studied with samples of data from test beam electrons, cosmic rays, and beam-produced muons. The resulting time resolution measured by lead tungstate crystals is better than 100 ps for energy deposits larger than 10 GeV. Crystal-to-crystal synchronization with a precision of 500 ps is performed using muons produced with the first LHC beams in 2008. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 41Performance of the Cms Cathode Strip Chambers With Cosmic Rays(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerThe Cathode Strip Chambers (CSCs) constitute the primary muon tracking device in the CMS endcaps. Their performance has been evaluated using data taken during a cosmic ray run in fall 2008. Measured noise levels are low, with the number of noisy channels well below 1%. Coordinate resolution was measured for all types of chambers, and fall in the range 47μm to 243μm. The efficiencies for local charged track triggers, for hit and for segments reconstruction were measured, and are above 99%. The timing resolution per layer is approximately 5 ns. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.Article Citation - WoS: 60Citation - Scopus: 41Commissioning and Performance of the Cms Pixel Tracker With Cosmic Ray Muons(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Karapınar, GülerThe pixel detector of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment consists of three barrel layers and two disks for each endcap. The detector was installed in summer 2008, commissioned with charge injections, and operated in the 3.8 T magnetic field during cosmic ray data taking. This paper reports on the first running experience and presents results on the pixel tracker performance, which are found to be in line with the design specifications of this detector.
