The MICE apparatus
NB: Particle identification crucial – to avoid bias in require non-muon contamination in final sample must be at most 1‰

TPG – TPC with GEM readout
TrackerBaseline Alternative
Scintillating fibre
• No active electronics/HV close to liquid hydrogen absorber
• No copper close to RF (low pickup)
• 350 fibre: 3-fold doublet; 0.35% X0
• VLPC read-out: high quantum-efficiency, high gain
• Sum neighboring fibres to reduce channel count?
• Light gas (0.15% X0)
• Many points per track
• High precision track recn possible
• Large integration time
• Effect of X-rays on GEMs

Combining neighbouring channels• 7 scint. fibres to 1 readout fibre: reduce channel count (cost)
pT resolution
(pT)
Baseline: 0.17 MeV/c
7-to-1 mux: 0.27 MeV/c
resolution degrades by ~1.6

Preparation for test in D0 VLPC test-stand• This week planning in detail preparation for test• So far have reviewed mechanics and planned for
construction• Still to do:
Electronics (today) Schedule/personnel plan for preparation of software
etc. for run at test-stand at D0
• Very grateful to be allowed access to test-stand!
