3. IFR Barrel Performance: Pion fake rate vse(m) Simple muon selector -- uses only lint info. (neural net algorithms improve rejection by factor ~2) Design June 2002 LSTs Only LSTs + Brass pm > 2 Gev/C Muon Efficiency (Monte Carlo) Installation Review

4. LST design • Single-layer large cell (15x17 mm) • Readout of x and y coordinates from outside strips Graphite- Coated PVC Installation Review

5. Module Assembly Plan • Ohio Stateand Princeton preparing facilities for module assembly. • Both universities fabricating parts for assembly fixtures. • Shipping and testing boxes are being designed. • Planning for testing and quality control is in progress. • Installation procedures coordinated by SLAC and Princeton engineers. Installation Review

6. Efficiency with cosmic ray trigger Full-scale prototype (Identical to “Test Tube” in BaBar) > 400 volt plateau Efficiency limited to < 100% By geometry Ternary [ZEUS] Gas, 8% Isobutane Installation Review

7. Quality Control • Absolutely crucial to get this right! • Q/C procedures at Pol.Hi.Tech. (PHT) • Test equipment supplied by INFN has been accepted by PHT. • Tube acceptance criteria agreed upon – Stated in PO. • Procedures and equipment in place by end of October. • Q/C and long term test procedures at US sites has been designed. • INFN/DoE/NSF student exchange program! • Two Princeton students will be at PHT from Oct 15 to Dec 15. • They will then travel west with the LST’s. Installation Review

11. Milestones (cont’d) Backup Slides Installation Review

12. General Infrastructure for Q/C • QC data and other relevant information collected by hand or, whenever possible, automatically with several DAQ stations. • Common systems at PHT, Princeton, OSU, and SLAC. • Labview will be used to write the DAQ software and design the interface. • The DAQ stations will be operated by physicists on shift and/or PHT personnel. • All DAQ stations will be on a wireless LAN. • The DAQ station output will be simple text files. • Local production database will be available on site. • Data files will be transferred every day to an outside server to be imported in the official offsite LST database. Installation Review

13. Summary • R &D and Prototyping Complete – It works! • Aging and Rates • Noise • Mechanical Stability • Tolerances, Surface quality • Test Tube operating successfully in BaBar • Most orders placed, rest by end of month • Production Starts in 2 Weeks • Group is devoting huge effort and resources on Q/C • We have implemented tests to identify all known diseases. • These tests spotted many problems with prototypes. • On schedule for Aug 1 2004 Installation Installation Review
