V 2) where the high t range was never before explored at Tevatron energies Ø Allows combination of tracks with high-p. T scattering in the central detector Jorge Barreto – UFRJ Small_X / 09/17 – 09/20

Castle Status All 6 castles with 18 Roman pots comprising the FPD were constructed in Brazil, installed in the Tevatron in fall of 2000, and have been functioning as designed. A 1 Quadrupole castle installed in the beam line. Jorge Barreto – UFRJ Small_X / 09/17 – 09/20

FPD Detector Setup Ø 6 planes per detector in 3 frames and a trigger scintillator Ø U and V at 45 degrees to X, 90 degrees to each other 17. 39 mm Ø U and V planes have 20 fibers, X planes have 16 fibers V’ V Trigger X X’ 17. 39 mm U’ U Ø Planes in a frame offset by ~2/3 fiber Ø Each channel filled with four fibers 8 0. m 1 m m m 3. 2 Jorge Barreto – UFRJ mm Ø 2 detectors in a spectrometer Small_X / 09/17 – 09/20

Detector Construction At the University of Texas, Arlington (UTA), scintillating and optical fibers were spliced and inserted into the detector frames. The cartridge bottom containing the detector is installed in the Roman pot and then the cartridge top with PMT’s is attached. Jorge Barreto – UFRJ Small_X / 09/17 – 09/20

Segments to Hits Segments x Ø Combination of fibers in a frame determine a segment (270 m) y Ø Need two out of three possible segments to get a hit – U/V, U/X, V/X 10 • Can reconstruct an x and y Ø Can also get an x directly from the x segment v x Jorge Barreto – UFRJ u Ø Require a hit in both detectors of spectrometer Small_X / 09/17 – 09/20

Detector Status • 10 of the 18 Roman pots have been fully instrumented with detectors • Funds to add detectors to the remainder of the pots have recently been obtained from NSF. • During the shutdown (Sep-Nov. 2003), the final eight detectors and associated readout electronics are being installed.

Pot Motion Software Pot motion is controlled in the DØ Control Room via a Python program that uses the DØ online system to send commands to the step motors in the tunnel. The software is reliable and has been tested extensively. It has many safeguards to protect against accidental insertion of the pots into the beam. Jorge Barreto – UFRJ Small_X / 09/17 – 09/20

Operations • • Currently FPD pots are inserted in every store Commissioning integrated FPD Have some dedicated FPD triggers, more when TM operational Working towards automated pot insertion Jorge Barreto – UFRJ Small_X / 09/17 – 09/20

Stand-alone DAQ – Phase 1 • In phase I we used a stand-alone DAQ (2000 engineering run). • We build the trigger with NIM logic using signals given by our trigger PMT’s, veto counters, DØ clock, and the luminosity monitor. • If the event satisfies the trigger requirements, the CAMAC module will process the signal given by the MAPMT’s. • With this configuration we can read the fiber information of only two detectors, although all the trigger scintillators are available for triggering.

Elastic Data Distributions Before alignment After alignment Gaussian fit t distribution After alignment correction, peaks at 0 (as expected for elastics) The t distribution has a minimum of 0. 8 Ge. V 2; tmin is determined by how close the pots are from the beam, shape is in rough agreement with expected angular acceptance from MC. FPD is also a tool helping BD Jorge Barreto – UFRJ DØ Preliminary Small_X / 09/17 – 09/20
