1 anastass 1.1 \section{Azimuthal symmetry}
2    
3     The first step of the HCAL calibration with collisions data is to equalize the response in
4     $\phi$ for each $\eta$ ring. The procedure takes advantage of the azimuthal
5     symmetry of the detector and the corresponding $\phi$-symmetric energy
6 chlebana 1.2 deposition from events triggered as Minimum bias and photon triggers.
7     These two different data samples supposed different calibration procedures to be performed.
8     \begin{itemize}
9     \item The intercalibration with photon triggered events is performed via equalizing the rate of readout energies
10     above some threshold
11    
12     \item Method of moments: The intercalibration with minbias events is
13 anastass 1.1 performed by comparing the average energy deposit in a calorimeter cell
14     to the mean of the average energy distributions in the entire $\eta$-ring
15     (cells with $i\eta$=const).
16     One of the main challenges is the large channel to channel noise fluctuations
17     (200-300 MeV) and relatively small signal in HB and HE
18     (a few~MeV in HB at $i\eta$=1, a few~tens~MeV in HE at $i\eta$=21).
19     The conditions are more favorable in HF where the noise is
20     comparable or even lower then the signal (about a hundred~MeV in HF at $i\eta$=30, and a few hundreds~MeV
21     at $i\eta$=40).
22 chlebana 1.2 \end{itemize}

24 chlebana 1.2 \subsection{Method of moments}
25 anastass 1.1
26     %Correction of the azimuthal symmetry is the relative correction, which set
27     %gains such, that energy deposition from the signal from the uniform event
28     %is the same over eta-ring.
29     %The main problem to provide this kind of corrections
30     %in HB comes from the large fluctuation of noise from channel to channel in
31     %comparison with the value of the signal from pp minbias
32     %event.
33    
34    
35     There are two possible approaches to obtain correction coefficients using MinBias events and the azimuthal symmetry of HCAL:
36     \begin{enumerate}
37     \item {Direct comparison of the mean deposited energy in the cells after noise subtraction}
38     \item {Analysis of the variances of the signal and noise samples}
39     \end{enumerate}
40     % correction using the mean values
41     In the first approach the correction for each cell is given by
42    
43     \begin{equation}
44     Corr_{i\eta,i\phi} = <E_{i\eta,i\phi}>/(1/N_{i\phi} \times \sum_{N_{\phi}} <E_{i\eta,i\phi}> )
45     \end{equation}
46     where $N_{\phi}$ is the number of HCAL cells in an i$\eta$ ring, and
47     $<E_{i\eta,i\phi}> = <E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{signal}>+<E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{noise}>$ is the
48     mean energy deposition in the HCAL cell. After pedestal subtraction
49     and assuming
50     $<E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{noise}>=0$, we have $<E_{i\eta,i\phi}> = <E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{signal}>$.
51     The uncertainty on the estimation of the coefficients
52     $\sqrt{\Delta^2 (<E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{signal}>) + \Delta^2 (<E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{noise}>)}$,
53     is dominated by the uncertainty on the noise estimation. If we want to achieve a precision
54     of better than 2\% in the middle of HB (i$\eta$=1) we need to collect a few tens million events.
55     Therefore, the simplicity and transparency of this approach is offset by the need of large data samples.
56    
57     % use subtraction via variances
58     The second approach relies on noise removal through subtracting the variance of noise from the variance in the measured energy.
59     The correction factor in this case is given by:
60     \begin{equation}
61     Corr_{i\eta,i\phi} = \sqrt{<\Delta^2 R_{i\eta,i\phi}>/(1/N(i\eta) \times \sum_{N_{\phi}} <\Delta^2 R_{i\eta,i\phi}> )}
62     \end{equation}
63     where $$\Delta^2 R_{i\eta,i\phi} = <\Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{signal}) + \Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{noise})> - <\Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{noise})>$$
64     Assuming no correlations between noise and signal deposition in the calorimeter we get $$\Delta^2 R_{i\eta,i\phi} = <\Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{signal})>.$$
65    
66     The minimum sample for achieving 2\% uncertainty on the signal
67     variance (due to the residual noise contribution) is of the order of a few millions
68     of events.
69    
70     This method requires substantially smaller samples but it is still sensitive to
71     the noise level in a channel. For noisier channels we need larger statistics.
72    
73     The phi inter-calibration with MinBias events requires knowledge of the electronics noise in a channel. We use the same data sample for estimating both the signal and the noise. For HB and HE calibration, the first four time slices (0-3) in a digi are used to estimate the noise $<\Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{noise})>$ while time slices 4-8 contain both signal and noise and give us $<\Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{signal}) + \Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{noise})>$. In HF, windows of three time slices are going to be
74     used for noise and signal.
75    
76     %\begin{itemize}
77     %\item For each run we calculate
78     %$<\Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{noise})>$
79     %(0-3 time slices) and
80     %$<\Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{signal}) + \Delta^2 (E_{i\eta,i\phi}^{noise})>$
81     %(4-7 time slices) and perform noise variance subtraction
82     %($\Delta^2 R_{i\eta,i\phi}$).
83     %
84     %\item For each $i\eta$-ring we calculate the mean variance over 72 or 36 or 18
85     %readouts depending on the ring:
86     %$$\Delta^2 R_{mean j} = 1/Nphi x \sum_{i\phi} {\Delta^2 R_{i\eta,i\phi}}$$
87     %
88     %\item Correction coefficient:
89     % $$K(i,j) = \sqrt(\Delta^2 R_{mean j}/\Delta^2 R_{i\eta,i\phi}$$
90     %\end{itemize}
91    
92    
93    
94     \subsection{Workflow}
95    
96    
97     Due to the small expected signal and the requirement of no correlation between signal and noise,
98     the calibration data has to be collected with no zero suppression (NZS) of the HCAL readouts.
99     A special HcalNZS stream was set up to collect MinBias events for our calibration needs.
100     Once per 4096 events the full HCAL is read without application of hardware zero suppression.
101     The data in this stream is processed by a dedicated Producer at Tier0 which creates a
102     compact AlCaReco output data format. The event content is essentially the
103     estimated energy in each channel in both the signal and noise time windows, along with
104     event trigger information.
105     For azimuthal symmetry we select all triggers except the zero-bias one.
106 chlebana 1.2 The AlCaReco data are directed to the CERN analysis Facility (CAF) where further analysis and extraction of
107     correction coefficients are performed.
108 anastass 1.1 The workflow was tested during several exercises starting from 2006 year.
109    
110    
111     \subsection{Systematics sources}
112    
113     The performance of the discussed techniques and the corresponding systematics were studied with
114     Monte Carlo samples generated for $pp$ collisions center of mass energies of 10 TeV and 900 GeV.
115    
116     Details on the data samples and the used triggers are presented in table~\ref{table_stat}.
117    
118     \begin{table}[!Hhtb]
119     \caption{Data samples selected by the different L1 trigger bits: EG1+EG2+DEG1 means selection of events with
120     one cluster in ECAL with energy more than 1 GeV or one cluster in ECAL with energy more than 2 GeV or two
121     clusters with energy more than 1 GeV each. ZB - no selections are applied.
122     EG2 is selection of events with at least one cluster with energy more than 2 GeV.
123     HFRing24 means the selection of events with sum of energy deposition in rins 2 to 4.
124     L1 trigger selection efficiency shows the fraction of events selected by the
125     indicated L1 trigger bit.}

139    
140     Different trigger bit selections leads to the different mean
141     energy deposition per tower as shown in Figs~\ref{fig_hb_sim_en}-\ref{fig_hf_sim_en}
142     for HB and HF correspondingly.

161     Dead and anomalous channels are excluded from the procedure.
162    
163     The main sources of systematic biases and systematic uncertainties in the determination of the correction factors are:
164     \begin{itemize}
165     \item Residual noise contamination after subtraction. This source can be reduced by increasing the sample size.
166     \item Geometrical structures of HCAL.\\
167     At the interaction point we have some energy distribution for the flow of particles in the
168     direction of the each calorimeter tower. We assume that when averaged over a large number of events the deposited energy is the same for all towers in a ring of constant $i\eta$.
169    
170     The distribution of particles actually reaching each particular tower can be different
171     from that at the vertex due to the magnetic field and the amount of dead material in
172     front of the tower.
173     The solenoidal magnetic field prevents charged particles $p_T$ less than 0.9-1 GeV from reaching the HCAL surface but it should not disturb the azymuthal symmetry of the particle flow.
174     However, due to the inhomogenius material structure of the
175     detector the distributions of energy deposited in tower is not the same any more for
176     all towers in an $i\eta$ ring.
177     %It can be considered as different cuts applied for energy in towers.
178    
179     If we ignore the material effects, the noise, and the magnetic field, the first and second moments of the energy distribution from particles reaching the HCAL towers are given by
180     $$<x_j>= \int_0^E{xf(x)dx}$$
181     $$<x_j^2> = \int_0^E{x^2f(x)dx}$$
182     In the presence of magnetic field, these moments change to
183     $$<x_j> = \int_{a_j}^E{xf(x)dx}$$
184     $$<x_j^2> = \int_{a_j}^E{x^2f(x)dx},$$
185     where $a_j$ are the same for all towers.
186     If different amounts of material are placed in front of different towers $a_j$ are no longer the same for all the towers in the $i\eta$ ring.
187    
188     We studied the effects of the geometry structure in front of HCAL using simulated energy deposits with zero noise and assuming no channel-to-channel miscalibration.
189     We apply the calibration procedure and examine the structure of the derived correction factors.
190     In case of no geometry effects we should get identical coefficients for all cells in the $i\eta$ ring.
191     The correction coefficients calculated using the mean simulated energy deposited per tower are shown in Figs.~\ref{fig_eta1}-~\ref{fig_eta32} for representative $i\eta$ rings in HB, HE, HF (HB: $\eta=1$; HE: $\eta=21$, HF: $\eta=32$).
192     The variances and the mean values are affected differently by these cuts.
193     The $\eta$ dependence of the RMS of coefficients obtained with the technique
194     relying on the ratio of the means is shown in Figs.~\ref{fig_mean_sim_coef}.
195     The corresponding results when the subtraction via variances technique is applied
196     are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig_var_sim_coef}.
197     %4\% of RMS of the coefficients got with mean energies transforms into 2\% of RMS of the coefficients %got with variances.
198     The spread off coefficients in the latter case is significantly smaller.
199     This RMS is due to existence of the blocks of material in front of particular channels and unless parts of detectors are removed moments will stay the same for years if no miscalibration of gains appears.

250     We can select blocks of towers with the same amount of material in front and set
251     azimuthal symmetry corrections separately for towers within the blocks.
252     The difference between blocks due to material effects has to be set up on top
253     of these corrections.
254    
255     \item Digitization
256     \begin{itemize}
257     \item Wide digitization bin. Reconstructed mean values are close to the simulated ones while variances are 1.5--2 times wider due to
258     digitization and conversions.
259     \item Small range from negative side. For most of channels pedestal is set far enough from 0-bit and noise has a well enough defined gaussian shape. But some of channels may have pedestal too close to zero and, thus, the distribution of reconstructed noise deflects from gaussian for these particular channels. These channels requires the additional treatment.
260     \end{itemize}

282 chlebana 1.2 \subsection{Summary for Monte-Carlo studies of Calibrations with MinBias Events}
283 anastass 1.1
284     A set of triggers have been investigated with 10 TeV MinBias sample:
285     ZB trigger provides too low energy deposition in HB/HE and, thus,
286     requires much larger statistics
287     For HB/HE we consider L1EG2 and HF triggers to be the most
288     perspective. The required number of events depends on whether
289     we want to count for the geometrical structuresin HB and HE.
290     4-5 millions of events gives accuracy ~4-5\% for eta<6 and down
291     to 2\% for eta <28.
292     HF is found to be not too sensitive to the trigger choice and
293     requires a few hundreds thousands with EG2 trigger to reach
294     2\% RMS level.
295     Geometry structures are well pronounced in HB/HE and HF.
296     ~4\% in HB
297     ~3.5\% in HE
298     <2\% in HF
299     The calibration of HF down to 2\% level can be performed with 900 GeV
300     sample assuming that we get ~200 Kevents with EG2 trigger.
301    
302 chlebana 1.2 \subsection{Calibration of data}
303    
304     A set of data was taken during 2010 and 2011 years in NZS stream for beams with $\sqrt{s}=7$~TeV. 3 millions of pp events collected in 2010
305     (RunA and RunB up to run 148058) allow to calibrate HF/HB/HE calorimeters. Only good lumisections according CMS certification were taken.
306     Technical bit selection (BPTX plus beam halo veto) was switched on.
307    
308     The calibration coefficients obtained with mean and variances for $i\eta$ = 35 (HF), 21 (HE) and 10 (HB)
309     are presented in Figs.~\ref{fig_datapp2010_1}-\ref{fig_datapp2010_3}.

338     Heavy ion collisions were registered in Novemeber 2010. The energy deposition in readouts in barrel is 10 times higher for AA events
339     then for pp with 2.4 of pileup average. The comparison of mean pp and AA vs $\eta$ and variance of pp and AA vs $\eta$ is presented in
340     Fig.~\ref{fig_mean_var_pp_AA}.
