### Introduction

E918 (BTeV) is an approved experiment. It requires detector research and
development in tracking, triggering, data acquisition, charged hadron
identification, electromagnetic calorimetry and muon detection, as well
as an extensive effort in simulation and software development. The goal
of the present R&D project is to develop the final devices for use in
the BTeV experiment. This MOU relates to muon detector tests which will
be carried out using the MTEST beam of the Meson Area during the
2002-2003 run period.

This is a memorandum of understanding between the Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory and those experimenters of E918 who have
committed to participate in muon beam tests to be carried out during the
2002-2003 period. The memorandum is intended solely for the purpose of
providing a budget estimate and a work allocation for Fermilab, the
funding agencies and the participating institutions. It reflects an
arrangement that currently is satisfactory to the parties; however, it
is recognized and anticipated that changing circumstances of the
evolving research program will necessitate revisions. The parties agree
to negotiate amendments to this memorandum that will reflect such
required adjustments.

### II. Experimental Area, Beams, and Schedule Considerations

1.  LOCATION AND FACILITIES

    1.  The test apparatus is to be located in the downstream open area
        (MT6B) in the MTEST beam line. Approximately 10 feet along the
        beam direction are required. In addition, the test-beam
        Control/Counting Room to the west of the MTEST beam will be used
        to house electronics.

    2.  A "gateway" computer with Internet access should be provided.
        Powered racks for electronics and NIM bins should also be made
        generally available.

    3.  Space in cable trays for approximately 20 cables (20 high
        voltage and 20 ribbon cables connecting the MT6B to the Counting
        Room) are required.

    4.  Space in electronics racks is needed in MT6B and the Counting
        Room. We require 30 inches of space in each area.

    5.  One standard-size table will be required in the test-beam
        Counting Room. Computer networking to the gateway computer will
        be required at the table.

    6.  The power requirements are 2 KW of clean power for electronics.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
2.  Beam

    1.  The tests will use slow resonantly-extracted, Main Injector
        proton beam focused onto the MTest target. The tests require a
        beam of untagged, charged particles of momentum 10 GeV/c or
        higher. We will also require a significant muon-only flux, which
        can be achieved by inserting the beam stop between MT6A and
        MT6B.

    2.  Intensity: Variable, in the range of 1-100 kHz per square cm. We
        require at least some intensity above 10 kHz/cm^2^.

2.3 SCHEDULE

> The goal is to deliver charged particles at the rate stated above for
> data taking as required by the R&D program over a significant period
> beginning in November, 2002. The group expects to run sporadically for
> about 3 months. The group expects to share beam time with other R&D
> efforts. Details are given in the section below labeled Run Plan.

### IV. Responsibilities by Fermilab Division

> (\[\] denotes replacement cost of existing hardware.)

## 4.1 Fermilab Beams Division

1.  Use of MTest beam line.

2.  Maintenance of all existing standard beam-line elements (such as
    SWICs, loss monitors, remotely-controlled finger counters, etc),
    instrumentation, controls, clock distribution and power supplies.

3.  Reasonably rapid access to our equipment in the test beam. Such
    access is anticipated to be less than once per hour, typically more
    like once per shift.

4.  Logic signal at experimenter electronics racks that has a constant
    phase (within 1-2 ns in a given hour) with respect to the arrival of
    beam buckets at the test apparatus.

5.  No experiment-owned devices need interfacing to the Beams Division
    control system, other than the possible readout of beam-line
    variables.

6.  Position and focus of the beam on the experimental devices under
    test will be under control of the BD Operations Department (MCR).
    Control of secondary devices that provide these functions may be
    delegated to the experimenters as long as it does not violate the
    Shielding Assessment or provide potential for significant equipment
    damage.

7.  The integrated effect of running this and other SY120 beams will not
    reduce the antiproton stacking rate by more than 5% globally, with
    the details of scheduling to be worked out between the experimenters
    and the Office of Program Planning.

## 4.2 Fermilab Particle Physics Division 

> The test-beam efforts in this MOU will make use of the Meson Test Beam
> Facility. Requirements for the beam and user facilities are given in
> Section 2. The Fermilab Particle Physics Division will be responsible
> for coordinating overall activities in the MTest beam-line, including
> any use of allowed user beam-line controls, readout of the beam-line
> detectors, and operation of the MTest gateway computer.

1.  Use of the gateway UNIX computer for interfacing and isolation of DA
    computers.

2.  Installation of quiet power (see Section 2.1.6) to detector
    enclosure if required to reduce noise in electronics. Provision of
    adequate air-conditioning and cooling for detectors and electronics
    in the beam area, the electronics alcove, and the counting room.

## 4.3 Fermilab Computing Division 

1.  The Liaison from the Computing Division is Dave Slimmer.

2.  The experimenters from Vanderbilt, Illinois, and Puerto Rico will
    write all necessary offline software. Most of this work has already
    been performed for the last beam test in the summer of 1999.

3.  The experimenters will reuse data acquisition code from the summer,
    1999 beam test. The experimenters plan to supply their own computer
    and CAMAC controller to read out the muon detector.

4.  Computer security for the pixel system in MTest will be organized by
    having wide-area networking for the DA computers through the Meson
    Test Facility gateway computer and via kerberized systems more
    directly attached to the networking backbone.

5.  Support of the networking in MTest, including access to a gateway
    computer and local networking between the gateway and DA computer(s)
    which will not have network access.

6.  PREP equipment. Vanderbilt currently has PREP equipment obtained by
    means of an offsite loan for the purpose of preparing and running in
    a test beam. This equipment will be transported to Fermilab and used
    in the test beam. Appendix 1 contains a list of currently checked
    out items. The estimated value of this equipment is \[\$ 50 K\].

7.  Maintenance and repair of the PREP equipment we have checked out is
    estimated to cost \$ 1 K.

### V. Special Considerations

5.1 The responsibilities of the BTeV Muon Test Beam Spokesperson and
procedures to be followed by experimenters are found in the Fermilab
publication \"Procedures for Experimenters\" (PFX). The Scientific
Spokesperson agrees to those responsibilities and to follow the
described procedures.

5.2 To carry out the experiment, a number of Environment, Safety and
Health (ES&H) reviews are necessary. The procedures to carry out these
various reviews, including a Partial Operational Readiness Clearance
document in conjunction with the standing Particle Physics Division
committee, are found in the Fermilab publication \"Review Procedures for
Experiments\" (RPX). The BTeV Muon Test Beam Spokesperson undertakes to
follow those procedures in a timely manner.

5.3 All regulations concerning radioactive sources will be followed. No
radioactive sources will be carried onto the site or moved without the
approval of the Fermilab ES&H section.

5.4 All items in the Fermilab Policy on Computing will be followed by
experimenters.

5.5 At the time of purchasing, the Fermilab procurement policies shall
apply.

5.6 For the purpose of estimating budgets, specific products and vendors
may be mentioned within this memorandum. At the time of purchasing, the
Fermilab procurement policies shall apply. This may result in the
purchase of different products and/or from different vendors.

5.7 The BTeV Muon Test Beam Spokesperson will ensure that at least one
person is present at the Meson Test Beam Facility whenever beam is
delivered.

5.8 The BTeV Muon Test Beam Spokesperson will undertake to ensure that
no PREP and computing equipment be transferred from the experiment to
another use except with the approval of and through the mechanism
provided by the Computing Division management. They also undertake to
ensure that no modifications of PREP equipment take place without the
knowledge and consent of the Computing Division management.

5.9 Each institution will be responsible for maintaining and repairing
both the electronics and the computing hardware supplied by them for the
experiment. Any items for which the experiment requests that Fermilab
performs maintenance and repair should appear explicitly in this
agreement.

5.10 If the experiment brings to Fermilab on-line data acquisition or
data communications equipment to be integrated with Fermilab owned
equipment, early consultation with the Computing Division is advised.

5.11 At the completion of the experiment:

5.11.1 The BTeV Muon Test Beam Spokesperson is responsible for the
return of all PREP equipment, computing equipment and non-PREP data
acquisition electronics. If the return is not completed after a period
of one year after the end of running the BTeV Muon Test Beam
Spokesperson will be required to furnish, in writing, an explanation for
any non-return.

5.11.2 The experimenters agree to remove their experimental equipment as
the Laboratory requests them to. They agree to remove it expeditiously
and in compliance with all ES&H requirements, including those related to
transportation. All the expenses and personnel for the removal will be
borne by the experimenters.

5.11.3 The experimenters will assist the Fermilab Divisions and Sections
with the disposition of any articles left in the offices they occupied,
including computer printout and magnetic tapes.

5.11.4 An experimenter will report on the test beam effort at a Fermilab
All Experimenters Meeting.

### APPENDIX II -- Offline Analysis Plan

[DATA PROJECTION]{.underline}

Based on the run plan outlined on page in Appendix III, we expect at
most a few tens of gigabytes of data. This will be stored on the DAQ
computer through the lifetime of the test beam run. It will also be
copied to computers located at the three participating institutions,
Vanderbilt, Illinois, and Puerto Rico.

[ANALYSIS PLAN]{.underline}

Analysis will be performed using computing facilities available at the
three collaborating institutions. Analysis computing will not be a
problem.

[REQUEST]{.underline}

No offline computing resources are requested from Fermilab. .

### APPENDIX III - Run Plan

We will construct a working system at Vanderbilt University using cosmic
rays. All of the equipment necessary is already available at Vanderbilt
University as a result of the offsite loan obtained from PREP. Thus,
once the MTest beam is stable we will be able to transport and install
the entire muon detector and readout system in a couple of days.

Run Plans:

1.  Goals:

The main goal of this beam test is to check that the current muon design
will work in a real world environment. Other goals including checking
rate limitations, various gas mixtures, and time resolution. We require
about 2 months of calendar time for a beam which is available 50% of the
time. Less available beam will extend this time but more beam will not
reduce it.

2.  Specific plans:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
a.  We will first test the muon detector in a standard moderate rate
    beam to check tube efficiency, random noise, and correlated noise.

b.  We will conduct some high rate tests of the detector. We would like
    to test the detector with rates as high as 100 kHz/cm^2^, if
    possible. This is about 30 times the maximum rate expected in the
    detectors in the BTeV environment.

c.  We will measure the gain, efficiency, plateau window, and time
    resolution of a variety of gas mixtures. We would like to study
    various mixtures of Ar:CO~2~ and Ar:CO~2~:CF~4~.

d.  We will also use the collected data to determine if TDCs would be
    useful in rejecting background or improving resolution as opposed to
    a simple binary signal within the accelerator clock window.
