Abstract:
|
A prototype of the Muon Telescope Detector (MTD ) was installed at STAR (Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC ) during run year 2007 . While the cosmic and beam tests showed a ~ 60 - 70 ps timing resolution for MTD , the actual performance in Au + Au collisions at STAR was found ~300 ps . In run year 10 STAR implemented a new electronics system for MTD and a cosmic ray trigger to study the performance of its several subsystems . With the cosmic ray data , this study shows that the timing resolution of MTD can reach 99 ps after a full calibration . |
