In Brief…
• Pi/Mu separation runs at CalDet this year
• Pi/Mu dE/dX
• Plane efficiency
• Pion contamination of muon sample

Test beam to CERN East Hall contains electrons, pions, muons, kaons, protons, deuteronsPions usually shower but occasionally look identical to muonsSpecial Cerenkov runs: over and under pion threshold
1.8 GeV

Range > 40 to remove electrons
Both(muons): 3176, 3not1(pions): 806, 1not3: 427, neither: 4189
Cerenkov 3: 85% efficient, good agreement with MK

Cov cut doesn’t get all PS muons and eat lots of real muons
Also try correcting for plane efficiencies

Plane 2 and 6 hit… was plane 4 hit?
Blue: Plane 2 and 4 hit… was plane 0 hit?

Sum of deposited energy
60 keV / sigcorr ADC
33.96 MeV deposited per plane (averaged along entire track)
27.96 MeV / plane expected from Bethe-Bloch
(25.86 + 2.1 + 0.0031)

15% back to pions, 2.25% to muons
Far more muons than expected
Jan 8 2004 Cambridge Collaboration Meeting

Conclusion
Many PS muons
Cov 3 about 85% efficient
CalDet plane efficiency about 88%
Range cut much more successful than Cov cut
Focussing magnets may have deviated
60 keV / sigcorr ADC
Many more muons than expected w.r.t. pions
