Trigger counter studies for the ALFA detector

The ALFA detector aims for precise luminosity measurement by using elastic pp-scattering under small angles [1]. The tracking detectors are made of staggered scintillating fiber planes triggered by several scintillator tiles. Since the absolute rate measurement of scattered protons is needed for the...

description The ALFA detector aims for precise luminosity measurement by using elastic pp-scattering under small angles [1]. The tracking detectors are made of staggered scintillating fiber planes triggered by several scintillator tiles. Since the absolute rate measurement of scattered protons is needed for the luminosity determination, the best knowledge of the trigger efficiency is crucial. The 2007 test beam campaign at DESY was devoted to find among several combinations of tile coatings, light guides and PMTs those with the maximum light yield and best uniformity over the tile surface.
