This section defines the total set of provided cluster types. There will be specific cluster types provided for all the expected detector types. A generic cluster type will be provided to cater for simple additional detectors.
Each Ge detector will be BGO-vetoed in software either by use of BGO
ADCs or pattern registers resulting in one Ge energy ADC per detector.
The total number of
detectors may be variable. The time range for accepting
detectors into a cluster must be specified.
The cluster-specific action will be to define the number of detectors (fold) forming an acceptable cluster.
The required/optional flag on each parameter will be ignored since we are dealing with a group of similar parameters controlled by cluster-specific action routines.
It is expected that this detector will always provide 6 parameters (Energy-Loss, Left, Right, Up, Down, TofTac).
The time range for accepting parameters into a cluster must be specified.
There will be one detector of 60 by 40 strips on each side of the central axis. It is anticipated that the detectors are best treated as a single cluster.
Each detector consists of two orthogonal sets of strips. A hit will produce two signals (X, Y) defining the position, and each signal also providing an energy value. Hence the cluster will consist of at least four groups of parameters.
It is also anticipated that more than one X/Y pair could fire. The cluster-specific action will be to allow one or more adjacent positions to be accepted for each axis, subject to at least one X and one Y firing.
Each detector can generate an Energy signal only.
It is expected that one or more detectors will be hit due to multiple incident electrons and scatters.
Each detector consists of two orthogonal sets of strips. A hit will produce two signals (X, Y) giving the position, and each signal also providing an energy value. Hence each cluster will consist of two groups of parameters.
It is also anticipated that more than one X/Y pair could fire. The cluster-specific action will be to allow one or more hits to be accepted for each axis, subject to at least one X and one Y firing.
There will be one detector with 4 inner contact segment signals and 16 outer contact signals.
Acceptance will require at least one inner contact signal together with any outer contact signals present in the defined time range.
