The automatic procedure doing QA of spectra was set up in order to preserve only good looking spectra as shown in the fig 0 below.
Fig 0 Good spectra for random strips in module=2. X-axis shows pedestal residua. It is shown to set a scale for the bad strips shown below.
INPUT: 3M d-AU events from day ~336 of 2007.
All spectra were pedestals subtracted, using one value per strip, CAPS=123,124,125 were excluded. Below I'll use term 'ped' instead of more accurate pedestal residuum.
Method: fit slopes to ADC =ped+40,ped+90 or 5*sig(ped) if too low.
The spectra, fits of pedestal residuum, and slopes were QAed.
QA method was set up as sequential series of cuts, upon failure later cuts were not checked.
Note, BSMD rate 4 had old resistors in day 366 of 2007 and was excluded from this analysis.
This reduces # of strips from 18,000 to 15,750 .
cut# | cut code | description | # of discarded strips | figure |
1 | 1 | at least 10,000 entries in the MPV bin | 4 | - |
2 | 2 | MPV position within +/-5 ADC channels | 57 | Fig 1 |
3 | 4 | sig(ped) of gauss fit in [1.6,8] ADC ch | 335 | Fig 2 |
4 | 8 | position of mean gauss within +/- 4 ADC | 11 | Fig 3 |
5 | 16 | yield from [ped+40,ped+90] out of range | 441 | Fig 4 |
6 | 32 | chi2/dof from slop fit in [0.6,2.5] | 62 | Fig 5 |
7 | 64 | slopeError/slop >16% | 4 | Fig 6 |
8 | 128 | slop within [-0.015, -0.05] | 23 | Fig 7 |
- | sum | out of processed 15,750 strips discarded | 937 ==> 5.9% |

Fig 8a Distribution of # of bad strips per module.
BSMDE modules 10,31,68 are damaged above 50%+. Ymax was set to 150, i.e. to the # of eat strips per module. Modules 16-30 served by crate 4 were not QAed.

TOP: slopes. There is room for gain improvement in the offline analysis. At fixed eta (vertical line) there should be no color variation.
