Beam test of the scintillating fibres at MAMI un Mainz

The Mu3e scintillating fibre detector was tested using the electron beam of MAMI at the institute of nuclear physics in Mainz. The MuPix pixel detectors were used as a refernce.

Fourth Mu3e Data Challenge

Fourth Data Challenge

The Mu3e data challenges aim at establishing the data processing and storage procedures as well as the online monitoring tools. To this end, we use simulated data to test all involved systems and further develop the code. In the forth edition, we aimed at incorporating the farm FPGAs, GPU selection and advanced subdetector monitoring tools.

Third Data Challenge

The Mu3e data challenges aim at establishing the data processing and storage procedures as well as the online monitoring tools. Using simulated data, we developed monitoring tools, event displays and control over all the data flows. We also prepared cabling the detector with optical fibres.

Mu3e data fibre fanout rack

DAQ installations at PSI

We have installed the data acquisition hardware and cabling needed for early Mu3e running at PSI. The fibre fan-out rack, which serves as a switch-yard for TBits/s of data as well as clock, reset and configuration lines is fully set up.

Mu3e Wenegen Meeting 2024 - Group Picture

Collaboration Meeting in Wengen

The Mu3e collaboration met four four days in Wengen. We discussed in detail the steps needed to build and integrate the detector and how to calibrate and control it. Further sessions were dedicated to on- and offline analysis of first data. 
 

Thesis Defense Ben Gayther

Ben Gayther successfully defends his thesis

Ben Gayther developed calibration algorithms, carried out detailed studies on the use of timing information in reconstruction, and contributed to the integration run at PSI. He has now successfully defended his thesis at University College London.
