Contents
• Monitoring the liquid xenon (LXe) detector during physics data taking– Light yield– Detector gain
• Performance in 2009– Energy– Position– Detection efficiency

LXe detector

beam line
Monitoring tools of LXe detector• Cockcroft-Walton accelerator
– Nuclear reaction by protons– Li(p, )Be 14.6, 17.6MeV– B(p, )C 4.4, 11.7MeV– Useful to monitor the light yield and
to check the uniformity of detector response
• LED, 241Am source and cosmic ray– Monitor in both beam on and off
• PMT gain affected by beam current, which is corrected but to be confirmed.
– Alpha events triggered even in + beam since 2009• - separation improved by the change of the scintillation property
• Checked the stability of the light yield and of the detector gain

Monitoring light yield• Reached full intensity in 2009• Purification finished before 2009
physics run• Checked the stability of the light yield
– Use 17.6MeV Li peak by CW accelerator (3times / week)

Monitoring the detector in beam• The light yield was stable but PMT gain shifted with + beam
• The shift is measured using LED and it's corrected depending on beam status• We confirmed that the detector was stable
by monitoring LED, , cosmic ray

• Stable within the precision of each monitoring
from 241Am Cosmic rayLED
Energy reconstruction• Energy
• The number of scintillation photons = (weight x PMT charge / gain / Q.E.) x energy scale x correction factor
• Energy scale determined at 55MeV in 0 run near signal 53MeV ray• Correction factor for the change of the light yield and non-uniformity
• The light yield was stable so not used in 2009• Non-uniformity of the scintillation-photons detection measured by Li peak
– Intrinsic non-uniformity exists due to the current reconstruction method– Observed the change with light yield increased in 2008– Non-uniformity differs from 2008 results after light yield completely increased– Make correction factor for 2009 run

Energy linearity / resolution• Checked linearity and energy resolution by various energies

Position measurement• Reconstruct position by the light distribution
on inner face• Position resolution in 2009 was measured
with a new lead collimator– Long slits along the beam axis are prepared
– Estimate a bias of absolute position on a long line – 1cm and 5mm slits with 1.8cm thickness are prepared
– Put in front of the detector in 0 run

Detection efficiency• Lower energy tail of energy distribution is taken into account
– Interaction with material before reaches acceptance of LXe detector– Leakage of photons near the detector's face
• Absolute detection efficiency obtained from Monte Carlo simulation– Signal with position dependence : 67% (E > 46MeV)
• Consistency check by 0→2 between measurement and MC– Counts coincident 2 decay in LXe detector tagged by the NaI– Set energy region, no analysis cut– 67% in 2009 with twice amount of data in 2008
• Consistent with 66% in 2008– 4% difference between data and MC

Conclusions
• Checked the stable operation during physics data taking in 2009
• Performance in 2009 with the increased light yield and upgraded waveform digitizer is almost the same as 2008 result (preliminary)
– Energy resolution to be 2.0% average– 67ps LXe timing and 180ps of -e+ timing in previous talk– 5mm with 0.7mm bias of reconstructed position
• 67% detection efficiency in 0 run is consistent with 2008
• Investigating more proper calibration and analysis
