Outlook for p+p
¥The correlations between T0 counters observed in d+Au
is troublesome. Crosstalk is
clearly playing a role, but it is not clear that it can explain all our
observations.
¥The trouble with individual time signals does not
impact the T0 OR, which is what is being used for the trigger,
¥The multiplicities in p+p are much lower than the
multiplicities in d+Au and for most events there will be only one T0 counter
firing. The OR signal will thus
carry the time information provided by this counter.
¥The individual times should also be OK, except we
might need to use different calibration parameters, depending on the channels
being hit.
