Simulation studies on the Mu3e tile detector - Time alignment & clustering — •Erik Steinkamp and Maximilian Köper for the Mu3e collaboration — Kirchhoff Institute for Physics, Heidelberg University
The Mu3e experiment aims to detect the charged lepton flavor violating decay µ → eee with a target sensitivity of 10−16, improving the existing limit by four orders of magnitude. A successful observation would be a strong indicator for physics beyond the Standard Model. Precise timing information is needed to correctly identify the vertices of the three decay electrons and to suppress background from internal conversion decays and combinatorics. The tile detector, which utilizes scintillator tiles and SiPMs, aims to provide this precise time measurement of better than 100ps. To achieve this precision on the detector system level, a time calibration scheme using different event topologies to determine time offsets for every tile, is required. The obtained single-tile timestamps are clustered and matched to tracks from the tracking detectors. We present simulation studies of the time calibration routine, as well as clustering and track-tile matching.
