We are now working with 2 microscope: 1st Microscope Official setup: MICOS stage NIkON optics and illuminator DALSA camera cad-4
Recently several hardware problems with this setup:• fault counting on stage encoders: compromised repeatability of measurements (Now fixed) • motion instability of the stage (5-20 micron) (Unresolved) • Image quality of camera seriously degraded (Unresolved)
2nd Microscope Prototype setup:
MICOS stage
ZEISS optics (40X) and fiber optic illumination
Custom CMOS camera interfaced to Genesis (Thanks to Salerno group for the Genesis boards)
Microscope used mainly for test (see Gabriele talk)fine tuning not yet concludedNot ready for the ACQ
• 8 emulsions sheets after 1.6 cm of Lead (from 25 to 32) • 7 angles
• Tracks density: 5-7 /mm2 (pions and muons)
• 1.1 X 1.1 cm2 scanned surface on each emulsion sheet
Due to HD problems results are relative to Dec presentation in Salerno
Top : 352 microtracks/view
Bottom : 302 microtracks/view
Top microtracks in fiducial marks coordinates
Vertigo Scan Configuration : 20 Layers over 44 microns
Focus lock on center level (2-3 levels are “empty”)
Base tracks are uniformly distributed in the scanned area:
253 tracks/mm2 /|θ|<0.6 rad
How we select the signal:
•Rectangular cut |θx| < 0.72 && | θy+0.007|< 0.015
•Gaussian fits over a flat background
• each peak is selected inside 3σ
Total signal = 2269 Background = 142
Signal :
27 tracks/mm2
Outside the beam angular region

We performed alignment and tracking with FEDRA and AlphaOmega, the results are
comparable .
415 tracks with 8 segments are reconstructed
= (84±2)% overall
Thanks to Napoli and Salerno Labs, we measured the plate #29:
• 1cm2 measured twice @ Napoli: signal tracks inside 3σ (NA-1 e NA-2)
• 1cm2 measured twice @ Salerno: signal tracks inside 3σ (SA-1 e SA-2)NA-1

74% of prediction tracks has been measured in Bologna
Our guess: part of inefficiency is due to a non exhaustive trigger list.
We continue to use a MC approach to improve this point.
Data and MC tracks are not directly comparable: MC is used as an external tool to validate the method.
An additional code has been written to find out the best trigger list.
An interface to use Tracking has been written

The comprehension of the efficiency problem is still incomplete. In particular:
At the level of the microtrack;At the level of microtrack linking.
Work in progress on the background evaluation. Preliminary results are encouraging.
