Mu3e craned into the magnet for June test run
Today the Mu3e detector was craned from the statging area to the piE5 beam area, where we plan to take beam with final detector elements from all three subdetectors in June. - With video!
Collaboration Meeting in Wengen
The Mu3e collaboration met in Wengen for four days of intensive discussion of recent progress, detector construction and installation as well as plans for the coming months.
Marius Köppel defends his thesis on the Mu3e Data Acqusistion System
Marius Köppel has defended his PhD on the data acquisition system for Mu3e at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
Ian Shipsey
The Mu3e collaboration is deeply saddened to by the loss of our colleague and friend Professor Ian Shipsey, Head of Department of Physics in Oxford and co-lead of the Oxford Mu3e group.
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 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.
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.
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.
