Status of MRPC calibrations for the endcap-time-of-flight upgrade of STAR — •Philipp Weidenkaff for the CBM collaboration — Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg

As part of the FAIR phase 0 program, CBM-ToF MRPC modules have been installed as endcap-time-of-flight detectors in STAR for the upcoming beam-energy-scan II. These detectors will provide a major improvement to the particle identification capability of the experiment in the forward region (1.0 < η < 1.5), which is especially necessary for the planned fixed target program. A parallelized calibration scheme for the MRPC detectors has been developed inside the StROOT framework. Current status of this calibration scheme and the detector performance in the 2018 test runs will be presented in this talk.

The project is partially founded by BMBF 05P15VHFC1.
