Backgrounds (NBG) & Trigger (εtrig)<br />

• Beam gas and beam halo:<br />

• Measure with unpaired bunches :<br />

0.13% of total event sample<br />

• “Afterglow”: cavern radiation<br />

produced after a collision<br />

• Out-of-time afterglow measured by<br />

unpaired bunches<br />

• In-time afterglow measured from<br />

fractions of late hits in MBTS (0.4%)<br />

• Take 100% uncertainty on<br />

backgrounds:0.42%<br />

• Trigger is single MBTS trigger hit:<br />

• Measured with respect to offline<br />

selection to be 99.98% with an<br />

uncertainty of 0.09%<br />
