The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The Target Chamber Post Veto detector removes significant trigger background caused by particles striking the posts located at small scattering angles.

C2weakest assumption

That beam-tail particles striking the posts produce detectable signals that can be vetoed at the trigger level without introducing new inefficiencies or dead-time in the main acceptance.

C3one line summary

A custom veto detector was designed and installed in the MUSE target chamber to eliminate background events from beam tails striking support posts at the trigger level.
