  7. Sorces at different distances seen by each PMT: unique feature Made at Genova INFN electrodeposited ( solution) on a gold-plated W wire 0.5 mm spots 12.4 cm apart (2 PMTs) Wire thickness: 50 (alpha range ~40  ) Wire suspended with springs Wires A,B = 100 Bq/source (LP front face) Wires C,D = 30 Bq/source (LP back face) A Czech Republic firm can provide a suitable wire in which Am on foils is attached to wires by thermocompression 2) Calibrations: alpha sources spots on wires (test in LP: oct 04) LP Front face Lateral face

  24. PREVIOUS eg EXPERIMENT 1982 !!

  25. NOW: GLAST SPACE EXPERIMENT CRYSTAL CALORIMETER CALIBRATION 180 cm target-pipe It is the old VDG of the Crystal Ball experiment ! ! they have some problems: old device, max. VDG p-energy is 400 KeV out of resonance: -rate reduced by factor  5000 Stiamo discutendo sui possibili modi per l’approvvigionamento di un acceleratore adatto ai nostri scopi

  26. 3) Trigger La progettazione del PCB per le schede di tipo1 e’ entrata nella fase di routing delle connessioni, avendo quindi gia’ controllato lo schema elettrico e i footprints. La progettazione del PCB per le schede di tipo2 e’nella fase di verifica degli schemi elettrici. Con il finanziamento legato allo sblocco in oggetto, procederemo in marzo alla produzione dei PCB ed al loro montaggio per verificare le schede finali. A Luglio completeremo il test delle schede finali al PSI (milestone del trigger) e quindi potremo procedere alla produzione di massa. + contingency

  27. 4) Cryostat: designs ready; tenders and procurements organization • Tenders have been organized in three parts: • Conventional part • Cold and warm windows O. • Purchasing of the cold sealing O. • PMTs supporting structure S. • The tender procedure has been completed for the conventional part. • SIMIC has won the tender for the best price and for other reasons. • This company is going to purchase a low magnetic permeability stainless steel (<1.008) and will perform the cold test at the company. We visited the company to warn them about the project difficulty, remarking our requirements in term of level of cleanness and tightness written in the tender technical specification. • The company, if it will receive in time the cold and warm window and the cold sealing, estimated a fabrication time of 10th month. Finanziato nel 2004 (200 K€) Totale offerte e stima circa 160 K€

  28. Cold and warm windows • FEA studies are in progress. • Honeycomb structure has been discussed with manufacturing companies • We are trying to subdivide the fabrication and qualification of the window to be able to maintain the cost as low as possible • We have separated the following activities. • Mechanical test ( Mech. Dept Univ of Pisa) • Test box and welded parts (Mechanical design INFN (Pisa) manufacturing with proper company) • Tooling and molds are going to be designed by INFN (Pisa) • Honeycomb structure (Composite aerospace company)

  29. FEA studies are in progress

  30. Honeycomb structure discussed with manufacturing company Honeycomb structure Two facing of .7 mm CFRP. (intermediate high module CF with Epoxy space approved) Core aluminum honeycomb perforated This area is reinforced Internal welded foil .3 mm or less welded on external Frame necessary to test the window prior the final welding on the cryostat body. Bolted area

  31. Honeycomb structure has been discussed with manufacturing company Using thin facing material makes difficult to obtain high tolerance, even if we use a flex core material, not available in perforated aluminum. This area is reinforced Precision must been obtained on this side for this reason the honeycomb must rest on the mold on this side

  32. Cold joints: interaction with the factory Modification of bolts position and number We asked a seal no-magnetic

  33. Pisa 30-December-2004 Cold joints

  39. Fine

  40. Zener diodes in the last two ampl. stages of the base presently installed T=-108ºC PMT with Zener

  41. Positive pulses with total positive charge are seen! (rate ~300 Hz @ V>20 mV) The problem is present ONLY at liquid Xe temperature: disappears during warm-up The pulse is not present when the Zener diodes are removed Zener problem at low temperature

  42. Several Zener diode types tried

  43. Results: FairChild

  44. What next ? • Work in closer contact with Hamamatsu: find a solution with them (test more diodes?) • Test bases in clode for longer periods • We could survive with this behaviour (only a low percentage of the events are affected) but we want to solve it before PMTs delivery • Different base schemes ?
