Presentation Transcript

  1. T958-Phase II • Fermilab Test beam experiment to study fast timing counters for FP420 • UTA, Alberta, Louvain, Fermilab +Saclay, Stony Brook? • Data taking planned for Jan/Feb FP420 Collab meeting CERN Nov. 2, 2006

  2. FINAL SLIDE from Sep. 29 Update How to Proceed • Learned a lot (still learning) but MANY questions have to be answered before we are convinced we have a viable detector • Need better alignment, tracking, electronics, DAQ, analysis, management, etc. • Starting to plan for next test beam (Jan 10?, later?), {some cosmics in mean time?}

  4. GASTOF Prototype http://www.fynu.ucl.ac.be/themes/he/ggamma/Cherenkov/

  5. Upgrades: Detectors • New QUARTIC prototypes, with two rows of eight bars in new form fitting box, designed and constructed at Fermilab • New GASTOF prototypes, new dimensions, mirrors • Both plan to use new Burle 10 µ tubes (if available—have one, need four)

  6. T958 Electronics (Phase I) Amplifier : Hamamatsu Ortec Phillips Burle 8x8 MCP-PMT ADC (LeCroy 2249A) SMA Lemo Constant Fraction Discriminator Ortec 934 (9307) TDC (Phillips 7186) SMA NIM Trigger, CAMAC DAQ, in parallel tracking with MWPC

  7. Upgrades: Electronics • Louvain is designing a new board to replace the constant fraction discriminators • Alberta is designing a new board to combine the functionality of the amplifiers and CFDs • UTA is working on improving the performance of the Philips TDC • SACLAY might be able to help integrate the HPTDC chip into the readout (VME board) • Fermilab is working on an alternate solution for the TDC’s • The electronics are the limiting factor both in performance and schedule

  8. G1-G2 HV matters: better gain, smaller MCP jitter 2300 Need to optimize threshold+ amplification for each HV 2500

  9. Timing Resolution Components Detector specific: • G~2 ps, Q has other contributions: color dispersion (20 ps), position dependence (25 ps), number of pe’s (25 ps) Common: • PMT (50 psec single pe at max gain;30 for 10 um) • Amplifier/attenuator (actually different) • CFD (not all same) • TDC • CABLES/CONNECTORS (not all same) Need to standardize everything

  10. Tracking tracks projected to Q1 valid time in one Q1 bar y (mm) y (mm) beam “center” 10x15 mm 6 mm 25 mm 15 mm Analysis in progress, improvements planned 30 mm x (mm) x (mm)

  11. Phase I Results (in progress) G2-Q2_53 2300V G2~90 ps Q2~130 (Q2T~110) 2500V G2~65 Expect reduction in Q resolution by √3 (using 3 bars) from 130 to 75, observed ~80 ps; working on algo to use all data (2 issues—minimize individual channel resolution+ minimize overall time resolution)
