Preliminary results on RB1 chambers at GIF A. Colaleo 13 March 2003

This document presents preliminary results from long aging tests of RB1 chambers at GIF, including tests with high photon flux irradiation and without irradiation. The chambers were tested under different run conditions to check each single and double gap. The results include hit rates, currents, cluster sizes, and voltage values.

  1. Preliminary results on RB1 chambers at GIF • A. Colaleo • 13 March 2003 • Long aging tests of full size chambers : test under high photon flux irradiation and without irradiation and check with SPS muon beam • Test periods • November 2002– March 2003 : aging test without close loop gas system • March 2003 until end-of-year: start test with close loop gas system. • SPS muon beam: 15 days as main usersin June-July and run parasitically during the rest of time.

  2. Edge of the chamber is now at 20 cm from the beam line (1st position ) a) 350 cm 80 cm (20 posit) 204 cm (30 posit) Chambers need to be moved during the beam test. 2nd position during beam test : 80 cm from the current position 3rd position during beam : 204 cm from the current position

  3. Chamber position in the GIF area Cham 25 source f b 80 cm Cham 26 3.5 m

  4. Layout of the chambers Strip 1 Strip 1 Strip 90 Strip 90 125 cm 116 cm • Different run conditions to check each single gap and double gap : • double gaps : chamber 25 and chamber 26 HV ON • up gaps HV ON and down gaps HV OFF • down gaps HV ON and up gaps HV OFF

  5. Operation conditions in CMS Barrel Rate: 30 Hz/cm2 (safety factor included) Average total charge: 30 pC Effective operation time: 5x107 s (10 LHC years) The total expected charge is be 5 10-2 C/cm2 Operation condition at the GIF at ABS 1: Hit rate: Photon flux at ~3.5 m : Sensitivity to 662 keV photons: Foreseen hit rate: A lot of different detectors and materials in front of the source: We will collect Need 4 months of full GIF operation at ABS1 to collect 5 10-2 C/cm2 : Safety factor 3 : we need 1 year

  7. First results on RB1 tests • 4 sets of data available at the moment • 25 November (test 1) • 9 December (test 2) • 1 February (test 3) • 7 March (test 4) • Data were taken under the following conditions • Source off • Filters 1 (ABS1) during the 4 tests • Filters 10 (ABS10) during 2 tests • Filters 2 (ABS2) during the first test • Results on • rate (by cluster counting) • currents • cluster size • Hit rate profile • Voltage values are normalized at T=293 K, P=1010 mbar • Gas Mixture: C2H2F4 /C4H10 /SF6 = 94.6/5.1/0.3 • Electronics threshold: 200 mV single and double gap results

  8. Rate by cluster counting All hits registered from consecutive strips within 25 ns time window are combined into a cluster. All clusters inside 1.6 s TDC window are taken into account to evaluate the rate. Test 1 Chamber 25: Double gap results Comparison ABS 1-ABS 2- ABS10 T=293 K, P=1010 mbar
