  1. Prototype Installation in Ferrara and plans for cosmic run W. Baldini on behalf of the Ferrara SuperB Group XVI SuperB General Meeting, LNF Apr.04-07 2011

  2. The testbeam @ Fermilab • The prototype was tested on beam at Fermilab on Dec. 1-7 2010 at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility (FBTF) • Data Analysis is ongoing (see Gigi’s talk) and first results are encouraging • Few things to be better understood though (i.e. strange behaviour of PB 1&2 • In February all pizza boxes have been shipped back to Ferrara • Re-assembling is finished and the DAQ is being restarted (not so trivial…)

  3. DAQ-Man Prototype installation in Ferrara • The prototype is now installed and re-connected in Ferrara • The configuration is the same as in Fermilab: • Same Pizza Box configuration (CP1 now) • Distances among PB are the same as in the prototype • No Iron • DAQ setting up under way • The plan is: • Restart everything exactly as it was at Fermilab • Use a stable configuration to take cosmics overnight • During the day make changes/improvements in order to optimize the system for the next test beam Pizza Boxes

  4. Plans for cosmic data taking • We plan to take cosmic data overnight • At the very beginning triggering with the upper and lower-most layers, mainly for debugging purposes • As soon as we reach a stable condition, switch to an external scintillator trigger and measure: • Efficiency and time resolution for different SiPM bias voltages (to understand a strange behaviour of some PB @ the testbeam) • Number of p.e./mip for the different combinations of scintillator-fibers-SiPM (at the testbeam not enough time…) • Test the special module with MPPC (not tested at the Dic. testbeam) • Comparison with testbeam data

  5. Preparation for the next testbeam • Understand Dec. testbeam issues (e.g SiPM bias), • Improve/test as much as possible the DAQ with cosmics • Exploit the previous experience to optimize the next data taking: • Cerenkov cables: prepare 75W 50W adapters • larger S3,S4 scintillator (?) • Faster S1-S2 scintillator (or use the TOF) • …. Other?? • Cerenkov gas: check if the bottle is still full • Organize the expedition well in advance.. (>3weeks)
