Life with LabView • Text Based Programmer • Week and a half learning • Began coding, learned as I went • ActiveX controls, DAQmx Functions • LabView source is very messy (spaghetti code) • Powerful GUI’s • Excellent debugger
COUPP • COUPP (Chicagoland Observatory for Underground Particle Physics) • 60 kg bubble chamber underground to avoid cosmic rays • Works to detect Dark Matter; can detect Gamma rays, neutrinos, muons, alpha, WIMPs, etc • CF3I(Trifluoroiodomethane) sensitive to both spin-dependent and spin-independent WIMP interactions • Ideal temperature for each particle detection 60°C 40°C 40°C Muon Neutron(s) WIMP
SNOLAB • Underground physics Laboratory in Ontario, Canada (2km) • Specializes in neutrino and DM physics • Located in Vale Creighton Mine (Active Mine) S- Sudbury N- Neutrino O- Observatory
The Job • Highly sensitive microphone • Neutron vs. WIMP • Neutron single scatter sounds exactly like WIMP • Multiple neutron scatter is distinguishable • Acoustic signature differentiates • Dark Matter nucleation has a much higher acoustic sound
WIMP’s • Weakly Interactive Massive Particles • Could comprise of most if not all DM in the universe • React with weak force and gravity, no electromagnetism, difficult to see, no strong force so do not react well with atomic nuclei • Shares properties with neutrinos except large mass thus slower and cold
Dark Matter • Matter inferred to exist because of gravitational effects on visible matter • Neither emits nor scatters light or other EM radiation • Would account for discrepancies between calculations of the mass of galaxies
So Why… • What we know about the world makes up only 4% of the universe • The other 96% is divided into two parts, Dark Energy and Dark Matter
The Old Bubble Chamber • Charged Magnetic field • Particle Detector • Particles influenced by magnetic field
COUPP’s Bubble Chambers • Revived technology of particle physics • Used to detect WIMPs • Filled with superheated fluid (CF3I) • Depositing a small amount of energy can nucleate the formation of an easily visible bubble • Effectively blind to the largest category of backgrounds • Progress in rejecting alpha recoils by using acoustic signature of bubble formation
When DM Passes • Note: WIMP’s rarely interact with ordinary matter • DM particle passes through bubble chamber • Collides with a nuclei • Elastic scatter, energy released • Triggers evaporation of small amount of CF3I • Resulting bubble grows • Digital cameras catch the process once bubble reaches 1 mm in size • Data stored for analysis • However, the previous acoustic sensors were giving off background radiation themselves, turned towards interferometry
Interferometry • Family of techniques in which electromagnetic waves are superimposed (place over) in order to extract information about the waves • Used in the fields of astronomy, fiber optics, engineering metrology, optical metrology, oceanography, seismology, quantum mechanics, nuclear/particle physics, plasma physics, remote sensing, and bimolecular interactions
Interferometers • Single beam is split them combined, halves travel different routes • Amplitude Splitting- primary wave is divided into two segments which travel different paths before recombining • Separate waves are combined to show some meaningful property that is diagnostic of the original state of the waves (superposition) • Routes cause a phase difference between the initially identical waves because of the unequal distances traveled by each beam • Quality of the interferometer depends on the positions of the mirrors being precisely stable
Interferometers cont’d • 2 waves of same frequency combine and result is determined by phase difference, decides constructive or destructive interference • 1 crest 1 trough destructive interference (cancel) • 2 crests constructive interference (add) • Resulting total light field’s amplitude is sum of amplitudes of superimposed beams • Interference fringe- bands caused by beams of light that are in phase or out of phase with one another
The Interferometer’s Role • Interferometer- instrument used to measure waves through interference patterns • Closed Laser, laser travels through optical fibers, laser couplers • Fibers detect the characteristic acoustic sound of a DM bubble nucleation
Interference • Two or more light beams superimposed • Spatial and temporal overlap of the two light fields • Coherence (fixed phase relationship between the electric field values at different locations or at different times) of the two light fields • Spatial coherence- a strong correlation (fixed phase relationship) between the electric fields at different locations across the beam profile, similar amplitudes • Temporal coherence means a strong correlation between the electric fields at one location but different times, tells how monochromatic a source is or how well it can interfere with itself
Interferometers are ubiquitous VLA (Very Large Array)- 27 telescopes giving 351 independent baselines at once, radio array Astronomical Interferometry
Mach-Zehnder Interferometer • Used to determine relative phase shift between two nearly parallel beams from a coherent light source • High coherence light from laser is split into reference and sensor arm then recombined • Photodetector measures combined light intensity
fiber couplers Instead of beam splitters and fibers Instead of open source External influence (noise)
Intro to Fiber Optics • Optical fiber- thin, flexible fiber that acts as a waveguide, transmitting light between the two ends of the fiber • Also used for illumination, wrapped in bundles • Immune to EM interference • light goes through with few hindrances compared to electrical cables (better) • Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)- each fiber can carry many independent channels with light of different wavelengths • Multimode fibers- fibers that support many waves, efficient, cheaper • Single mode fibers- fibers that support a single wave, few hindrances • Good sensors for strain, temperature, pressure (DM sensor)
Laser Basics • Laser emit amplified light (electromagnetic radiation) with high spatial and temporal coherence • At higher temperatures, more current is needed to get the same power • Cold = more power • Window between effective output current and breaching max operating current is slim • Diode- semiconductor with 2 terminals, flows one way
Wavelength stabilized single mode fiber coupled laser diode • 5mW of 1300nm (wavelength) -infrared • Low threshold current and high slope efficiency • Operating temperature range: -40ºC 50ºC • Built-in monitor photodiode, thermo-electric cooler, and thermistor
LASER SPLIT
Optiphase PZ1 • Fiber wound piezoelectric element (transfers electrical to mechanical) • Takes in voltage, displaces the optical fiber to get rid of phase differences between 2 beams • High-speed fiber stretcher
Sensor • Optical Fibers • Picks up noise

PID Controller • Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is the most common control algorithm used in industry and has been universally accepted in industrial control • generic control loop feedback mechanism used in industrial control systems • Attempts to minimize error by adjusting process control inputs • PID feedback loop fixes the phase difference between the two beams and keeps the ideal fringe (light/dark; constructive/destructive) • PID Controls • P- Proportional (Kp) • I- Integral (Ki) • D- Derivative (Kd)
The “Car” Analogy • A car’s cruise control is a PID Controller
PID Theory • P Response- determines ratio of output response to error signal • controls the speed of the control system response • depends on error (set point – process variable) • can cause process variable to oscillate and system to become unstable • I Response- sums error over time (past error) • increases more as the error term increases • D Response- predicts future error • causes output to decrease if process variable is increasing rapidly • increases with rate of change • very sensitive to noise
PID Equation • U(t) = controller output • MV(t)= manipulated variable • Kp= proportional gain, constant • Ki = Integral gain, constant • Kd = Derivative gain, constant • E = error (Set Point – Process Variable) • T = Time
