  2. Activity for Project Year 2 • PDR (7/15/03) • Tank development • Field season plans • Test stations • DAQ • Simulations • Other • Summary

  3. Review of IceTop Design (ItDD) • Goals • Calibration • Veto & Tag • Cosmic Ray Science • Cover surface above IceCube with air-shower detectors • Water Cerenkov tanks (Auger) • Build on in-ice engineering

  4. Requirements (7/15 PDR) • IceTop (overall plan to achieve science goals) • Station • Tanks • Construction • Liner • Water • DOMs • Cables • Deployment Support Equip. • Logistics • Deployment sequence (feedback to design issues) • Freezing equipment • Freeze monitoring • Counting house • DOM Hubs • Compute platforms for DAQ • Network Infrastructure • DAQ • FPGA Firmware • DOM app/DOM Hub • Post Hub (data handlers/triggers) • Integration • Test & development facilities

  5. Tank Design • Top Down Design • Tank construction at Winchester • Degas system • Liner

  6. Shootout at POW Top-down tank Bottom-up tank (with two rows of insulation remaining)

  7. And the winner is… • Top down. (Bottom up is still a backup plan) • Comparable engineering difficulties • TD more mature & better studied • Limited resources • Modifications from POW • In tank, cheaper, more efficient degasser • Sunscreen • Thinner side insulation • Rigid cover (notshown) • Rigid heated relief tube

  11. Degasser performance New (1 & 2 channels) Old (8 channels) • Similar efficiency at larger flow rate • 25 cc/s vs 0.75 cc/s per channel • Much cheaper! • Some H2O permeability: purge system

  12. Search for Moby Tank • Tyvek has good optical properties but… • Inconvenient to install • Uncertain fiducial volume • Wrinkles • Oreo tank with TiO2 • UV not so good • MgO • UV ok • SiO2 • UV similar to MgO • Easier to use with polyethelene.

  13. Season plans • Logistics/Deployment • Engineering tests • Tank freezing time • Ice quality • Functional TestDAQ • DOM MB temperature • Seasonal thermal changes in tank • Data goals • In situ operation • Muon calibration • Shower spectrum

  15. IceTop season plan (all dates approximate) • Shipping • Assemble equipment (Nov 10-16) • Deployment (Nov 17-23) • Mark tank location at SPASE • Excavation • Deliver tanks & equipment to site • Install sun-shield (temporary cover during freezing) • Lay out cables • Connect freezing equipment • Install DOMs (physical – not logical) • Fill with water • Survey (Tanks and SPASE stations) (Nov 24-30 or earlier) • Monitor freezing (Nov 23 – Dec 30 (40 day nominal) • Manage excess water • Install DAQ (Dec 29-Jan 20) • Close Tanks (Jan 12-26) • Insulate top of ice • Remove sun-shield; install plywood cover • Cover for dark operation of PMTs

  16. Positioning IceTop test tanks

  17. Freeze model (UD version) • 2 zone model for POW freeze • Modified for Pole • Nominal 40 day freeze • Parameter study Ta = -20, -40 K ca = 5, 25 W / m2 K Pp = 0, 60 W

  18. Freeze in (Bit-7 version) • FEA analysis • Air/Ice: no wind** • Water: enhanced diffusion • 50 days (< 50 cm ice) • No pump: 40 days

  19. TestDAQ components • 4 DOMs (Rev-2 EXPA-1) • Local (http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~kitamura/icetop.htm) • DOM Hub (Rack + DOR card) • Cables • Quads • Coincidence cables • Connectors • Test DAQ (software/firmware) • not production IceTop DAQ • Non-icecube components • Muon telescope (SPASE modules) • Common Clock

  20. Data Goals • Install TestDAQ (U Wisc) • Installation by UW • Exercise TestDAQ • Operate DOMs • Pedestal • SPE • Set operational mode for IceTop data taking • Test Muon Calibration • Purpose: technique for full-up calibration • Additional Hardware • Muon telescope (SPASE scintillator modules) • Need coincidence between two DAQs • Shower spectrum • Offline analyis with SPASE • Test coincidence between tanks (may need revised FPGA app)

  21. Operating Tank Facilities • South Pole • 2000, 2001 test tanks (Ice) (OMs) • 2003 IceTop test station (DOMs) • UD (housed at IEC) • Presently one tank (OM) • Plans for full station (2) (DOMs) • UWRF • 1 tank (OM  DOM)

  23. IEC Test Facility • Initial – White poly tank • 5/28 Fill • 5/30 1 PE waveforms • 5/30-6/9 Muon runs w/telescope • 6/17-20 More muon runs w/tele • 6/20-7/2 Install tyvek liner • 7/2 Fill • 7/3-7 Muon runs w/tele • 7/7-10 Muon calibration study wo/telescope • 8/5 Open tank for inspection • Stand down for other priorities • 10/15 Restart operations • 11/1 Second Tank (Tyvek) • ?/?/04 4 DOMs + Hub?

  24. Muon telescope runs Summary • White PE underperforms wrt Tyvek • Path length dominates • Paths “close” to PMT have shoulder in charge/peak distributions • Response degrades slowly over time (~1% / week) • Need full up simulation to understand details • Need to study surface properties in lab Contact Bai for Details
