  1. MPPC update S.Gomi, T.Nakaya, M.Yokoyama, M.Taguchi, (Kyoto University) T.Nakadaira (KEK) Nov.8.2006 KEK

  2. Contents • We obtain the latest sample of MPPC this October. • Ceramic package, prepared for T2K experiment. • 100pixel×10, 400pixel×10 • We measured the fundamental performance of this sample. • Gain • Noise rate • Cross-talk rate • Photon detection efficiency ( PDE ) 5mm 6mm Ceramic package of MPPC

  3. Gain Estimated by 1p.e signal peak . Gain 100pixel Gain 400pixel • Gain of old sample was… • 1.0×106~3.0×106 (100pixel) • 0.4×106~1.0×106 (400pixel)  Gain of new sample is not so changed compared to old sample. 69.6 70 70.6 69 69.5 69.8 Bias voltage [V] Bias voltage [V] Blue : 15degree Green : 20degree Red : 25degree

  4. The measurement of noise rate • The noise rate is measured by counting the rate of signal with their height over the threshold, imposed on 0.5p.e and 1.5p.e . ( The old sample have ~1.2MHz 1p.e noise rate. ) “ 1p.e noise ” 0.5 p.e = threshold 1 p.e “ 2p.e noise ” Noise signal of 100pixel MPPC at 25 degree. ( integrated ) 1.5 p.e = threshold

  5. Blue : 15degree Green : 20degree Red : 25degree Noise rate Noise rate [ MHz ] 100pixel Noise rate [ kHz ] 400pixel • 1p.e noise rate is about ~0.4 MHz. (old ~1.2 MHz) • 2p.e noise rate is about ~0.2 MHz. (old ~0.2 MHz) 400kHz 500kHz 1p.e 2p.e 1p.e noise 2p.e noise 100kHz 100kHz 69.5 69.1 70 69.2 70 70.4 Improved! Bias voltage [V] Bias voltage [V]

  6. The measurement of cross-talk rate • Sensitive area of 100pixel type is enlarged by 40%.  Geometrical efficiency is increased. • The separation between pixels is smaller than the old sample.  Cross-talk rate may be increased Old sample ( 100pixel ) New sample ( 100pixel )

  7. Measurement of cross-talk rate • The probability of cross-talk is estimated by the number of 1p.e . The number of pedestal are free to cross-talk measurement • the number of each p.e is assumed to be follow the Poisson distribution The number of 1p.e : P(1) ( estimated by pedestal ) || without cross-talk The number of 1p.e : P(1) ( measured ) || with cross-talk This difference corresponds to the decrease by cross-talk. The cross talk rate is determined.

  8. Blue : 15degree Green : 20degree Red : 25degree Cross-talk rate Cross-talk rate 100pixel Cross-talk rate 400pixel ( Cross-talk rate of the old sample is ~30%. )  Cross-talk rate of new sample is ~1.6 times larger than old sample. 50% 50% 10% 10% 69.6 70 70.6 69 69.5 69.8 Bias voltage [V] Bias voltage [V]

  9. relative PDE measurement • Geometrical efficiency is larger than that of the old sample. So, PDE of new sample should be higher. • PDE relative to PMT is measured. set up Moving stage 1mmφslit PMT Blue LED MPPC ( total area 1mm2) PMT made by HPK, type H8643

  10. relative PDE Relative PDE 100pixel Relative PDE 400pixel 3 • PDE is about 2~3 times higher than that of PMT. (Old sample was ~2×PMT)  ~1.4 times larger PDE than old sample. 2 2 1 1 69.6 70 70.6 69 69.5 69.8 Bias voltage [V] Bias voltage [V] Blue : 15degree Green : 20degree Red : 25degree

  11. Summary of measurement About the region the gains of 2sample are same… • The new sample have good performance! But, Cross-talk become worse.  feed back to Hamamatsu Improved! Become worse… Improved!

  12. Future plan… • We will check the device-to-device variation for 500 MPPCs in this ceramic package next March. • So, we have to make system to test many samples. • We want to measure as many sample as possible at once. • Plastic connector • Read out electronics
