  1. Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas (CBPF) Presented by A. F. Barbosa, in the V AAP Workshop, March 2009

  2. Abstract • important milestone for the Angra Neutrinos Project; • first “visible” sign of the anti-neutrinos detector implementation; • impact on the detector concept: very close to the reactor core + at sea level; • goals: measuring background, testing hardware + data acquisition + connection etc.

  3. Detector concept Relativistic charged particle crossing a dielectric medium  radiation emission In water: max = 41o min = 0.75

  4. Detector concept Taking: 2-1 = , 1  = 1nm,  covering the visible light spectrum

  5. Detector design 1 – Water 2 – Tank 3 – Tyvek ‘bag’ 4 – ‘bag’ holder 5 – Tyvek top cover 6 – Black rubber sealing 7 – Tank hat 8 – Pmt + base 9 – High voltage 10 – Signal output 1.28m height, 0.8m diameter   640 liters

  6. Electronics (analog modules) Pre-amplifier & shaping (*) AngraNote 001-2007 Discriminator + reate meter Temperature sensor The three circuits have been assembled in one single NIM module

  7. Electronics (digital module) • 4 ADC channels • 8 TDC channels (not used here) • Programmed hardware USB

  8. Data Acquisition Data block for an event • Waveforms sampled @ 60MHz sampling rate (16.6ns time bin) • 128 samples per event (32 before trigger, 96 after trigger) • Code compiled under Linux in ROOT

  9. Characterization results (pre-amplifier) Line: SPICE simulation Dots: measurements in scope

  10. Characterization results (rate meter) (*) The expected counting muon count rate is below 3KHz

  11. Characterization results (temperature sensor) The error bars in the Y-axis are multiplied by 10. Only a rough precision room temperature monitoring is required

  12. Characterization results (Data Processing Module) Error bars multiplied by 10.
