Recommendation for the New Small Wheel layout

1. Recommendation for the New Small Wheel layout T. Kawamoto (NSW i-project leader), J. Dubbert (NSW i-technical coordinator), L. Pontecorvo (Muon PL), S. Vlachos (Muon deputy PL), NSW review panel M. Nessi, P. Farthouat, A. Romaniuk, F. Lanni, N. Konstantinidis Muon week, NSW workshop 20.03.2012 T. Kawamoto

2. Motivation for NSW : the two pillars L1MU20 h distribution Kill the background L1 in endcap (h=1.3 – 2.5) and reduce the rate by factor ~6 On-line reconstruction of track segments, 1 mrad resolution Rate vs R in SW necessary step for further upgrade: phase-2 Ensure precision tracking up to the ultimate Lumi (7x1034) with a comfortable safety margin T. Kawamoto

3. History • Many years of R&D on the possible technologies for the NSW • sMDT: 1/2 diameter of MDT tubes to gain factor 7 in rate capabilities. Proposed for tracking • sTGC: Read out strips of 3mm with a T over Thr technique to reach 100 mm resolution usable also for triggering, very good rate capabilities proposed for triggering and tracking • Small gap RPC: sub ns time resolution and 300 mm space resolution, rate capabilities increased by >10 with thin gap and new front end electronics, proposed for triggering • Micromegas: very good space resolution, very high rate capabilities, very promising new technology, proposed for triggering and tracking T. Kawamoto

4. History • A lot of very interesting results and improvements on both new and “old” technologies has been achieved and presented in the upgrade meetings. • Last year • Tatsuo Kawamoto was elected Project Leader of the new Small Wheel • to move from the R&D phase to the definition of the project • Defined the timeline for this transition: first months of 2012. • A panel was formed in summer 2011 with the mandate of helping us in defining the NSW technology. • A. Romaniuk, F. Lanni, P. Farthuat , N. Kostantinidis and M. Nessi. • Huge work done by the panel together with the proponents of the technologies in a very open and constructive spirit. • Many Thanks from our side to them. It was a real pleasure to work with them. • 26-27 January 2012 meeting in Le Brassus where the ideas and the questions of the panel on the different technologies were presented and a lot of discussions took place. T. Kawamoto

5. History • Few weeks later we converged to two proposals, which were circulated in the community for evaluation • The community at large has been asked to report their ideas on both proposals, and their willingness to participate to the NSW project regardless of the chosen scheme and their initial field of interest. • Many discussions with institute leaders and people interested in the project. • Again with very open and collaborative spirit. • The community ended up split almost exactly in two, but the overwhelming majority declared that they would happily work also on their second choice. • The Panel, the muon and the NSW management had a series of meetings among them, with very deep discussions on both pros and cons of the proposed solutions. • Friday 16 March the NSW and the Muon management, in agreement with the Panel, decided to recommend to the community a single solution. T. Kawamoto

6. Next steps • This meeting: • mainly to assess the consensus of the community on the proposed solution • Thursday at the Muon IB: • the NSW and muon management will ask for Endorsement on this recommendation. • P.S. The Muon IB cannot decide on items that are relevant for the full collaboration, but can give endorsement to the proposal • The ATLAS CB will vote to give the final approval. T. Kawamoto

7. Two proposals • Homogeneous: sTGC + Micromegas • Possible full redundancy for trigger and tracking. • Featuring high rate capabilities and space resolution on both detectors • Split: sTGC for triggering, MM (small R) and sMDT (large R) for tracking. • Featuring larger safety margins in case of problems with MM technology sTGC MM sMDT chamber segmentation in R and order along z are preliminary Homogeneous Split T. Kawamoto

8. Two proposals • sTGC is used in both options for triggering and tracking • Pros: • sTGC construction can start very soon, proven technology • Adequate time resolution for BC identification • Adequate space resolution for trigger and tracking • Cons: • sTGC internal and external alignment concept has to be studied • Limited number of institutes interested in the production and operation of this detector (Need to be reinforced). T. Kawamoto

9. Two proposals • Why the RPC was not further considered • Main feature of RPC is the sub-ns time resolution • It is clear that this can give a very large fake rate reduction • We acknowledge it, but we think that the same reduction can be achieved also using other means (granularity, space resolution+ moderate time resolution) • The space resolution presented was of about 300 mm, not demonstrated on-line at the moment • We consider it sufficient for the trigger, but has to be demonstrated on-line and moreover it is by far not sufficient to complement the tracking, sTGC on the other hand have this possibility with a moderate time resolution. • The presented project is considered not very clear and advanced, we acknowledge that we received lately an addendum with clarification and new information. T. Kawamoto

10. Two proposals Homogeneous : Pros • Fully redundant: • Both TGC and MM can be used in the trigger system allowing a very robust and flexible trigger even in the presence of very unexpected backgrounds or detector failures. • Both detectors can be used in the tracking with adequate intrinsic space resolution. • Very robust pattern recognition and tracking with as much as 16 space points (3d) per track. • Excellent Rate Capabilities for both detectors • Very large safety margins on cavern background possible. • Very good two track separation (MM) and pattern recognition capabilities • Simpler service distribution (2 technologies) • Large community interested in development of Micromegas also for future use in ATLAS T. Kawamoto

11. Two proposals Homogeneous : Cons • Extensive R&D required for proving feasibility and industrialization of of large sized MM • mTPC operations for large angle tracks to be demonstrated, change in reconstruction method as a function of track angle. • Both internal alignment and global alignment concepts have to be developed (cf. sMDT). • Large number of channels • More “risky” solution, implying the use of new detectors within a fixed schedule (no LHC delays this time) T. Kawamoto

12. Two proposals Split : Pros • sMDT is a well proven technology, adequate for a large part of the NSW acceptance (but possible issues for unexpected background at large eta). • No more R&D required on sMDT and production can start very soon. • Alignment concept already developed for sMDT (not for MM as in the previous solution) • MM of CSC like dimension can be built very soon and the industrialization process can start sooner. Moreover if any problem in the MM construction/operation is encountered a fall back with full sMDT can be envisaged even quite late in time (Fail safe solution) • Production of sMDT ensure the formation of new experts to maintain not only the NSW but the full detector. • The sMDT offline reconstruction is almost identical to the one used now. Readiness for the first collisions in 2018 (at least for the sMDT part). • The sMDT can be used as demonstrator for the use of MDT in the trigger necessary in phase 2 on the Big Wheel and barrel. T. Kawamoto

13. Two proposals Split : Cons • Complexity in the construction and surface commissioning: 3 systems • More complex service distribution • Rim will be full of on-detector electronics • The R&D needed on some technologies is similar in the two approaches. • Different algorithms for track reconstruction as a function of the incident point in the NSW (MDT – MM). T. Kawamoto

14. Two proposals Response of the community • Common comments in favour of Homogeneous • Full redundancy especially for the trigger (not present in the Split solution) • Better performance in terms of resolution and rate capabilities • Simplicity in commissioning, operation, services etc. • Common comments in favour of Split • Best option where the strength of each technology is used effectively. Given the short amount of time it is also the most realistic solution with the lower risk. • Potential of creating new experts for future maintenance of MDT and TGC of the full detector • Ready to reconstruct tracks (at least the sMDT part) from day 1 of LHC T. Kawamoto

15. NOT Responding yet Community split in half Large majority interested in contribution to the upgrade even if their preferred solution is not chosen: about 80%

16. Homogeneous Solution Cost • CORE cost. No overhead for manpower, R/D etc • Approximate Budget based on input from proponents • Common cost for F/E electronics • Trigger electronics not included • Rough estimation of installation etc cost • Budget : 10700 KCHF • sTGC : 2300 • MM : 6000 • Common : 2300 T. Kawamoto

17. Split Solution Cost • In addition to previous: • Fixed costs kept as before • Variable costs scaled to size/number of channels • Rough estimate of overhead for three technologies installation • Budget : 10100 KCHF • sTGC : 2300 • MM : 2800 • sMDT : 2300 • Common : 2600 The cost for the two options is ~ equal T. Kawamoto

18. The single solution to recommend • We recommend to adopt the Homogeneous solution for the following main reasons: • Redundancy in both trigger and tracking, especially on trigger • Strength of the community behind Micromegas that mitigate the worries on the R&D still needed • Simpler solution in terms of number of technologies and services distribution. • Development of a new powerful technology also for other possible uses in the future of ATLAS. T. Kawamoto

19. Additional remark • We consider both sMDT and mRPC to be very important • technologies for further upgrade of the muon spectrometer, • for examples: • Inner BW region • Transition region (trigger and tracking) EIL4, BIS7,8, EE, BEE • Gaps of acceptance • Improving the trigger pT resolution (barrel and endcap) • and therefore in the strongest way to support their • further development. T. Kawamoto
