  1. The progress of TOF Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing, China TOF Group Sun Zhijia (sunzj@mail.ihep.ac.cn) Otc 28, 2006

  2. Outline • TOF design • Alignment & mech. • PMT tests • Beam tests and prototype tests • Electronics • Main orders and manufacture • Schedule

  3. 1.TOF Design

  4. Options of barrel TOF The option of barrel TOF is determined after many discussions in June, 2005. Two layers of scintillator will be used for barrel. • RICH or Imaging system need more space and money. • CCT has too few photoelectrons to get good time reso. • MRPC is under test. CsI Calorimeter Barrel TOF Drift Chamber Endcap TOF

  5. Analysis of Time reso. Non TOF ~60ps

  6. Why two layers? • Time reso. for Kaon and pion is worse 20% than muon in experiences. • Time reso. of two layers totally is from 100ps to 110ps for kaon and pion. • That time reso. can separate kaon/pion of 0.9GeV in the middle of barrel. Capability of separation of Kaon and Pion

  7. MRPC optionbakelite as the resis. plate • Structure: • Resi. Plate: bakelite • gaps: 6; • Chamber: 8cm(W)X190cm(L) • gas：90%Freon, 5%iso-butane, • 5%SF6 • Preamp：Star • Signal pulse • HV: 16kV/1.2mm) • Readoud pad:3X6cm • Rise time:~2ns • Time Reso.:70～110ps The results for a MRPC sample where the fish-line is rolled in longitude direction

  8. MRPC’s option is given up at last. Because it is too urgent and need more R&D on the following three aspects: 1) bakelite Plate 2) long strip readout 3) stability of running Also the PID capability will not improve much if MRPC is used, because the non-TOF contribute about 60ps. Anyway the experiments will go on in our group.

  9. Cerenkov options • CCT(Correlated Cerenkov Timing) has been given up too. • Its principle is to measure the time of the cerenkov light to separate particles. • We did experiments and simulations. There are too few PEs to get good time reso. Number of photoelectrons in right or left PMT versus hit position from CCT simulation.

  10. TOF+TOF TOF+CCT Comparison of K/ sep. Fig. K / separation for TOF+CCT Fig. K / separation for Double TOF

  11. Potential of CCT: MCP-PMT to give good time reso. Refer to: Jochen Schwiening, SLAC T. Ohshima, Nagoya Univ.

  12. Cerenkov options • New DIRC: • Measure the time and one-dimension position • It uses APD or multi-channel plate PMT to measure the time and position of Cerenkov light from Quartz. • No big imaging circles and so no much space is needed. • The money is saved because of smaller quantity of PMT. • This option is under investigation and may be used as the upgrade for BESIII TOF.

  13. 2.Alignment and mechanical design

  14. Barrel TOF Dimension • Banded to MDC outer barrel of Carbon-fiber • R-direction space: 81cm-92.5cm • Scintillator Length: 2320mm • Coverage:~82% • Pieces:88 /layer • Thickness: 50mm /layer

  15. Barrel TOF alignment Fig. BTOF side view. To save space, the base of PMT housing is 6-sides-shaped and the inner and outer layer is across. It has four screws to connect the scin. Fig. Assembly of barrel TOF.

  16. Mechanical design • Connecting design of Barrel TOF HV cable for PMT Preamp is directly plugged onto the breeder board of PMT Fiber cable for calibration is out of the Housing. Differential signal after preamp LV for preamp

  17. The housing of barrel TOF The housing of Endcap is similar. • Five holes at corners: • Four screw holes to fix up the housing and the scintillator . Copper inserts are used. • The last for fiber connector PMT housing Scitillator Flange of Housing. Its upper edge is cut to three lines to avoid the interference of two layers’ flanges.

  18. Binding tests • Two layers of barrel TOF will be bound to the MDC carbon fiber cylinder. Before Al strip was used and it affects the energy of electron and photon. To decrease the material, the tape of 3M 898 is planed to be used. • Test is done. Bricks is as the scintillator and the gasolene bucket is as the MDC cylinder. After 17 days, it is still firm and stable and no much variation occurs. brick Gasolene bucket The tape of 3M 898
