  1. GEM Detector R&Dat Florida Tech– “Get to know each other” – Marcus Hohlmann Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, FL EIC Tracking R&D Group Meeting, April 11, 2011

  2. Florida Tech Overview Kennedy Space Center Florida Tech • CMS member since 2002 • Potential muon high- upgrade with GEMs for tracking & triggering (2009 - present) • Muon Endcap Alignment (2002 - present) • CMS Tier-3 site on OSG • PHENIX member since 2004 • RD51 charter member • Large-area GEMs (WG1) • Electronics (WG5) • GEM R&D for DHS • Notable Alumni • Klaus Dehmelt (Ph.D. 2006) • Georgia Karagiorgi (B.S. 2004, Ph.D. MIT 2010, now Nevis Labs)

  3. Potential CMS high- upgrade Largest GEM detector built to-date (CERN): Shielding Openings for VFAT electronics Readout (PCB w/ 256 strips) Frame GEM Foils Drift plane Triple-GEM Prototype (2010) Al frame with gas distrib. grooves HV divider ~1m Spacers A. Sharma, S. Colafranceschi 3 mm Al base plate Potential muon upgrade at ||>1.6 with GEMs for triggering & tracking

  4. Fl. Tech GEM stretching technique Cost-effective GEM foil thermal stretching technique via infrared heating under clean room conditions in our high-bay lab (see RD51 Technical Note: RD51-2011-04 ) CMS high- prototype drift foil (1m long) Infrared lamps Works well Plexiglas frame along long side of frame

  5. GEMs for Homeland Security Application Triple-GEM detectors for Muon Tomography (30cm  30cm active area, 2D readout, 400µm pitch) GEMs GEMs Targets GEMs GEMs 8 keV X-rays mips Kondo Gnanvo @ CERN

  6. RD51 SRS Readout Electronics & DAQ • from few 100 to ~105 channels • full hardware chain tested by now Hans Muller Sorin Martoiu (RD51, CERN) APV25 or VFAT or BNL ATLAS Hybrid here . common DAQ part Full readout of 3030cm2 detector w/ 1500 strips • Florida Tech SRS application: • Commercial production of 160 APV hybrids at Hybrid S.A. • DAQ software development (DATE system) • Development of Event monitoring s/w (AMORE suite) • First demonstration of chain APV+SRS+DATE+AMORE • Integration of SRS with 30cm×30cm GEM detectors • Largest use case of SRS to-date (~15k ch.) X-Strip Cluster Y-Strip Cluster RD51 coll. is developing a commonScalable Readout System for MPGD’s

  7. Current SRS status APV Hybrid 12,200 ch. 128 ch. DATE DAQ AMORE Monitoring (Total cost ~20 kEUR) 2048 ch. FEC Fl. Tech’s SRS currently being commissioned at CERN ADC 756 strips - 120 APVs needed for Muon Tomography  ~ 40 APVs & 2 ADCs & 2 FECs available for R&D (~ 4k ch.) 40 MHz sampling

  8. FIT R&D Plan & Q for Simulation Plan: Follow up on previous BNL R&D & study zigzag-strip readout to reduce # of readout strips & consequently cost of electronics for large tracker • Questions: • What spatial resolution would be • needed for an EIC tracker? • Can it be different for  and ? • What is the expected occupancy? • What readout cell size would be needed?
