Introduction • mention about the p/K separation of TOP counter, especially about effect of group velocity of the photon. • Definition of Separation. DTOP + DTOF S = ・ Nph st S1ph = Separation of single photon DTOP,TOF : time difference of pi/K (K-pi) st : Time resolution Nph : Number of detected Photo-electron PID meeging @ Nagoya univ
Time difference DTOP and DTOF TOP counter measures time difference btw p/K TOP TOF DTOP + DTOF = 200ps PID meeging @ Nagoya univ
Uncertainty of TOP measurement. If we choose to use bar-TOP, this effect is negligible. PID meeging @ Nagoya univ
The chromatic effect. The chromatic effect consists of 2 component. a.Cherenkov angle Determined by the reflective index b. Light velocity Determined by ‘Group’ index These two contribution work oppositely. a :b = -1 : 2 schromatic (1/n・Dn) b. Dl a. PID meeging @ Nagoya univ
The measurement of TOP resolution • From the Beam test result. • With improved polishing accuracy of the quartz bar. • This result is limited by chromatic effect (at large L). Estimate pi/K separability in the Belle detector PID meeging @ Nagoya univ

Expected TOP counter’s performance in Belle. • Separation of single photo-electron and S lmean = 390nm, stts = 75ps 30 45 60 90 140 Number of detected photon S S1ph Hard to separate p/K around qin = 45, p=3.5GeV/c region. PID meeging @ Nagoya univ
How we can do? • Increase photon statistics • Use High Q.E. material (Ga・As or APD?) • Use thicker quartz bar. (20mm 40mm) • Improve time resolution. • Use long wave length region (Dn get small) • (and) use good photon detector(T.T.S < 50ps) PID meeging @ Nagoya univ
Correlation between TTS and wave length. P = 3.5GeV/c, in Belle system Separation of single photo-electron stts = 100ps stts = 50ps S1ph S=3 S=5.5 We have to use long wave length with stts < 50 ps. PID meeging @ Nagoya univ
wave length : lpeak = 490nm with high Q.E.(20%@lpeak) time resolution : stts=50ps barthick = 20mm barthick = 40mm PID meeging @ Nagoya univ
Summary • The chromatic effect make the largest uncertainty. • To get good performance in Belle system, • Measure long wave length region. • Use good Photon detector which has TTS of 50 ps. • Need good Q.E. material.(Q.E.×C.E.>20%?) • Workable in 1.5T magnetic field Photon detector R&D is very very important.

What’s SiPM • SiPM • a kind of multi pixel Avalanche Photo Diode. • Operate in limited Geiger mode. pixel size : 42 ×42 mm2 • Merit? • Available in magnetic field. • High Q.E. at long wave length (very attractive for TOP counter) , • High gain. • Good time resolution Etc.etc. PID meeging @ Nagoya univ
Geiger-mode Avalanche photo diode • Limited Geiger-mode in SiPM • Under bias voltage of 10-20% more than break down voltage. • Geiger discharge is stopped when bias goes down below b.d. voltage. • Gain : • Qpixel = Cpixel・(Vbias – Vbeakdown) • Cpixel 100fF Qpixel 100pC Vbias ~ 50V All pixel(576pixel) are connected by common Al strip. each pixel operates as a binary device, works as an analogue detector.
