Optimizing Beam Loss Monitoring with SiPM Response Model

This paper delves into a novel reward-renewal model for SiPM response to optical signals in beam loss monitoring systems. It covers SiPM advantages, nonlinearities, and experimental analysis. The study presents a reconstruction method for light intensity profiles. The research explores SiPM binomial and dead-time nonlinearities, as well as transient responses. The use of a Markov process model offers insights into better signal reconstruction. By analyzing SiPM transients and applying reward-renewal processes, the study suggests potential improvements for high dynamic range SiPMs in beam loss monitoring systems.

  13. Reconstruction of light intensity profile • Mean SiPM output (current) is a convolution of transient point process and binomial number of single-electron responses with history-dependent Gain • Reconstruction of light intensity profile Iph(t) means: • To deconvolve output with binomial # SER(t) accounting for Gain(t) • To solve inverse Laplace transform equation for Idet(t) • To deconvolve Idet(t) with conditional PDE(t) • Feasibility of successful reconstruction is questionable Sergey Vinogradov International Conference on Accelerator OptimizationSeville, Spain 7 – 9 October 201513

  14. Summary • Reward-renewal Markov process is a powerful tool to model response on slowly varying nonlinear signals • Practical algorithm of reconstruction is questionable • Time to think twice on other possible approaches on BLM with SiPM: • High dynamic range SiPM • Number of pixels (FBK – 7.5 um pixels ~ 18K pixels/mm2) • Pixel recovery time (FBK, KETEK – 3.5 …4.5 ns) • Separate Cherenkov fiber channels (dual readout): • SiPM readout: super-sensitive (and linear) at low signals • fast PD (PIN or MSM): inexpensive add-on for large signals • Other practically feasible approximation approaches – new ideas (?) • Exciting, challenging, high risk, high impact R&D in progress • SUCCESS = NEW HORIZONS in super-sensitive HDR detection Sergey Vinogradov International Conference on Accelerator OptimizationSeville, Spain 7 – 9 October 201514
