First spectroscopy results from the dc sparc system CLIC meeting 14.3.2008 Jan Kovermann
Task: • Analysis of the light which is emitted by a breakdown • Study the breakdown time dependence of the BD light emission • See possible differences between DC and RF BDs • Draw conclusions about BD physics, plasma temperatures and densities, development of the breakdown, ignition process, precursors I am using the DC sparc setup to optimize the spectrometer with the goal to have comparable measurements for DC and RF. Since the setup is much more accessible than the setup later in RF, it is a very good opportunity to tune the system and to study DC breakdown. Thank a lot to Sergio, Mauro, Antoine and Yngve!
The new spectrometer setup PMT, Hamamatsu R7400U-01, 300-850nm, 0.78ns rise time Linear gauge, 1micron resolution, absolute position Rotational stage, servo controlled, 250steps/nm achromatic focusing lens Ruled diffraction grating, 300 lines/mm, blazed at 500nm 50micron input slit Fiber input with collimator
The light pickup inside the DC-setup 1mm glass fiber without optics
Some specifications • Motor, scope (PMT readout) and linear gauge readout are controlled by a standard PC • ~5nm resolution (higher resolution increases measurement time) • LabView based software for calibration, alignment an spectroscopy operation • Scope acts as ADC for the PMT(s), 1GHz bandwidth and 2.5GSa/s • System takes data autonomous (~5h to take full spectrum in DC setup) • Optical rails foreseen to integrate more PMTs resp. other detectors • Fiber or free path optical input • HeAr-reference light source for calibration • very flexible design for future upgrades … a spectroscopy multitool! Goal: To have a working spectrometer that can be installed in CTF2!
First results in chronological order Still in 2007… first cw spectrum from an old fluorescent lamp:
First results in chronological order … and time resolved!
Latest results Last calibration done on Wednesday this week: After alignment: Calibration with OceanOptics HgAr-lamp delivers four points for calibration. Setup is linear as expected! 619.5nm intensity 447.5nm 588.5nm 0. order 478.5nm position
Measurements of overall light emission with time resolution in the DC setup: 0.order of grating focused on PMT, molybdenum under test
Measurements of overall light emission with time resolution in the DC setup: 0.order of grating focused on PMT, molybdenum under test, more detailed

Conclusion: • Too early to draw conclusion about DC-BD-physics, there might be still some problems in the setup • New achromatic optics have been used for the last measurements, transmission spectrum unknown right now (coated) • System can be used for the RF-BDs as it is after optimization, the setup will be in the gallery, light transport via fiber from CTF2 • There is still a lot to do! Optimization of the spectrometer with the DC setup will reveals new information about DC breakdowns and prepares the spectrometer for the use in CTF2! Thank you!
