Single looped fibre •strong fibre bending,•most stress on fibres,•probably ageing damages?

tiles, fibers, light yield

Centre/straight WLS-fibre Diagonal/bent WLS-fibre

No stress on fibre,fibre end reflector =tile reflector

L=20cm

1.4 mm hole in centre •drilled and polished •For 5 cm straight WLS-fibre RO•cheep, for SiPM’s only

more stress on fibre,fibre end reflector =tile reflector

Presented and discussed inBoris Dolgoshein’s andErika Garutti’s talks today.Si-PM’s (MEPHI/Pulsar):

1024 pixels, 1 mm2, on tile, gain ~ 106 at ~ 60V Ubias

need low noise fast preamplifiersAPD’s (Hamamatsu S8664-55spl)

3 x 3 mm2 photo-cathodes, gain ~200 at ~ 420V Ubias

need charge sensitive, low noise preamplifiersNeed special masks on photo-cathode for optical fibres

Light yield for MIP’s (used for calibration): 18-25 ph.e. on photo-cathode

The Ppt DAQ concept

APD fibre masks orflat-band connector to Si-PM cassette RO printed circuit

~ 3m analogue RO

CALICE UK group, P. Dauncey

16 bit ADC‘s


The Ppt DAQ conceptEnergy measurement:16-bit ADC’s to cover large dynamic range between MIP’s (ch. 50) and 5 GeV on cell ( ~200 x larger)

Trigger:coincidence from beam- or cosmic-trigger coincidence, LED, min. biasLatency of overall trigger path < 180ns

This is from peak of shaping time in VFE chip for sample-and-hold

Jitter on trigger < 10nsTrigger sent after event, not beforeNo trigger from VFE level, some delay of analogue signals

Beam measurements:particle type, x-y, time, double hits in shaping time(early and late pile-up)

Beam counter, rate monitoring

slow controlsUbias, LV, temperatures, LED settings,...


DAQ rates, beam time request

Need high statistics for accurate simulation comparisonMultiple set-ups (energy, particle type, HCAL, angle, TC, etc) ~ 102

Need high statistics per set-up; accurate to 3 needs ~ 106 eventsNeed to take data in a reasonable time

For 108 events total, need around ~100 Hz average

>>> minimum 106 seconds is around two weeks continuous running time

Several months realistic beam time

Dubna test board for CAMAC RO

R&D for Ppt, VFE prototype cards

VFE-Boards withLAL/Orsay•preamp chipsfor APD’s:

•LV supply•multiplexed ADC RO•HV-PS (500 V)•LED monitoring •multiplexing•VFE / CAMAC RO

2 options:

APD gain

<100:12 mV/1.8 fC


1. Reading LAL/Orsay chip. Critical to the SH signal ±10nsec Multiplexer switching time ~100 nsec

2. ADC on board is ok.3. Data are in CAMAC.4. Now tests with 2 APD (and Si-PM’s) is going on.

Await soon:

1. Number of channels per board? 4 FLC chips - 72 channels

ADC AD7924 12bit, 4 ch, 1µsec.100-150 µsec readout time

• LED test?

need help from DESY for design (mechanics, exp. from H1)

• VME modules from UK?

need readout in spring 2004

Dubna, present status


VFE solution for Si-PMs

Have to inquire and take decision soon:•fast preamps, short gates, to reduce noise collection voltage amplifier ok?•fast preamp output to be gated by trigger (100-180 ns later)>>>needs: fast analogue delay lines or fast switch capacity memory downstream preamp ahead of shaping• how many channels/board (5000-8000 Si-PM’s ?)• Ubias, ~60V, remote set of +/0.1 V steps, 10 steps?
