  5. GEM foil hole size American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.

  6. GEM operations and features • Simple, robust • Stackable (single, double, triple) • Fast – electron signal  5ns • Relatively low voltage (~400V/foil) • Flexible – almost any anode design • Durable – no aging in extended tests • Gain 102 – 106 American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.

  7. Embeded onboard readout Ground to avoid cross-talk Design for DHCAL using Triple GEM American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.

  8. First UTA GEM Prototype • Double GEM detector constructed using 10x10 cm2 foils from CERN. • Single 1x2 cm2 anode pad. • Charge preamp, then voltage amp. • Cosmic trigger, small counters, low rate! • Signal verification: no signal with (a) trigger counters displaced from anode pad, (b) air in GEM detector.

  18. GEM prototype – source tests • Cs137 source, ~1 MeV electrons • Wall of prototype thinned to allow electrons to reach ionization region of GEM, and use of thin trigger scintillators. • Rate much higher than cosmics! • Used secondary output of charge amplifier to generate ADC gate. • Study signals, noise, gain,… American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.

GEM/MIP Signal Size Computation • Double GEM – applied 419V/stage • Total Ionization (C): ~93 i.p./cm •  48 e-/MIP (5mm gap) • Double GEM Intrinsic Gain: G • Charge preamp sensitivity (GC) : 0.25 V/e- • Voltage amp. X10 (GV) • Output signal = C x G x GC x GV • Observed ~370mV signal (mean of Landau) •  G = 3100 ± 20% (need better amplifier calibration) American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.

  23. Multichannel prototype • Next step: a 3 x 3 array of 1 cm2 pads. • Allows one central pad with neighbors for cross-talk tests. • Use a single layer board for simplicity. • Use e.g. HELIX chip for readout. • Anode board built, prototype being reworked.

  25. GEM module ideas • Start from basic TESLA detector layout • Try simple design with GEM “drawers” slid into slots in absorber (formed from plates and spacers). • GEM layer ~6mm, readout layer ?mm. • Readout – amplifier, discriminator, register per channel close to anode pad. Multilayer board with multiple ground planes. • Working on existence proof of readout, services, module boundaries, supports, … American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.

  34. GEM operation in magnetic field • Electrons drift along E-field lines which are ~radial in the overall detector frame. • However, B-field exists in orthogonal direction. • Forces on electron from E and B ~ equal • -> so…expect ~45 deg. drift. B drift E American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.

  35. Funding • DoE ADR funding for year 1 completed -> Prototypes working, many simulation results (see talk by Jae Yu at this meeting) • Request for two more subsequent years of ADR funding • First year of the two funded for ½ student and ½ engineer/postdoc • Equipment funds through ADR + LCRD • Allows us to contemplate construction of a larger size GEM prototype American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.

  36. Collaboration • Discussions with Fermilab (Physics dept.) re support for development of: - readout electronics (amplifier, discriminator, …) - electronics “layer” - GEM calorimeter stack for test beam  Agreement (June ’03) to proceed. American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.

  37. Conclusions • Built and operated first prototype • Cosmic and source results – gain OK • Multi-channel prototype being built • First ideas on module design • Funding in place for another year • Collaboration with Fermilab agreed. American Linear Collider Workshop Cornell U.
