  1. An SiPM Based Readout for the sPHENIX Calorimeters Eric J. Mannel IEEE NSS/MIC October 30, 2013

  2. sPHENIX Upgrade to PHENIX • PHENIX designed in the early 90’s • Currently set to begin 14th year of data collection • Significant upgrades over the years ((F)VTX, RPCs…) • sPHENIX is the next logical upgrade step • Completely replaces the current spectrometer • New and exciting Jet physics • Future upgrades: • fsPHENIX (forward sPHENIX) • ePHENIX (eRHIC detector) PHENIX ePHENIX E.J. Mannel, BNL

  3. sPHENIX Detector Concept • Based on BaBar solenoid magnet • Compact electromagnetic and hadroniccalorimetery • See talk by C. Woody (N16-5) for more details • Common electronics for calorimetry: • Central tracking: Silicon, TPC… • Designed to focus on heavy-ion jet physics. • Total energy: Hadron + E.M. • Good solid angle: |h|< 1, Df=2p E.J. Mannel, BNL

  4. Calorimeter Electronics • Optical sensor must be: • Small, compact device • Work in high magnetic fields ( ~1.5T) • Sufficient dynamic range for EMCal and Hcal, ~103 • MultiPixel Photon Counter (MPPC or SiPM) • Hamamatsu S10362-33-25C • Immune to magnetic fields • Small: 3mm x 3mm • Dynamic range: ~104(14400 Pixels) • Inexpensive ( < $15 per device) • Temperature dependent gain 10%/0C (Next slide) • Keeping options open for newer devices E.J. Mannel, BNL

  5. SiPMTemperature Dependence • Reverse breakdown voltage: VBD ~ 70V • Overvoltage range: VOV ~ 2V • VBD increases linearly with temperature: 56mV/0C • Gain increase: x2/Volt Minamino, Akihiro at al. "T2K experiment: Neutrino Detectors E.J. Mannel, BNL

  6. Temperature Compensation • Temperature compensation using closed feedback loop • Thermistor • Logic control • 10 bit ADC • 12 bit DAC • DAC reduces VBD providing full range of gain control E.J. Mannel, BNL

  7. SiPM Pre-Amp/Shaper/Driver • Single tower max energy: 40GeV • Dynamic range: 1000 • 1 MIP = 142 MeV • MIP Peak ~35 pe • 40GeV ~104pe • Circuit designed and tested at BNL (right) E.J. Mannel, BNL

  8. Comparison with SPICE Simulation • Avoid saturation region of SiPM, < 10K pixels. • Full SPICE simulation of circuit. • Compare to measured performance of circuit using comparable LED input. E.J. Mannel, BNL

  9. SiPM Readout • Direct digitization of signals • Signals shaped to match sampling time • FADCs digitize the signals • Amplifier/Shaper/Driver mounted “on detector”, digitization done “near detector” • Digital pipeline stores data until a LVL1 trigger is received. • Digital signals can be processed in real time (gain correction, pedestal subtraction) to generate trigger primitives • Based on PHENIX HBD/RPC electronics E.J. Mannel, BNL

  11. sPHENIX Test Beam Operations • Test beam scheduled for 2014 (FNAL T-1044) • Prototype EMCal and HCal detectors. • Prototype SiPMbased readout system • Proto-type calorimeters (See talk by C. Woody, N16-5) • Hcal: Steel-Scintillator • 2 segments (front/back) • 16 Towers, 32 channels • EMCal:Tunsten-Scintillating fiber • Projective geometry • 49 towers (7 x 7 array) • SiPM Readout for both detectors with modified layout • PHENIX HBD Electronics for readout E.J. Mannel, BNL

  12. HCal Test Beam Readout • SiPM with thermistor attached to fiber • 2-16 channel interface board contains amplifier/shaper driver boards • 32 channel controller board providing temperature compensation • HBD electronics digitizes SiPM signals: • 60MHz sampling • 10 samples per signal • External triggering • Local PC provides slow control E.J. Mannel, BNL

  13. EMCal Test Beam Readout • 8 x 8 array of electronics (7 x 7 array of towers). • Amplifier/Shaper/Driver on plug-in board. • Identical controller circuitry as Hcal electronics • Interfaces to HDB electronics E.J. Mannel, BNL

  14. Conclusions • sPHENIX MIE has been submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy. • Prototype circuits for SiPM based readout have been developed and tested successfully. • A test beam experiment at FNAL (T-1044) is scheduled for February 2014. • Prototype EMCal and HCal detectors • Prototype SiPM based readout with continuous digitization of SiPM signals. • sPHENIX data taking proposed to start FY2019 • sPHENIX is part of a staged upgrade to ePHENIX and eRHIC physics.
