  1. SuperB Drift Chamber overview G. Finocchiaro LNF-INFN 31 May 2008

  2. What we know The BABAR DCH worked well for almost 10 years • Hit and momentum resolution, tracking efficiency, dE/dx matched (or exceeded) design • ~ no aging G. Finocchiaro -- INFN-LNF

  3. What we want • A lighter structure, all in Carbon Fiber (CF) • because we know this can be done • A faster detector • because we know life will be tougher @ SuperB • Faster R.O. electronics • for the same reason • Lighter FEE (including shielding & cooling) • because we may want to place detectors behind the DCH backward endplate now G. Finocchiaro -- INFN-LNF

  4. Total load due to tension of 27k wires in BABAR DCH is ~3.5 tons 12(24) mm thick Al endplates  13(27)% X0 I. Drift chamber mechanical structure • 3 Carbon Fiber options studied for the SuperB DCH • Flat CF endplates • 20mm CF (0.075X0), max deformation (dmax) ~1mm • Spherical CF endplates (both concavities) • 4mm CF (0.015X0), max deformation (dmax) <1mm • Conic + spherical CF endplates • 4mm CF (0.015X0), max deformation (dmax) <1mm • Flat is ‘simple’, curved is stiffer G. Finocchiaro -- INFN-LNF

  10. Rmax ~ 2m 52,140 wires total load ~ 3.5 tons EP thickness 9 mm Plate deformations recovered with CF “stiffening ring” Given the smaller radius of the SuperB DCH, we can probably avoid this complication Spherical EP concept proved in the KLOE DC G. Finocchiaro -- INFN-LNF

  13. Thickness O(4mm), or 1.5% X0 (perp. to walls) dmax~0.5mm Option #3: conical end-plates Expect high particle flux in forward direction. Conic-shaped EP's might help reducing occupancy in inner layers. G. Finocchiaro -- INFN-LNF

  14. Option #3: conical end-plates (cont.)‏ • Besides the trickier structural analysis,conical endplates would pose several problems though: • drilling the holes at a very small angle • ensuring a flat seat for the feed-throughs • stringing the wires in the conical section • a lot of material seen by electrons tangential to the cone ⇨a lot of background produced • None of the above (excluding 4), which needs careful investigation) looks unsurmountable, but we should be aware that conic end-plates are not exempt from issues. • An alternative solution to this problem on talk #3 in this session. G. Finocchiaro -- INFN-LNF

  15. Perspective: decisions to be taken before the TDR • New cell structure • attack this problem with newly available simulation tools (next months) • test new cell and gas mixtures with prototypes (~1 year from now) • see next talk • Define mechanical structure • simulation • Interplay with other detectors (length, offset, shape) • Once geometry outlined, make detailed FEA calculations • Electronics design • Actual work starting next year • Understand requirements meanwhile • will be discussed during session on electronics on June 2nd G. Finocchiaro -- INFN-LNF
