High Precision Design Collaboration for FCAL Electronics at Tel Aviv University
This paper presents a collaborative effort led by Halina Abramowicz and colleagues at Tel Aviv University, focusing on the high-precision design of the Forward Calorimeter (FCAL) systems. It covers the calculation of charge induced in silicon for detecting signals in units of charge, particularly at 250 GeV for muon and electron samples. The study details the energy loss in silicon and presents a digitization model aimed at achieving resolution with minimal signal loss. Key parameters like sensor thickness and design layers are analyzed for improved performance.

High Gain ADC Low Gain Digitization Model The Goal: a resolution of 5 bins per MIP Maximal charge per sensor + buffer FCAL -- TAU
Digitization Model • MIP per bin. • 2. Maximal Shower Charge (electrons) • events cell signal • events cell signal
Summary – 8 Bit Digitization MIP signal for of silicon is for a maximal signal of we therefore have . High gain steps Low gain steps of the Cells are in the high gain region.
