  1. Uva GEM R&D Update –Part I Kondo Gnanvo, Nilanga Liyanage, Vladimir Nelyubin, KiadtisakSaenboonruang, Taylor Scholz and AdarshRamakrishnan In Collaboration with EvaristoCisbani and Paolo Musico

  2. Outline GEM R&D and assembly facilities at UVa Cosmic test results Update on the 40 × 50 cm2GEM prototype

  3. GEM R&D and assembly facility at UVa • A 3.5 × 3 m2 class 1000 clean room • Used for the assembly of BigBite drift chambers and GEM tracker with 10 × 10 cm2chambers • Located in a large (4.5 m x 9 m) semi-clean area. • Accessories (clean room table, HV Gas box,…. • Additional clean room to be added later this year • Setting up the GEM lab @ UVa • the test and commissioning of the chambers • 16 channels Wiener HV power supply (VME) • Picoammeter model Keithley 6487 • CODA based DAQ • 2 APV readout systems

  4. GEM R&D and assembly facility at UVa New 40 cm x 50 cm GEM stretcher at Uva • The mechanical stretcher • Use for stretching GEM foil and glue it to spacer frames to keep it flat • Stretch the foil to a tension bigger than 1kg/cm • Method developed by Bencivenni. Et al. (LNF Italy) for LHCb GEM chambers\ More detail in Kondo’s talk next week

  5. More detail in Kondo’s talk next week

  6. Test framesglued More detail in Kondo’s talk next week

  11. On going studies with 10 cm x 10 cm chambers • compact voltage dividers from CERN • Gains, spark rates etc. well studied for this combination of resistors • Nominal operation at 4100 V, but tested to 4300 V (Max voltage on a GEM foil is 430 V; this is small compared to 500 V foil test voltage) • If there a spark in the bottom GEM, DV for other GEMs increase by only about 6 V. A spark in the other foils has negligible effect. = 4100 V GEM 1: DV = 410 V GEM 2: DV = 373 V GEM 2: DV = 328 V

  12. CMS Prototype Gain measurements with the divider K. Gnanvo - SoLID Coll. Meeting, 02/03/12

  14. GEM R&D and assembly facility at UVa • 10 × 10 cm2 GEM prototypes • 3 working chambers for the tracker, • 2 mores to be assembled soon • trigger GEM chamber with pad readout • Scalable Readout System (SRS) • Multi channel scalable readout system developed by the CERN-based RD51 coll. • Small system @ UVa with up to 2048 ch • 4 small GEM chamberswith X/Y readout • Currently running with a standalone ALICE DAQ (DATE) and Monitoring (AMORE) software. • Integration of the SRS into CODA under development
