Mock-up tests at CERN One row of MWPC in one quadrant of Station M#X (size of ‘wall’ 1.5x5.5m) M4M5R1 M2M3R2 M3M4M5R3) M3R4 M4R4 (M5R4) • Goals • To check functionalityand stability of different type of chambers at various conditions: • grounding, shielding, variation of LV, external EMI, effects of parasitic currents • and voltage in ground, in LV and HV-lines, etc. • To get experience in assembling MWPC on the Wall and • To prevent possible problems during ‘dressing’, further tests and installation of chambers in pit • To develop software for tests of ‘dressed’ chambers on cosmics and for commissioning,etc. A.P.Kashchuk
Mock-up tests at CERN with participation of LHCb muon CERN group, PNPI group, INFN groups with help and full support of management: Giovanni, Burkhard, Alexei, Pierluigi with high interest of T.Nakada, W.Witzeling, J.Christiansen Thank to Pavel E., Stas and Pavel K. for help in mock-up assembling A.P.Kashchuk
Mock-up tests at CERN M5R1 has been installed first A.P.Kashchuk
Good events: operational chambers were moved to mock-up tests from various groups (CERN, INFN, PNPI) A.P.Kashchuk
Passport of chamber Cosmics collected during night Two chambers of M3R4(PNPI) operating in parallel during night at HV=2600V detect cosmics at high count uniformity (count non-uniformity ~1%) Excellent M3R4#112 M3R4#107 A.P.Kashchuk
2 fundamental characteristics: Passport of chamber HV plateau and X-talks are measured on cosmics in self-triggering mode using 2AND-logic built-in inside FEE chip 1. Measured at equal HV 1. One bigap at HV=2450V, another - scan HV plateau 400V slope Cross-talks obtained from the slope of HV plateau: 5-10% in range of HV=2650-2750V It increases above 2800V, as expected Slope and cross-talks are less because one bigap at lower HV=2450V Note: X-talks are doubled at equal HV A.P.Kashchuk
Reference Cosmic rays flux Passport of chamber in Hz/m2 is reference to detect problems in both hardware and software (during debagging) Chambers horizontal HV operational 300V Correct cosmic rays fluxes at given acceptance, as expected Operational HV-plateau 300V, as expected Cross-talk in CPC (M5R1) is higher (see slope) w.r.t. WPC (M3R4), as expected A.P.Kashchuk

Mock-up tests at CERN All 20 various types of MWPC (CPC-SCRO, CPC-DCRO and WPC) fully and finally equipped are planed to be tested on mock-up A.P.Kashchuk
WorkStation schematics Control Data Very simple MWPC with CARDIAC Scalers VME crate 6U PC USB2 Canbus interface Hardware: CAEN USB-VME bridge -1 Service Board (Roma1) -1 Gate Board (Roma1) -1 Kvaser PCIcan 4HS board ACQ modules as 64-input scalers (Roma2, LNF) – # depends on MWPC and readout logic, e.g. 1 module for 8 WPC(M3R4) 1.5 for 1 M3R2 Software: (written by Rafael, still not finished) A.P.Kashchuk
Bad events and effects observed during preparation and tests on mock-up A.P.Kashchuk
Noise spectra A=00 M3R2#26 (Cathodes) Good 43 minutes per 192 channels at 100ms gate (case M4M5R1) ~ 1 hour per 224 ch. (M3R2) Multiply to number of chambers… ~ 2 months of work A=01 Good Very high parallelism is needed in pit to scan spectra and load parameters to FEE in a reasonable time A=02 Do we have so many operators with experience? From where they come? Good A=03 Good A.P.Kashchuk
A=04 Good M3R2#26 (Wires) A=05 Good A=06 Bad Good A=07 Good A=08 Bad A=09 A.P.Kashchuk
A=10 Good M3R2#26 (Cathodes) A=11 Good A=12 Good A=13 Bad A.P.Kashchuk
CARDIAC quality still low A.P.Kashchuk
1 • Cut data Bad Cable effects Such bouquet was not expected Bad 2 • Does not see FEE-addresses • Bad contact modifies 1sec time gate 3 4 • Pedestal appears 5 • Add noise Bad Bad A.P.Kashchuk
Serious problem with connector for I2C used in Service Board ? All SB produced Many cables already installed in pit A.P.Kashchuk
There is another problem Service Board sometime losses control (and SB even does not see FEE-ddresses); VME crate OFF/ON helps ? A.P.Kashchuk
Scope shows presence of parasitic voltage in ground The source: CAEN SY2527 ~2V p-p ~2V p-p A.P.Kashchuk
Voltage on CAEN ground w.r.t. Common ground (rack) 2V peak-peak A.P.Kashchuk
FFT gives a few peaks in range of 8-16MHz (well within FEE bandwidth) repeating rate ~38kHz ~2V p-p A radio-frequency cavity in the PS. f=8-16MHz A.P.Kashchuk
Statistics or missing counts? Cosmics counts collected during night in self-triggering mode (2AND logic) M5R1 HV=2450V ACQ? Statistics? Bad contacts in OPB – the worst case!!! A.P.Kashchuk
Note: ACQ can be used either as multi-scaler or register. In tests below it is 64-channel scaler; Missing counts due to ACQ are possible 50MHz In tests below ACQ satisfactory operates at ~ 100MHz A.P.Kashchuk
Good pulse width for ACQ 10ns Bad pulse width for ACQ 5ns Missing counts due to ACQ are possible A.P.Kashchuk
First cosmics on mock-up M5R1 HV=2650V ? Nothing A.P.Kashchuk
Replaced I2C-cable First panoramic view on mock-up M5R1 HV=2650V M5R1, HV=2750V TH=7fC 14 August 2006 30 minutes during lunch time Then during the day was impossible to reproduce Reasons…many Good A.P.Kashchuk
More on tests Tests were performed in presence of parasitic voltage in ground ~ 2V peak-to-peak of wide frequency spectrum A.P.Kashchuk
Criterion (noise count at operational threshold): cycle of 1sec – count uniformity and rate (Hz) M5R1#08 TH=6fC HV=2750V/2450V TH=7fC No uniformity TH=8fC TH=9fC A.P.Kashchuk
Criterion: statistics during long time– count uniformity No uniformity TH=10fC does not help M5R1#08 TH=6fC HV=2750V/2450V A.P.Kashchuk
Criterion (noise count at operational threshold): cycle of 1sec – count uniformity and rate (Hz) M5R1#08 TH=6fC HV=2750V/2450V No uniformity Before increasing thresholds one must try better ground FC to wall - as low impedance, as better A.P.Kashchuk
Cycle of 1sec – count uniformity and rate (Hz) M5R1:TH=6fC at HV2750/2450 Good Mean ~1-2Hz A.P.Kashchuk
Try to collect statistics during night … here ~ 2 hours TH=6fC at HV2750/2450 Cosmics M5R1#08 Count non-uniformity <10% (statistics) A.P.Kashchuk
Result Statistics during ~12 hours of real time M5R1 2750/2450V Pulse width 25ns Count non-uniformity 5.6% Statistics ~3%, what other ~3% Other 3% - X-talks non-uniformity (profile, modulation) Grouping of bins reduce visible %, see case of M4R4 (2AND/4OR logic) in slide 23 A.P.Kashchuk
Statistics during ~12 hours of real time (another day) M5R1 2750/2450V Pulse width 20ns Count non-uniformity 5.6% A.P.Kashchuk
Statistics during ~6 hours M5R1 2750/2450V Pulse width 17ns Count non-uniformity 9% A.P.Kashchuk
Statistics during ~1 hour M5R1 2750/2450V Pulse width 10ns Count non-uniformity 22% Missing counts dominate here, ACQ can not count A.P.Kashchuk
Readout logic in DIALOG No software yet A.P.Kashchuk
CERN chambers M4M5R1 A.P.Kashchuk
HV-plateau and slope - correct Cosmic rays flux - correct Passport of chamber ~300V plateau (operational) ~5% cross-talks at 2650V Higher gain in left side Rather slow work:6 minutes of real time per pointin lab. ~1 hour/point in pit A.P.Kashchuk

Thank to Rafael for participation in measurements INFN chambers M3M4M5R3 Where resistor in HV-return? A.P.Kashchuk
Operation: CARDIAC replaced (DIALOG bad, CARIOCA good) A.P.Kashchuk
There is HV-plateau X-talks- too much Cosmic rays flux - correct Passport of chamber TH=6fC ~300V plateau (operational) Slope more than in WPC, as expected, higher cross-talks due to higher capacitive coupling and due to not enough Cblock Higher gain in left side A.P.Kashchuk
HV=2550/2650V, TH=7fC@13mV/fC Logic 2AND Count non-uniformity ~3% modulated by X-talks A.P.Kashchuk
