  1. Timing Counterstatus @ july 2004

  2. Timing Counter Activities • Timing resolution: 100 ps FWHM havebeen achieved. • PM’s characteristics in the COBRA magnet: gain and timing. • Full charactherisation of single TC’s counter is started • Final design and integration with DC is started • Ф-detector : APD directly from Hamamatsu

  3.

  4. PM Drift Chamber assembly COBRA Magnet Scintillator slab Gain and TTS in the COBRA Magnet (April 04) Test of PM’s gain and timing resolution in the final operating conditions

  5. Gain vs Rate Zero field 1.05 T 27.5º The Gain vs Rate at 1500 V in zero field is fully recovered at 1.05 T and 27.5º at 2100 V. Unallowable increase of biasing voltage are needed at 0º.

  6. Gain Vs Bias at several angles +10º Max gain curve in magn. field Same gain +10º

  7. RMS timing resolution vs p.e. attenuator 60ps pulsed blue Laser 100um Fiber Laser beam illuminates the whole photocatode PM

  8. 50x39 mm • Conclusions: • 2” PMs allow to obtain the target resolution • At first order, the resolution is limited by the number of photoelectrons (light output from scintillator, quantum efficiency of PM, coupling scintillator-PM[2”], which has 39 mm dia. active area) • At second order, the slew rate could be used to improve the resolution in small signal regime: we have demonstrated that amplification recovers the timing resolution. • 2” PMs can supply 100uA -maximum- current ( 10uA for 1.5” PMs) • 2” PMs Lifetime=100uAx100h which correspond to 2.3 years at the event rate of 50kHz @ gain of 6x105. An increase of a factor 2 can be easily obtained. • To be done: • First systematic tests of single element of TC started in the run (May, 31 – June, 12) and will continue in the Frascati BTF • Finalize the design of TC and integration with DC 39x39 mm

  13. Scint. Fibers 5 x 10 mm APD Curved detector (triggering) • The design of the curved detectors has been modified in order to match the budget limits for procurement of virgin APD form Hamamatsu (159 Euro/each). • ~ 80 scintillating fibers and 160 APD per each TC. • Procurement preliminary procedure started

  15. - detector (triggering) • We found good APDs with high S/N ratio that we tested at PSI and LNF (Frascati) e- beam Pure e-beam

  16. - detector (triggering) • But, only about 10% of the selected APDs are good enough • Huge spread in dynamic parameters not predictable from static parameters [left figure] • The CMS selection and conditioning of the first batch of APDs is not applicable to MEG (we are working at few Volts from Vbkd – high gain- and we are interested to high slew rate and high S/N for timing purpose) • For comparison new APDs from Hamamatsu have similar response[right figure] • More work is needed to better understand the correlation between static and dynamic parameters of CMS APDs. from CMS selection From Hamamatsu
