Presentation Transcript
Beam Test @ GSI • 12C beam, 1 GeV/A, Pb-target • Tested: Inner Read-Out Chamber • 512 channels equipped with CERES preamp & FADC/Altro • purpose: test stability of chamber at high load (< 50% occupancy) and high gain (<3 104)
chamber target beam Setup in CAVE B
CERES t=323 ns minimal undershoot t=426 ns
Occupancy vs. Target Thickness Uanode=1280 V 5 mm/ ≈ 20 A 10 mm/ ≈ 35 A
Occupancy vs. Anode Voltage Uanode=1200 V Uanode=1250 V
Occupancy vs. Beam Intensity R = 0.25106 part./spill R = 0.7106 part./spill R = 1.2106 part./spill
Anode Signal low average current max. drift time
Summary • IROC tested at: • <Ianode> ≈ 5-80 A • occupancies ≤ 50% • Uanode ≤ 1300 V • we oberve: • stable operation • Ianode = 0 between spills • no saturation or gain drop in pad signals
