  1. DCH Summary G. Finocchiaro For the DCH group XIV SuperB Meeting LNF, 1 October 2010

  2. Topics Discussed in This Meeting • Lab activities • Background studies • Cell design optimization • DCH Readout architecture G. Finocchiaro

  3. LAB activities @LNF – Prototype 1 Continuing cosmic ray data taking with “Proto 1” • 6x4 BABAR–like hex cells – external tracker with ≤80mm extrapolation accuracy • Campaign with He + various iC4H10/CH4/C2H6 mixtures and HV / threshold settings MT track PROTO1 track Al-Mylar windows 10cm lead pcut~150MeV/c G. Finocchiaro

  4. Space-time correlations Example: 60%He-40%C2H6 @HV=2010V • Measured time vs. extrapolated impact parameter – t vs. R • Fit R vs. t relationship using Chebyshev polynomials of order (up to) 5 • Time range rescaled to [-1,+1] interval Drift velocity G. Finocchiaro

  5. Space-time relations fits (cont.) • Border cells show some L-R asymmetry • Internal cells are symmetric L+R RIGTH L+R RIGTH LEFT LEFT 60%He-40%C2H6 HV=2010V G. Finocchiaro

  6. Track fit residuals & Spatial resolution – 60%He-40%C2H6 60%He-40%C2H6 HV=2010V G. Finocchiaro

  7. Gas Mixture Comparison PRESENTED @ ELBA NEW • tmax and space resolution depend on other parameters. Figures shown are preliminary and indicative • Results for iC4H10 and CH4 –based gas mixtures to be updated with analysis software used for C2H6 gases G. Finocchiaro

  8. Drift Tubes for Cluster Counting CINJ = 1.8 pF • Two square-section tubes (24mm side) built to study cluster counting issues in simplified environment. • One tube (400mm long), equipped with 250MHz BW preamplifier placed on top of our telescope Gain ≈ 5 mV/fC Noise ≈ 1900 erms @ CIN = 3pF • Waveform digitized with the DRS4 switched capacitor array (http://drs.web.psi.ch/) • 4 channels, 1024 channels each @ 5GSa/sec max. • remaining channels read 3 cells of Proto 1 • Dump waveforms when at least one of them exceeds 25mV In spite of x3 higher preamp bandwidth, a noise level similar to proto1 (~1.4 mV RMS) is obtained with a careful shielding (…) G. Finocchiaro

  9. Counting Clusters… • Adequate preamp bandwidth is (clearly) crucial to count clusters (1st attempt at) Peak finding 85%He-15%C2H6 nP=10.2/cm INPUT SIGNAL 1024 channels, 2Gsample/sec TARGET SIGNAL (cluster) Position of peaks from finding algorithm G. Finocchiaro

  10. Lab Activity @TRIUMF: Wire Aging Tests size of single electron peak increases due to Malter effect as chamber ages • Goal is to verify that the chamber will survive the SuperB lifetime. • Test proposed materials using single cell, as per Boyarski. e.g. bare Al wire. • Primarily a test of Malter effect (field wire aging). • Uses 55Fe both to age the wires and to characterize performance. A. M. Boyarski, Nucl. Instr. Meth. A 535, 632 (2004) SCHEMATIC picoammeter monitors total deposited charge G. Finocchiaro

  11. Charge collected by aging chamber in 55Fe events low pulse-height events due to interactions near edge of cell Higher gain (3.3x) — 55Fe peak off scale to precisely measure the 1e- peak auger events in gold normalized noise/cosmic spectrum 55Fe G. Finocchiaro ADC channel

  12. Lab Activity @TRIUMF: Cluster Counting • Single-cell 2.7m long drift tube to test the feasibility of detecting individual clusters as they drift to the sense wire. • dispersion and attenuation as a function of distance from preamp. • Start with 55Fe, ~170 e- in BaBar gas (He:Iso 80:20, no water). • aim to use UV laser eventually, to generate small, triggered pulses • First preliminary results • example: rise time as a function of distance from preamp aluminized-mylar windows G. Finocchiaro

  13. Topics Discussed in This Meeting • Lab activities • Background studies • Cell design optimization • DCH Readout architecture G. Finocchiaro

  14. “SuperB” layer configuration in FullSim G. Finocchiaro

  17. G. Finocchiaro

  18. Occupancy from Large-angle Bhabha’s with FastSim D. Swersky (McGill) SHIELDED UNSHIELDED G. Finocchiaro

  19. Issues to be solved • Background rate depends on GEANT4 step length • incorrect treatment of Coulomb diffusion in low-density material? • Belle-II estimate much smaller background rate from radiative Bhabha’s and much larger from Touschek than we do (H. Nakayama’ talk on Tuesday 28th) G. Finocchiaro

  20. Topics Discussed in This Meeting • Lab activities • Background studies • Cell layout optimization with Garfield • DCH Readout architecture G. Finocchiaro

  21. Garfield studies of cell shapeand superlayer transitions Chris Hearty, Philip Lu

  22. Transitions between stereo superlayers

  26. Topics Discussed in This Meeting • Lab activities • Background studies • Cell design optimization • DCH Readout architecture G. Finocchiaro

  27. G. FELICI (LNF) Data transfer optimization Trigger 1 Ch n 32 samples Trigger 2 Ch n+i 32 samples Trigger 3 Ch n+i 32 samples • FEE data transfer optimization : download the 3 events as a single “big” event • Pro : Front-End data transfer optimization • Cons : • events are overlapped in the same data frame (further elaboration required to split single events) • data frames do not have the same lengths (L1 trigger occurrences) The trigger burst case Event management optimization Trigger 1 Ch n 32 samples Trigger 2 Ch n+i 32 samples Trigger 3 Ch n+i 32 samples • Single event data transfer : readout each event separately • Pro : • Front-End events have the same size • FEX can be applied while reading the event • Readout procedure provides event de-randomization • Cons : • Partial (previous) L1 event re-reading LNF-SuperB Workshop – September 2010

  28.

  29. Summary • Good progress in many areas including: • study of gas mixtures with prototypes • evaluation of background for different shields and DCH geometries • Definition of optimal cell layout • Aging tests • Effort starting on: • Cluster counting R&D • Design of readout chain • DCH trigger still to be tackled G.
