  1. COMET Comments --- Readout for the COMET e Tracker With special THANKS to my sponsors of this talk Satoshi Mihara Manobu Tanaka Masaharu Aoki Ed Hungerford University of Houston (for the COMET Collaboration) Ed Hungerford

  2. IntroductiontoCOMET • COMET (Phase I) is a search for coherent, neutrino-less conversion of muons to electron (μ-e conversion) at a single event sensitivity of 0.5x10-16 • The experiment offers a powerful probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model. • COMET will be undertaken at J-PARC. Phase I (COMET) uses a slow-extracted, bunched 8 GeV proton beam from the J-PARC main ring. • A proposal was submit to J-PARC Dec. 2007, and a Conceptual Design Report submitted June 2009. COMET now has Stage-1 approval from the J-PARC PAC (July 2009), and is completing R&D for the TDR. Ed Hungerford

  3. Design Considerations for COMET (and generally all high precision measurements of zero) • Electron Resolution Minimal Detector Material – Thin, Low Z Vacuum Environment REDUNDENT measurements of the electron track • Rates Up to 500 kHZ single rates Large channel count R/O timing (~1 ns) and analog information • Dynamic Range Protons 30-40 times Eloss for MIP Pileup and saturation Maintain MIP track efficiency • Low-Power, Low-foot print electronics Heat Signal Transmission through the vacuum walls Noise • Robust measurements • REDUNDANCY (Redundancy, Redundancy, Redundancy) Ambiguous hits, dead channels, accidentals Reconstruction of ghost tracks Ed Hungerford for the COMET collaboration

  4. μ→eγ and μ-e Conversion μ→eγ : Accidental background is given by (rate)2. To push sensitivity the detector resolutions and timing must be improved. However, (in particular photon detection) it would be hard to do better than MEG. The ultimate sensitivity of MEG is about 10-14 (with a run of 108/sec). μe conversion : Improvement of a muon beam is possible, both in purity (no pions) and in intensity (muon collider R&D). Higher beam intensity can be used with present timing technology because no coincidence is required. Ed Hungerford

  5. COMET at J-PARC Pulsed Proton Beam p Source B(m + Al)  e + Al <10-16 electron Transport  target  Transport 5 m Detection • Modification of MECO/MELC • Requires slow extracted, pulsed beam ~8 GeV • Mu2e at FNAL is another MECO resurrection Ed Hungerford

  14. Readout Architecture • On-Detector amplification and digitizing – events passed by optical fiber in serial to an external DAQ (Parallel transfer is also possible) • Electronics based on CMOS to conserve space and power (<65 Mw/ch) – radiation damage is not a problem • Mounted on the detector frame • A (MECO) system has been previously prototyped and demonstrated • COMET Data rates are reasonable

  15. COMET Tracker FE Organization Assuming: 60-125MHz clock and 10-20 clock ticks for an event (160 ns) (10-20+ 11) x 4x5x1.5 words for an event and 16 bits for a word 1k/s event rate The total data rate is ~10-15 Mb/s with zero suppression Ed Hungerford

  23. ASIC Digitizer • Digitizer ASIC Design •  based on the ELEFANT ASIC used in BABAR (8 channels/ASIC) • Work in collaboration with design engineers at LBL • Rescale ASIC to 0.25 m technology and 3.2 V interfaces • Solves identified problems with the ELEFANT design • Change clock frequency (20-60 Mhz) • Change from waveform sampling to time-slice integration • Increase ADC bits to 10 • ~5 s Latency, self or external trigger • Power Consumption 65 mW/channel (Total Power 1,650 W) Design (LBL Engineer) $518K; Fabrication (2prototypes) 2 x $45k; Preproduction samples $50k; Production and packaging $231k, Testing $42k => $931k + 37% contingency Several more modern Waveform (ADC Sampling) ASICS designs are Possible for COMET -- e.g. Belle, PSI designs, ATLAS, etc Ed Hungerford

  29. Each ROC has a FPGA to control the readout sequence from the Elefant II chips. Data are stored on the board temporarily in the dual-port RAM. Configurations, like the number of channels connected to this board, readout mode (sparse mode, zero-suppression mode, etc.), are configured through the I2C bus. To FE Board CONN. CONN. CONN. CONN.

  30. Fast Control Signal • Reset, Trigger, and Reference clock are provided by DAQ system (Trigger and Fast Control Fan-out ). • These are transmitted as differential signals (LVDS). • Reference clock is 10MHz with reasonable jitter. On the module controller or ROC, this clock frequency will be divided by PLL to the sampling frequency (40-60MHz) with much smaller jitter (~200ps) to satisfy ADC requirement. • Event numbers are embedded in the trigger signal (real time trigger signal followed with the number) . • The Control module feeds the fast control signal to each ROC Box through 4 pairs low skew differential, shielded cable. No matter how far the ROC is from the module controller, all these Fast Control lines must have the same length to reduce the time skew. This will also ensure the timing accuracy for the whole system. Ed Hungerford

  31. Data Transfer • Data transfer from ROC to the module controller uses shielded twisted pair cable (low skew <150ps /10m). • From the module controller, data passes feedthrough to the Event Builder of DAQ: differential copper wire or optic fiber. • Differential copper wire: • Easy to install from the vacuum wall. • Can be 100Mb/s (CAT-5e) or 200Mb/s (CAT-6). Up to 100m • Full bandwidth is not used due to protocols (handshaking). • Cheaper. • Optic fiber: • Penetrations through the vacuum wall? Hermetic feed through exits. No engineering experience. • Fast. Can be ~Gb/s. ~km long. • Radiation hardness of the transceiver should be considered. • Costs more. Ed Hungerford

  33. 2nd Coordinate Readout Possible Methods of 2nd Coordinate Measurements in Wire Detectors1) Induction on the cathode a) Strips (pads) b) Delay lines parallel to the anode wires 2) Anode readout a) Charge division on a resistive anode (NIM A479(02)591) or Cathode b) Signal timing between the straw ends c) Signal rise time Tracking with multiple hits in the detector planes can produce ghost trajectories. A 2nd readout might reduce ambiguities.

  34. Charge Division Readout (IEEE 42(95)1430) L/L ~0.6% Signal Division

  35. Charge Division Issues Charge division might provide a 2nd coordinate readout with resolution on the order of L/L  1%; BUT1) The resolution deteriorates with background rate 2) Reducing the integration gate, implementing base line restoration reduces the collected charge (resolution)3) Maintaining calibration requires special data runs and pulser inputs (automated)4) Careful design of all electronics to reduce noise and termination of lines (frequency dependence) 5) Precision wire resistance and analog preamp 6) Shaping amp is a compromise between noise reduction (very sensitive) and rate handling5) Both ADC and TDC readout7) Charge integration within a time gate

  36. Delay Line Readout NIM A479(02)591 DL = 6.5mm 1.7 m long drift-cell

  37. Straw Delay Line ~1m straw delay line is presently under construction Strip width is 1mm spaced by 1mm Expected time delay for 1m is 45 ns one-way. Differential readout to remove common mode propagation

  38. Delay Line Issues Delay Line Timing might provide a 2nd coordinate readout with resolution on the order of L ~ 5 mm. The time sum equals propagation delay + drift time, better signal stability, and anode wire hit ID’ed. BUT1) Requires additional material2) More difficult to construct3) More electronics to build and install in a limited space4) Capacitive and inductive coupling between channels5) Careful electronic design 6) Calibration

  39. Summary COMET is a Phase I search for coherent, neutrino-less conversion of muons to electron (μ-e conversion) at a single event sensitivity of 10-16 The experiment offers a powerful probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment will be undertaken at the J-PARC NP Hall using a slowly-extracted, bunched proton beam from the J-PARC main ring. The Experiment is developing a TDR and refining design details. The experiment has completed a CDR and has Stage-1 approval of the J-PARC PAC. The electronic readout of the tracker (and calorimeter) is challenging, requiring new ASIC development that have low power, excellent timing, reasonable resolution, and rate handling, and are robust. The system design requires on detector digitization, storage, buffering, and latency. The event builder must reconstruct events from asynchronous buffer reads We need expert engineering experience with the technical designs Ed Hungerford
