  1. Proposal for UK involvement in CALICE Paul Dauncey Imperial College for the CALICE-UK groups UK CALICE Involvement

  2. The UK people • 19 names, 5 institutes: • Birmingham; C.M.Hawkes, N.K.Watson • Cambridge; C.G.Ainsley, M.A.Thomson, D.R.Ward • Imperial; D.A.Bowerman, W.Cameron, P.D.Dauncey, D.R.Price, O.Zorba • UCL; J.M.Butterworth, D.J.Miller, M.Postranecky, M.Warren • Manchester; R.J.Barlow, I.P.Duerdoth, N.M.Malden, D.Mercer, R.J.Thompson UK CALICE Involvement

  3. A future linear collider • A future e+e–linear collider (LC) with: • High centre-of-mass energy; 500 – 1000 GeV • High luminosity; 3 – 10 x 1034 cm-2 s-1 • is regarded as a high priority for the future of HEP. • It is strongly supported worldwide: • EFCA; July 2001. • HEPAP/Snowmass; September 2001. • ACFA; September 2001. • as well as in the UK: • Blair report; September 2001. • and the technical feasibility was demonstrated by: • TESLA TDR; March 2001. UK CALICE Involvement

  4. Physics at a linear collider • The earliest date for a LC to start would be 2012, so it has to be seen in the context of the LHC: • Higgs; mass will be known (if it exists). • Existence of SUSY; some particles identified if so. • Top quark mass; known to 1 - 2 GeV • The physics programme at a LC would complement that from the LHC (as LEP did after UA1/2) with precision measurements: • Fundamental quantities; e.g. Higgs and top mass. • Distinguish models; e.g. details of SUSY spectrum. UK CALICE Involvement

  5. Physics at a LC (2) • Particular highlights of a LC physics programme include: • Higgs; mass, width, fermion and gauge boson • couplings, spin and parity, self-coupling. • SUSY; masses, couplings, mixing parameters, • charged Higgs, separation of close-lying states. • Strong Symmetry Breaking; if no Higgs, study WLWL • and ZLZL scattering with nnW+W– and nnZZ final states. • Top; mass to 0.2 GeV with a threshold scan. • LC physics programme could take around 10 years – – UK CALICE Involvement

  6. Calorimetry at a LC • Most states of interest result in quarks and hence hadronic jets; combining these to give masses needs: • Angles; straightforward to measure accurately. • Energies; much more complicated. • LEP experience showed jet energies are best measured using “energy flow” algorithms: • Explicit association of tracks and clusters. • Prevents double counting of track/cluster energies. • Needs a “tracking calorimeter” with fine granularity. • Intrinsic calorimeter energy resolution is secondary • for jets (but still needed for e/g) • Aleph achieved DE/E = 60%/E in the central region. UK CALICE Involvement

  7. TESLA TDR Si-W ECAL • TESLA TDR specified a silicon-tungsten (Si-W) sampling electromagnetic calorimeter: • 40 layers, between • 0.4 and 1.2X0 • (radiation lengths). • 24X0 total thickness. • 32 million channels. UK CALICE Involvement

  8. Si-W properties • Tungsten has: • Small Moliere radius; ~ 9 mm; gives narrow • showers and so reduces overlaps. The effective • Moliere radius depends also on gap and pixel sizes. • Short radiation length; X0 ~ 3.5 mm; depth of ECAL • can be kept small ~ 20 cm. • Small radiation/interaction length; good • longitudinal separation of EM and hadronic • showers. • Silicon diodes also have good properties: • Dimensions; gaps and pixels can be kept small • Signals; reasonable size and simple to use UK CALICE Involvement

  9. TDR ECAL issues TDR tried to specify a “perfect” physics ECAL: • No amplification inside calorimeter volume • No cooling pipes needed • Keep gaps small • Si pixel sizes 1cm x 1cm • Matched to Moliere radius • Large number of channels to calibrate • Electronics space restricted • Requires significant electronics integration; analogue, digital and optical UK CALICE Involvement

  10. TDR ECAL cost • The main figure of (de)merit is the cost… • ECAL total cost of 133 Meuros ~ 90 Mpounds: • Silicon wafers; 70% of the cost: • Effectively only depends on the total area, • i.e. number of layers. • Pixel size is almost irrelevant to cost. • Coil size; ~2 Meuros per extra cm: • Gap size directly impacts size (multiplied by • a factor 40) • Cost/performance optimisation is needed: • Complex, multi-parameter space. UK CALICE Involvement

  11. TDR performance For hadronic jets, TDR calorimeters give DE/E = 33%/E with further improvement possible from better algorithms. • For Z or W to two • jets, this gives • sZ/W ~ GZ/W • Distinguishes • nnW+W– and nnZZ • final states • Photons have • DE/E = 1%+10%/E • Higgs  gg gives • sm ~ 2 GeV DE/E = 60%/E DE/E = 30%/E – – UK CALICE Involvement

  12. What needs to be known • How does jet resolution degrade with: • Number of layers; obvious cost factor for Si wafers • Pad size; determines number of channels and hence electronics cost • Number of dead channels; wafer yield is major cost factor for Si wafers • Inter-layer gaps; can cooling pipes be inserted? Can electronics be inside the ECAL? • Resolution/calibration; how good does it need to be and how will it be measured? • These require an accurate hadronic simulation to answer: • For a possible LC start in 2012, need answers by 2005 UK CALICE Involvement

  13. The CALICE collaboration • Formed to study issues of calorimetry for a LC. Currently 96 physicists, 17 institutes, 7 countries: • Spokesperson; J.-C. Brient, LPNHE - Ecole Polytechnique • Steering Board chair; R.-D. Heuer, Hamburg/DESY. • Studying both ECAL and HCAL, as energy flow requires integrated approach: • ECAL; Si-W option  UK interest • HCAL; tile scintillator or “digital” RPCs • Two separate efforts: • “Physics prototype”; beam test  UK interest • “Technical prototype”; mechanical TDR structure UK CALICE Involvement

  14. Physics prototype • Beam test of ECAL and both HCAL options. ECAL; • Total 30 layers, 24X0; • 10 x 0.4X0 • 10 x 0.8X0 • 10 x 1.2X0 • Total 9720 channels; • 3x3 wafers/layer • 6x6 channels/wafer • Active volume; • 18 x 18 x 18 cm3 • Scheduled for early 2004 UK CALICE Involvement

  15. UK proposal • We propose to work in two areas: • Readout and DAQ; for the physics prototype. We would provide the readout electronics for the ECAL. As the tile HCAL might be able to use the same boards, we propose to supply those also. We would also provide the DAQ for the whole system. • Simulation studies; on the development of energy flow algorithms and the impact of the calorimeter design. In addition, we would work on the ECAL cost/performance optimisation. • These both clearly lead to analysis of the beam test data UK CALICE Involvement

  16. Proposed readout system Short timescale, so aim for simplicity and robustness, not high performance or any major technical development. All in VME; readout boards directly connected to wafer/VFE PCBs, trigger board to distribute trigger in crate UK CALICE Involvement

  17. Readout board • Reads out 6 PCBs; total of 15 readout boards. • 18 channels from each VFE chip digitised by 16-bit ADC; 648 total per board. • DACs for calibration pulse to VFE inputs. • FPGA for board control, VFE and VME interfaces. • Board reads 1296 bytes per event; 19 kBytes total for ECAL. UK CALICE Involvement

  18. Trigger and test boards • The trigger board handles trigger to readout boards: • Distributes trigger to readout boards via J2 backplane. • Vetos further triggers until readout complete. • Possibly distributes triggers to HCAL readout. • In addition, a test board is needed: • Connects to readout board through PCB cable. • Supplies all VFE output to readout board, checks all VFE input from readout board. • Conceptually an “inverted” readout board with swapped DACs  ADCs; similar implementation. UK CALICE Involvement

  19. Data acquisition • Needs to readout whole physics prototype, not just ECAL. • Data volumes: • ECAL; 9720 channels, ~ 19 kBytes. • Tile HCAL; around 1200 channels, ~ 2 kBytes. • Digital HCAL; around 400k channels, ~50 kBytes. • VME maximum limit will be around 1 kHz; aim for 100 Hz. • Around 107 to 108 events expected. • One to two months data taking. • Total data volume of order 1 Tbyte. UK CALICE Involvement

  20. Simulation studies • Simulation studies form an integral part of this work: • Develop energy flow algorithms based on both calorimeters and the inner tracking detectors. • CALICE simulation uses GEANT4; need to verify both the electromagnetic and hadronic interaction descriptions. • Investigate proposed changes to the calorimeter structure or readout and their effect on energy flow resolution. • Optimise the ECAL performance within a more realistic cost envelope; check effects of reducing the number of silicon layers, resolution, dead channels, etc. UK CALICE Involvement

  21. Milestones • The end point is fixed; a beam test early in 2004. The schedule to get to this is: • System specification; • Complete; end June 2002 • Readout board; • Prototype design complete; end December 2002 • Prototype fabrication complete; end February 2003 • Prototype tests complete; end June 2003 • Production design complete; end July 2003 • Production fabrication complete; end September 2003 • Production tests complete; end December 2003 UK CALICE Involvement

  22.

UK CALICE Involvement

  23. Equipment request • The estimated cost of the equipment is as follows: • NRE; total = £2k • Readout boards; £2800 x 22 boards = £62k • Trigger boards*; £1200 x 3 boards = £4k • Test board; £2900 x 1 board = £3k • Cables*; £30 x 100 cables = £3k • PC and disk; £4k PC, £8k disk = £12k • VME interfaces; £4k PCI/VME, £3k extender = £7k • VME crates; £5k x 2 crates = £10k • The total is £103k, of which £23k would be spent in FY02/03 and the remaining £80k in FY03/04. • (*Cost depends on external factors and is less certain) UK CALICE Involvement

  24. Engineering effort • The estimated engineering effort needed is as follows: • Readout boards; 18 months • Trigger boards; 6 months • Test board; 6 months • Layout and fabrication; 4 months • The total is 34 months, of which 17 months would be needed in FY02/03 and the remaining 17 months in FY03/04.The University groups can provide 18 months of this; we request the rest from RAL TD: • Board design; 12 months, 6 months in each FY • Layout and fabrication; 4 months, 2 months in each FY UK CALICE Involvement

  25. Summary • Excellent calorimetry is vital to the physics programme of a future linear collider. Algorithms and simulation both need work to be able to design the calorimeters needed. • Within the ECAL, there are many interesting problems to be solved. The baseline TESLA TDR solution may not be optimal and can probably be made cheaper. • The UK has a critical mass of bodies to get involved; it • Has made itself known to the CALICE collaboration • Has carved out a role in the short term • Is keeping options open for the longer term • Needs funding to proceed further UK CALICE Involvement
