  1. NA62 straw readout • Characterization and qualification of the frontend electronics • Detector and interface to frontend • Small readout system • Plans • Expected activities till December 2010 and for the next year

  2. Characterization and qualification of the frontend electronics • Situation • Good quality on time measurement for both leading and trailing edges is crucial for event building, analysis and eventual trigger/veto • CARIOCA • Ongoing characterization of the chip • From lab and test beam measurements, 1 -7 pulses on single particle depending on gas • Waiting for analysis from test beam • Frontend board (cover) with 1 bug (reverted output polarity on one chip) • Not serious for test beam • Will be fixed in the next version • At the moment all indicates good quality of system design, if decided to go this way we need only small modifications • GASII • Ongoing characterization of the chip • Not yet connected to straw • Test bench measurements show good performance • Slightly longer shaping can help with multiple pulses • Characterization and test with straws must be finished before December • Production plan not yet fixed

  3. Characterization and qualification of the frontend electronics • Discrete electronics • Reason • Possibility to tune shaping (avoid multiple pulses on single particle, optimize performance) • Possibility to use constant-fraction discri if needed • Differential input to improve S/N and suppress crosstalk • status • Design and simulation finished • 4 channel functional and dimensional demonstrator • 1 channel needs ~10mm strip • PCB designed and going to production • Crucial components already delivered

  4. Characterization and qualification of the frontend electronics

  5. Time jitter • What parameters for time measurements? • If only noise from electronics, optimum peaking time is ~8*t0 for point-like ionization • Due to noise from the detector and components around, and due to electron arrival time fluctuation, the good compromise is considered ~(4-6)*t0 • T0 for Ar:CO2 is ~2.3ns, BUT, close to wire (firsts 10nth of ns) it is rather 2-3 times higher due to ion non-linear mobility • T0 which matters for timing (2-3)*2.3ns ~ 5ns • So, peaking time should be (4-6)*5ns = 20ns-30ns (CARIOCA ~12ns, GASII ~17ns, discrete tunable) • Jitter of FE alone • CARIOCA done (Johan) • GASII done (Johan) • Discrete when produced • ‘real’ time jitter is entirely determined by • Noise from the detector • System noise • Signal formation in the straw

  6. Time jitter • CARIOCA and GASII tested with • Delta charge (step voltage over 1.8pF capacitor) • Simulated point-like ionization for t0 = 1ns, 2.5ns, 5ns • Signal to noise ratio = 10

  7. Time jitter CARIOCA • Results • Delta • 49 ps leading edge • 61 ps trailing edge • T0 = 1 ns • 61ps leading edge • 170 ps trailing edge • T0 = 2.5 ns • 63ps leading edge • 267pstrailing edge • T0 = 5 ns • 66ps leading edge • 417ps trailing edge

  8. Time jitter GASII • Results • Delta • 158 ps leading edge • 257ps trailing edge • T0 = 1 ns • 218ps leading edge • 402ps trailing edge • T0 = 2.5 ns • 221ps leading edge • 365 ps trailing edge • T0 = 5 ns • 241ps leading edge • 405ps trailing edge

  9. Detector and interface to frontend • Web circuit • Big sensitivity observed • Placement • Distance from straw pin • length • Crosstalk • Waiting for test beam results • Test in lab with injected signals and cosmics • Noise and sensitivity • Waiting for test beam results • Tests in lab (characterization) of chips • Tests with cosmics and Fe55

  10. Small readout system • Design started • 6U VME board • Serving 4 SCSI cables with present covers • Serving 4 ethernet cables with new frontend (TDC on cover) • Readout and control over VME backplane • Design service at CERN prepared to do the layout and production ASAP • Technical student expected to take a significant role in design, testing and debugging

  11. Plans • For the readout of the first chamber next year and common testbeam we have to • Finish characterization and tests of various frontend electronics in December • Finish characterization and tests of detector interface and grounding and shielding in December • Take decision in Dec/Jan on frontend and detector • Develop and construct small readout system (demonstrator) in 2010 • For the testbeam 2011 we can maybe use small readout • Study of readout (backend) boards including TELL1 can continue in 2011 • (Wo)man power • Myself 70% • Borrowed technician from ESE/ME group till …? • Technical student from 1.10.2010

  12. Expected activities till December 2010 • Frontend • Characterization of CARIOCA and GASII • Discrete frontend • Results from testbeam • Detector interface • Web circuit • Crosstalk • Noise • Prototype of readout system • Readout for 4 covers (fe boards) for different versions • Qualification of the connectivity (SCSI or ethernet) • Ordering of cables (depends on previous) • Last two can happen in january 2011 as also depends on final backend

  13. Expected activities in 2011 • Frontend • Decision on the analog (CARIOCA,PENN, DISCRETE) • Design and test of preproduction version • Design (if needed) and production of final version for 1 chamber • Develop procedure and electronics for testing and debugging for serial production • Define required tests and procedures • Injector board and readout • Software • Backend • Design and production of preproduction readout (SRB or TELL1) • Design (if needed) and production of final readout for 1 chamber • Develop procedure and electronics for testing and debugging for serial production • Test beam with one chamber with final electronics
