  2. Contents • PMT R&D • New PMT with double Al strip • New base design with zener diodes • PMT response under the COBRA field • Neutron BG measurement  Previous talk • Cryostat/PMT holder design • Calibration/Monitoring • Another CEX beam test at pE5 • Schedule

  3. Photocathode New breeder circuit with zener diodes Test under the COBRA magnetic field PMT R&D

  4. Motivation • Under high rate background, PMT output (old Type PMT, R6041Q) reduced by 10-20%. • This output deterioration has a time constant (order of 10min.): Related to the characteristics of photocathode whose surface resistance increases at low temperature. • Rb-Sc-Sb + Mn layer used in R6041Q • Not easy to obtain “high” gain. Need more alkali for higher gain. • Larger fraction of alkali changes the characteristic of PC at low temp. So, New Type PMTs, R9288 (TB series) were tested under high rate background environment. • K-Sc-Sb + Al strip used in R9288 • Al strip, instead of Mn layer, to fit with the dynode pattern Confirmed stable output. ( Reported in last BVR) But slight reduction of output in very high rate BG Add more Al Strip Al Strip Pattern • Low surface resistance R9288 ZA series Yasuko HISAMATSU MEG VRVS Meeting @PSI June 2004

  5. R6041Q (Rb-Sc-Sb w/o Al strip used in LP) 83MeV g Serial # Lab test Test LED with crowing LED (0.8 microA) 55MeV g Only base current shortage effect Beam on -105oC 25oC

  6. Works on Design of PMT Final! • Two Issues to be solved: • Output deterioration caused by high rate background. • (Effects of ambient temperature on Photocathode ) • Ans. Reduce Surface Resistance by adding Aluminum Strip Pattern • 2. Shortage of Bleeder Circuit Current • Ans. Improve Design of the Circuit by adding Zener Diode Delivered from HPK in April Rate Dependence Test @ Liq.Xe HPK has started to work on new bleeder circuit design Yasuko HISAMATSU MEG VRVS Meeting @PSI June 2004

  7. PMT test facility in Pisa • Is operating stabily and allows to test PMTs in Lxe with • Alpha sources (QE) • LEDs (high rate test) • Laser light through fiber (stability) • Compare each PMT to a reference PMT • Reference PMT fixed. Change test PMT.

  8. PMT fast change mode successfully tested • Linear motion to “dip” PMTs • Gate valve to isolate N2/Xe • Allows to test several PMTs/day (5) • Alpha-source signal • Anticorrelation in liquid not seen in gas • Purity of Xe? checking Liquid Gas Lower Upper SUM

  9. High rate tests • In parallel with -source/purity tests • Check on Double-Al-Grid PMTs (unfortunately only 2 samples) • NO effect seen at 4 A anodic current at -109°C (1 Atm) • Note: usually Xe kept at -105, 1.3 Atm • ZA1985 • ZA1980 Crowding ON OFF

  10. New 9288 (ZA1980 and ZA1985) compared to TB604(in Ar gas and LXe) I=4 A Plateau/Peak TB604 ZA1980 ZA1985

Condition & Procedure • alpha source : ~200Hz, • LED pulse height:4000p.e. ~ 7200 p.e./event pulse shape: ~10nsec rate: 500Hz ~ 10KHz • Trigger: alpha self trigger (veto by LED driver pulse) • Procedure • Pedestal Run & Gain calibration using LED • Alpha Run @ LED OFF • Alpha Run @ LED ON (LED : high rate background) • -Change LED Pulse height, rate and PMT gain Yasuko HISAMATSU MEG VRVS Meeting @PSI June 2004

  14. ZA1984 Rate Dependence @Liq.Xe Time dependence?  = 4.45 *104sec ZA1984 • Gain 1*106 Background: 2.16µA 1.26*107p.e./sec 6.91µA 4.05*107p.e./sec Stable output up to 2.16µA is confirmed. Slight deterioration(?) of output was observed under very severe background. Yasuko HISAMATSU MEG VRVS Meeting @PSI June 2004

  15. ZA1984 Rate Dependence @Liq.Xe alpha peak (@LED ON) / alpha peak (@LED OFF) This instability is caused not by photocathode but by the bleeder circuit; Shortage of bleeder current Improved design of the bleeder Circuit; adding Zener Diode Current of Crowding LED [ µA] Yasuko HISAMATSU MEG VRVS Meeting @PSI June 2004

  32. Patch Panel Patch Panel • Feedthrough • High density due to limited space on the chimneys. A bundle of cables will be connected to one feedthrough connector. • Cabling (grouping of PMTs) are limited due to the slab structure. • Grouping of PMTs can be arranged between the patch panel and feedthrough connector. feedthrough Cold Vessel Warm Vessel
