Status • 0.8mm thick, 10mm width, and flat acrylic plate is considered to be the best. • Fiber distribution has been done. • Now trying the system with two layers (twin, as follows) With only 1 layer Acrylic plate (27.0cm long) LED Acrylic plate(15cmlength) Acrylic plate(15cmlength) Acrylic plate(15cmlength) Acryl Frame Acrylic plate(15cmlength) Acryl Frame LED Acryl Frame LED Acryl Frame Scintillator strip (1 x 4.5 x 0.3 cm) LED WLSF Scintillator strip (1 x 4.5 x 0.3 cm) WLSF Scintillator strip (1 x 4.5 x 0.3 cm) WLSF Scintillator strip (1 x 4.5 x 0.3 cm) WLSF
Fiber Distribution LED direction toward each fiber varies. Clear fiber There are 20 fibers per a bundle. Amount of LED light greatly depends on the direction. Vbias:77.0V LED width:20ns Compared Np.e. of the ‘closest’ fiber to the light axis with one of the ‘farthest’. ●:nearest ●:farthest ●:closest ●:farthest 12.12% 6.318% ADC distribution of the ‘closest’ ADC distribution of the ‘farthest’
Double Distance (No fiber) 2 layers adjoin 2.853% Black: Noise (w/o LED) Red: w/ LED Np.e. can be calibrated.
Double Distance (with fiber) Closest Farthest ●:Farthest ●:Closest ●:w/o fiber 40.68% 24.04% 35.25%
Tracing Paper • In order to reduce the dispersion due to the LED direction, pinched the tracing paper between LED and fiber. 2 Tracing paper (40g/m ) ●:farthest, w/o tracing paper 35.25% ■:farthest, w/ tracing paper 57.66% ▲:closest, w/o tracing paper 38.50% ▼:farthest, w/ tracing paper 41.43%
Summary & Plans • Np.e. depends on which fiber we use. • Np.e. of the scintilator far from the LED is very small. (About half of the signal is dark noise. ) • There isn’t a significant difference between direct and fiber in the latter 9cm. • Tracing paper isn’t effective. Need something thicker. • Determine the number of CMB by this weekend.
