  1. Barrel Calorimeter Status Quo Zisis Papandreou University of Regina GlueX Collaboration Meeting JLab, December 11-13, 2003 SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  2. Outline • BCAL Module Prototyping • 2-m Module-0 Construction & Tests • 4-m Module-1 Preparations • BCAL Readout R&D • HPD Review • SiPM Test Results SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  3. 2-m Module-0 • Great crew of undergraduates • Construction Completed • 200cm (l) x 13cm (w) x 17cm (t) • 180kg • Polishing Completed • Preliminary Tests with Cosmics SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  4. Module-0 “The Matrix” • Construction method • Tricks, Do’s and don’t’s • Method is under control • Minor R&D required for 4-m Module-1 SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  5. 2-m Gluing & Pressing Process All that glue for GlueX. SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  6. Trickery rewards Vaseline to the rescue SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  7. … oops 1m Mod … but on closer look: 2m Mod The “Ruler” Test SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  8. When you least expect it… …Big Brother is watching! SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  9. Matrix Reloaded • 2-m testing with cosmics and beam (Serpukov/Hall B?) • 1-m prototype with Scintillator sheets (IU). • 4-m prototype construction at CSR/UofA • MOU with UofA signed. • Softer Pb received (Vulcan), Epoxy (Bicron) • 100-km fibers arrived; snag in shipment • 4.5-m press, Cutting, Spooling Design • Preparations at UofA are underway for 4m work • Timetable: completion August 2004? SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  10. Pure Leadnow… Now that’s a toilet paper roll! SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  11. Yes we have no bananas. BananaProblemis solved… SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  12. Lead Cutter • - 2m prototype • 4m next • multiple track SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  13. Spooling R&D Hair salon? Combs nonetheless! SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  14. Cosmic Tests (Vitaly Kovaltchouk) SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  15. ADC Spectra PRELIMINARY SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  16. polished unpolished TDC Spectra 550 ps 670 ps PRELIMINARY SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  17. And what about the readout? • 2 Tesla field; field gradient • Compact design; cost considerations • Technology: • Hybrid Photo Diode – Review • Silicon Photo Multiplier – New Tests • Multi Channel Plates? • Avalanche Photo Diodes? SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  18. HPD Measurements (Vitaly Kovaltchouk, Keith Wolbaum, Garth Huber) • HPD gain is 1600; preamp, amp-shaper needed • Noise: Setup is sensitive but under control • Light sources: • Xe-N flasher: its RF interfers; requires shielding • NaI crystal and 241Am, 137Cs and 60Co sources • LED (pulsed): neutral density filter, fiber lightguide • Measurements: HPD PP0350G with Multi-Channel Analyzer (Tektronix 5200) • Bottom line: system works, rise time poor, energy resolution modest, components are expensive SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  19. Compact but expensive 2001 SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  20. Pre-amp and board SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  21. Rise Time vs. External Capacitor Light Source: Nanosecond Broad-Spectrum Optical Pulse Radiator (Model NR-1A) and Laser Pulse Simulator (Model LPS-1A), HV 20 kV. HPMT: A 25 mm proximity focused single pixel Hybrid Photo Diode equipped, with an S20UV photo-cathode on a quartz input window, HV 8 kV, Bias 75 V. Silicon diode capacitance 200 pF. SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  22. MCA Spectrum (LED) LED off LED on SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  23. 241Am Spectrum 13% energy resolution Vitaly Kovaltchouk SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  24. SiPM: a new Sheriff in town • Multi pixel silicon photo diode • Micro pixels (20-30m) on common load • 500 pixels in 1mm2 area • Operates in Geiger mode; 106 gain • Provided by Moscow Engineering and Physics Institute SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  25. HPD vs. PMT SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  26. 1900 V 55 V 4ns risetime 1ns risetime; 300 mV SiPM vs. PMT Optitron Xe-N Plasma Discharge Tube SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  27. Timing resolution SiPM PMT 140 ps 375 ps SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  28. Energy resolution Xe-N + Lecroy 612A 90Sr on Scintillating Fiber 1 pe Low light Scint Light 2 pe signal 3 pe noise SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  29. SiPM in a nutshell • Very promising readout for BCAL • Better timing and energy resolution than standard 2” PMTs • $50 prototypes, $1 for bulk orders? • Tests to come: • Couple to Module-0 and measure • Test in high magnetic field (MRI?) • Radiation hardness • Geometrical packing (Winston cones, wavelength shifters  funnel light down) SPARRO Group, University of Regina

  30. So, where are we? • Matrix construction is well in hand • 2-m test cosmic results available soon • 4-m will have modest R&D obstacles • Construction site (UofR, UofA…) • Readout type may have been found • SiPM very suitable (MCP, APD?) • Frame and integration issues outstanding SPARRO Group, University of Regina
