  1. Study of the MPPC for the GLD Calorimeter Readout Satoru Uozumi (Shinshu University) for the GLD Calorimeter Group (KNU, Kobe, Niigata, Shinshu, ICEPP Tokyo, Tsukuba) • Introduction • Performance of 1600-pixel MPPC • GLD calorimeter prototype • Summary & Plans

  2. International Linear Collider • Center-of-mass energy at 500 ~ 1000 GeV. • Four detector concepts are currently proposed. • Various precision measurements with clean e+e- collision. • e+e- -> Higgs, SUSY, W, Z, tt … -> Multi-jet final states • Precise jet energy measurement is crucial ! GLD LDC SiD 4th

  3. Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA)- A powerful method for precise jet energy measurement - Key : Momentum resolution > Energy resolution (central tracker) (calorimeter) • Charged particles (~60% in a jet) are measured by central tracker. • Photons (mainly from p0 decays, ~30%) are measured by electromagnetic calorimeter. • Neutral hadrons (mainly KL0, ~10%) are measured by hadron calorimeter. ETOT = pe+ p+ pcharged hadron+ E+ Eneutral hadron [ tracks only] [calorimeter only] For the PFA, separation of jet particles in the calorimeter is indispensable.

  4. The GLD Calorimeter • Sampling calorimeter with W/Pb - scintillator sandwich structure with WLSF readout • Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA) requires fine granularity for the calorimeter • Employ well-established plastic scintillator. • Scintillator stirp structure to achieve fine granularity. • Huge number of readout channels. • ~10M (ECAL) + 4M (HCAL) • Used inside 3 Tesla solenoid,. The MPPC is feasible for the GLD calorimeter readout !

  5. What are required for the photon sensor? • Gain, Photon Detection Efficiency (P.D.E.) comparable to PMTs. • Gain at least 105. • P.D.E. ~ 20% (capable to distinguish MIP signal). • Dynamic range enough to measure ~100 GeV photons. • corresponds to ~5000 photoelectrons. • MPPC is non-linear device. -> necessary to know right response curve for correction. • Stability & Robustness. Tolerance to temperature variation, long-term use, magnetic field, neutron radiation. • Uniform performance among many pieces. • Acceptable dark noise rate, inter-pixel cross-talk probability. • Noise rate < 1 MHz, Cross-talk probability ~ a few per cent. • Low cost, compactness. • Price order of $1~5, package fitting to 2 mm thick scintillator strip.

  6. Small package 1600 pixel MPPC 4 mm 1.3 mm • 1600 pixel MPPC with compact plastic package • (S10362-11-025MK) • Sensor size = 1 x 1 mm2. • suitable for attaching to scintillator strips. 3 mm Front Side Scintillator strip (1 x 4 x 0.3 cm) 1 x 1 mm WLS fiber MPPC Side view

  7. Gain, Dark Noise Rate, Cross-talk • 30 oC • 25 oC • 20 oC • 15 oC • 10 oC • 0 oC • -20 oC Noise > 0.5 p.e. • 30oC • 25oC • 20oC • 15oC • 10oC • 0oC • -20oC DV0/DT = (56.0±0.1)mV/oC • 30 oC • 25 oC • 20 oC • 15 oC • 10 oC • 0 oC • -20 oC DV (over-voltage) • C … Pixel capacity • V0 … Breakdown voltage • These basic properties are almost OK. • Still need to improve temperature • dependence of breakdown voltage

  8. Variation of the Gain over 700 MPPCs Variation = 0.45 V Variation < 3.3 % • Device-by-device variation is less than a few %. • g No need for further selection or categorization on massive use ! • Just need small tuning of operation voltages.

  9. Variation of the Dark Noise (400 pieces) Noise > 0.5 p.e. Noise Rate (kHz) DV = Vbias – V0 (V) • Noise rate is far less than 1 MHz with all the samples. • Device-by-device variation is order of ~10 %.

  10. Photon Detection Efficiency (P.D.E.) • P.D.E. = Q.E. x egeometry x eGeiger • Measured by injecting same light pulse into both MPPC and PMT, • and comparing light yield. LED WLSF MPPC 0.5 mm f holes ~ 16 % PMT MPPC PMT The 1600-pixel MPPC has comparable P.D.E. with conventional photomultipliers (15~20%).

  11. Dynamic range • The MPPC is a non-linear device, because one pixel can detect one photon at once. • For a short light pulse input, response to input light can be theoretically • calculated as • However for the 1600-pixel MPPC, it is not the case ! • Since recovery time is order of a few ns, one pixel can detect a photon • several times. ? Recovery time << light input width Recovery time >> light input width

  12. Recovery Time Measurement • Inject blight laser pulse • (width=52 ps) into the MPPC • After delay of Dt, inject blight LED • light pulse, and measure MPPC • outpu for the LED pulse. • Compare the MPPC output for the • LED pulse with and without the • first laser pulse. MPPC delay LED Oscilloscope view Black … MPPC output for Laser pulse Green … MPPC output for LED pulse Red … Laser + LED Blue … (Laser+LED)-Laser Dt Ratio of Blue / Green shows recovery fraction. t (msec)

  13. Recovery fraction (%) Delay Recovery Time Result The curve is fitted by a function at 25 oC tD : dead time t : recovery time • Vbias = • 71.0 V • 71.5 V • 72.0 V • Recovery time of the 1600-pixel MPPC ~ 4 ns. • The shape does not depend on bias voltage.

  14. w Response Curve Response curves taken with various width of LED light pulses. (gate width = 100 ns) LED PMT w = 50 ns 24 ns w = 50 ns 16 ns 8 ns 24 ns 1600 8 ns 16 ns • Dynamic range is enhanced with longer light pulse, • Time structure of the light pulse gives large effects in non-linear region. • No significant influence with changing bias voltage. • Knowing time structure of scintillator light signal is crucial • -> study is ongoing.

  17. Results with tungsten absorber The calorimeter with the MPPC is working! Dynamic range seems to be enhanced (expect more study with higher beam energy in 2008). 1 23456 GeV 6 GeV e+ center injection No MPPC saturation correction Deviation from Linearity < 4 %

  18. Summary • We are developing the 1600-pixel MPPC for the GLD calorimeter collaborating with Hamamatsu Photonics. • Basic properties are almost sufficient for the requirement. • Comparable gain / P.D.E. with photomultipliers. • Acceptable noise rate (~100kHz) and cross-talk probability (~10 %) • Variation of the gain among 800 pieces is small enough (<4%). • Dynamic range is enhanced thanks to the short recovery time! • However need more study for time structure of light signal from scintillator. • Result of the beam test demonstrates that the MPPC is feasible for the GLD calorimeter readout. • Further improvements of the MPPC performance is still underway with Hamamatsu (package, temp. dependence, dynamic range, etc…).
