D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Topics Modifications to the TPC since the Vienna meeting Preparations for ion feedback measurements Double layer field cage termination transparency Ion feedback demonstration with wire gas-amplification Measurements of electron and ion transmission Comments on continued preparations for ion feedback measurements

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, TPC 14.6 cm ID field cage - accommodates a 10 cm GEM 64 cm drift field length 22.2 cm OD outer structure (8.75 inch) “field cage termination” and “final” return lines for the field cage HV distribution allow adjustment of the termination bias voltage with an external resistor. Read-out end: field cage termination readout pad and amplification module pad biasing boards CLEO II cathode preamps

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, TPC Improvements: FADC channels increase from 32 to 56 channels Pad board with 2 mm pads. 4 layers of 2mm pads 5 layer of 5mm pads for track definition 80 pads on the board For the ion measurements, precision resolution measurements are not necessary; do not use the adjacent 2mm layers. Use 6 layers, 5 mm width 2 mm width.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Ion Feedback Detection Positive ions are created in the amplification and drift back into the field cage. Ions on the field cage termination plane, for individual tracks. A double-layer field cage termination allows biasing the read-out side to collect ions. (slide) The read-out side is segmented with 8 readout channels (5mm each) The method differs from that used by Saclay/Orsay on MicroMegas and by Aachen on GEM. For those measurements, a source was used to create ionization. Current was measured on the cathode.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Tests were performed with the Purdue-3M Micromegas installed. Installed double layer field cage termination. Varied the voltage difference between the layers. Measure pulse height at the anode pads. ~40% transmission at -450 V ( 150V more negative ) ~60% of the ion feedback should be captured by the field cage termination wires +300 V/cm 0 V/cm -300 V/cm Single Grid (maximum transmission) Field cage termination electron transmission Bias potential on the field cage termination layer on the readout side (- volts), with the layer on the drift side at -401 V.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Ion feedback, initial tests with wire amplification Wire amplification is used for initial tests; it has a predictable, and large, ion feedback fraction. Partial transmission mode of the field cage termination is used because a bias pulsing circuit, and gated electronic amplifiers that can tolerate the pulsing, are not ready. The ion feedback signal will be measured on the instrumented field cage termination layer. Naively, the ion drift time is T=(.5cm) / [1.535cm 2 /(V sec) x 3406 V/cm ] = 124  s, but this does not account for the potential difference in the radial field regions, which is necessary to see the signal.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Ion feedback, 40% transmission Upper traces are the cathode pad rows. (25 MHz, 82  sec full width) Bottom traces are the instrumented field cage termination cathode wires. (3.125 MHz, 650  sec) The fast, in-time, wire signal is on all wires; it is inductive. There is a second pulse, 203  sec later, with average relative pulse height of 5.5%. The delayed pulse is in one channel, typically the peak channel of the inductive pulse.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Ion Feedback, “full” transmission With +300V/cm between the layers of the field cage termination, expect more transmission. (Measured full transmission for electrons.) The pulse delay is 208  sec (vs 203). The relative pulse height is 2.7% (reduced from 5.5%). The channel with the delayed pulse is again consistent with the track seen on the pads.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Ion Feedback, “>full” transmission With +600V/cm between the layers of the field cage termination, expect to further increase transmission, and reduce collection. The pulse delay is 210  sec (vs 203). The relative pulse height is 1.3% (reduced from 5.5%, 2.7%).

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Ion Feedback, variation with ion drift distance Determine if the delay time increases with ion drift distance; any electronic source for this signal will have a constant time. Again, with ~40% transmission, -166V/cm, in the field cage termination, but the field cage termination-to-anode spacing is increased to 7mm (from 5 mm), ( x 1.4 ). Pulse delay increases to 246  sec,  =6  sec, (from 203  sec), ( x 1.2 ).

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Conclude that the signal is ion feedback We observe an ion signal on the segmented field cage termination plane Electrons pass through the field cage termination. Ions are produced during the gas amplification. Ions drift back to the field cage termination. Some of the ions are collected. The signal amplitude varies with the transparency of the field cage termination to the initial drift of electrons. The signal delay is consistent with the calculated ion drift. The signal delay increases with the ion drift distance. The ion signal correlates with the pad signal in horizontal position.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, GEM transmission measurements We will use this tool to measure the ion transparency, along with the electron transparency, of a GEM. The GEM is placed in front of a MWPC gas-amplification. MWPC gas-amplification is used to measure the relative electron transmission through the GEM and as a source of positive ions.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, GEM transmission measurements The GEM is positioned between the field cage termination and the readout. Most of the electrons pass through the field cage termination and the GEM. The average pulse height of pads on the track gives the relative electron yield. Positive ions crated in the avalanche pass through the GEM. A fraction is collected on the field cage termination. The pulse height on the field cage termination gives the relative (ion transmission x electron transmission). Using ArCO 2 90:10 gas. ( well, actually 87:13 based on velocity )

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Event with V GEM =163 V Shown is an event with V GEM =163V. The track is observed on the pads starting at time bin 320. T 0 is bin 84, 25MHz, 40ns/bin drift is 9.4  s, 21cm. The ion signal is observed on the field cage termination wires centered at time bin 780. T 0 is bin 84, 3.125MHz, 320ns/bin ion drift time is (223 – 9.4)  s. The measured positions of the electrons and ions are correlated. However, the ion signal in narrow because it is due to charge collection. Note: the electron signal scale is 10mv, the ion signal scale is 0.5mv.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Event with V GEM =21 V Shown is an event with V GEM =21V. pad signals at 25  s The ion signal is observed on the field cage termination wires centered at time bin 850. T 0 is bin 84, 3.125MHz, 320ns/bin ion drift time is (245 – 25)  s. Note: the electron signal scale is 2mv, the ion signal scale is 0.1mv.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Normalization of the relative measurements Measurements of pulse heights on the pad readout provide the relative electron yield at the anode. To extract the transmission, we require the pad pulse heights without the GEM mounted in the chamber for the normalization. pad PH ( with GEM ) = Trans.(e - ) x pad PH (no GEM) Measurements of pulse height on the field cage termination provide the relative ( ion transmission x electron transmission ). term PH ( with GEM ) = Trans.(ion) x Trans.(e-) x term PH (no GEM) or, Trans.(ion) = term PH ( with GEM ) / term PH (no GEM). pad PH ( with GEM ) / pad PH (no GEM) Require normalization data with no GEM, with the electric field at the anode wires held constant.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Biasing for the normalization Measurements of GEM transmission The field between the GEM and the anode is not the naïve value of 3309 V/cm. Much of the potential difference is in the radial field region near the anode wire. Estimate that the radial region extends 1/3 of the wire spacing (as shown). Then solve for a constant field region and a radial field region matched at the interface. (Yes, it would be better to do a FEA.) Result: 996 V potential difference in the radial region (1.67 mm) (while 1.67/6.27 x 2075V = 553V) 2345 V/cm in the “constant” field region (4.60 mm).

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Biasing for the normalization Normalization with no GEM Estimate that the field, in the “constant” field region between the GEM and the anode, is 2345 V/cm. The anode must be biased to maintain this field with the GEM removed. The same field must be established between the field cage termination and the imaginary surface. Thus, the potential difference from the field cage termination to the imaginary surface is 2345 V/cm x.267cm = 626V. The potential difference from the imaginary surface to the anode is still The anode is biased at = Uncertainty in the calculation of the bias potential leads to a systematic error in the electron transmission measurements. Error bars will reflect a change of 50 V at the anode, corresponding to a change of 85V in the potential difference in the radial region.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Normalization event An event with the GEM removed The ion signal is observed on the field cage termination wires centered at time bin 900. The inductive signal is observed at time bin 100. With the GEM removed, the field cage termination is part of the MWPC field cage. The inductive signal is wide, observed on all channels. The ion collection signal is isolated to one channel of width 5mm. Note: the electron signal scale is 40mv, the ion signal scale is 20mv.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Electron transmission measurements have a systematic uncertainty as described earlier. Ion transmission measurements are not affected by the uncertainty in the bias voltage calculation because changes in the bias voltage result in only small changes in the ratio of the termination signals to the pad signals. The measurement of ion transmission for V GEM = 0 is made with a small sample of tracks with drift distance < 11mm ( between the GEM and the pads). The result

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Comparison Gas dependence GEM geometry dependence ArCO 2 90:10 Standard GEM E D = 150V/cm E T = 2500V/cm F. Sauli showed electron transmission dependence at the Berkeley workshop, April Present results show a much lower electron transmission at ~similar electric fields. From F. Sauli, Berkeley workshop, April 2006

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Summary / Outlook Demonstrated a method for measuring ion feedback in the Cornell/Purdue TPC. Measured electron and ion transmission through a GEM as a function of voltage. Results for electrons are lower than observed by Sauli’s group. Systematic uncertainties could be improved with a proper field calculation. Good signal sensitivity with electron transmission.07 ion transmission.04 ion collection.20 ion feedback.50 gain ~ 10 4 (product = 3) We are preparing for measurements of ion feedback fraction using pulsed biasing on the field cage termination. (slide) with full transmission and collection, should have sensitivity for (ion feedback x gain) > 3 A “bulk Micromegas” has been prepared on one of our pad boards by Paul Colas. Operation will be compared to the Purdue-3M Micromegas. (slide)

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Ion Feedback measurement, with pulsed field cage termination The pulsed biasing will switch from full transmission to full collection. Require small ion drift time to reduce diffusion. (Expect ~7  s diffusion at 540 ms drift.) Require large ion drift time because the amplifiers saturate during the voltage ramp. New amplifiers will be switch during the ramp.

D. Peterson, “Measurements of GEM electron and ion transmission…”, Valencia LC Workshop, Micromegas amplification We have received a “bulk Micromaegas”, prepared on one of our pad boards by Paul Colas. Measurements with the Purdue-3M Micromegas were shown at Vancuover. We will start measurements with the bulk Micromegas in December. Purdue-3M bulk 10 cm
