CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 2 Introduction  MICE is Accelerator Physics more than HEP  MICE is part of the R&D program towards the neutrino factory  Aim at Demonstrating Ionization Cooling of a muon beam  Validate new simulation tools for future design  MICE should deliver results before 2011

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 3 MICE Design Focus coils and LH2 Absorbers Coupling coils and 200 MHz RF Cavities Solenoids, Matching coils and Scintillating fiber Tracker

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 5 MICE RAL, UK Pion production and capture in ISIS vault MICE hall at RAL Pion decay solenoid (PSI) First beam Protons/Pions

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 6 MICE Electron-Muon Calorimeter  Aim at separating muons from decay electrons  Necessary to reduce systematic errors on emittance measurement Muons and electrons have ≠ Single Particle Emittance

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 7 Electron Muon Separation Muons and electrons have Overlapping P z in the Tracker (where it is measured) Time of flight is not sufficient to separate them “Nobody said it was going to be easy, and nobody was right.“ President George Bush, quoted by Rikard Sandstroem “Nobody said it was going to be easy, and nobody was right.“ President George Bush, quoted by Rikard Sandstroem

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 8 EMCal Conceptual Design  Design proposed by Geneva Reduce the need for charge measurement (ADC are expensive, aren’t they…) Backboned by detailed simulation  Made of two parts: High Z active pre-shower layer: Forces electrons to shower Thick stack of plastic scintillator: Stop the muons Measure range and track topology e+e+e+e+ µ+µ+µ+µ+

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 9 Pre-shower: KLOE Like

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 10 KL Construction  Produced by INFN Roma III  “In the mail” to RAL  Coupled to individual PMTs  Readout by 100 MHz waveform digitizer (after shaper) This gives both charge and time (< 1 ns) information KL + shielding KL Naked Signal Shape well understood

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 11 Scintillator Wall (SW)  ~1 m 3 bloc of scintillator  Longitudinal segmentation needed to measure the range Increasing thickness optimize the relative precision on the range w.r.t the number of readout channels  Transverse segmentation needed to reduce the occupancy per channel  Main issue: Muons stopping in the EMCal produce background when they decay At equilibrium: ~1 muon in the detector at all time

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 12 SW R&D  Use extruded scintillators + WLS fibers A la Miner a First prototype built in INFN Trieste using rectangular shape scintillator received from Fermilab 19 mm 15 mm

Full scale single Layer Prototype 1/5 scale 2x4 Layers Prototype  Simple mechanical assembly Easily stackable  Assembled, equipped and tested in Trieste  Has been tested in beam at CERN last week

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 14 SW Light Sensor choice  Multi-Anode PMTs Like in Miner a itself 64 or 256 channels per PMT Last dynode can be used to measure the total energy deposit per plane.  SiPM (or Hamamatsu MPPC) Like in T2K (P0D for example) Give some d.o.f. for the mechanical assembly Two Options

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 15 SW Front-End Electronics  TDC with ~1.5 ns resolution is cheap Discriminator from existing ASIC (e.g. VA64TAP2.1) A simple FPGA can give the time w.r.t trigger ~ 20 CHF/channel can be achieved  ADC is more expensive In particular if dead time has to be small Commercial waveform 1 GHz: ~2000 CHF/ch Note that cost decreases rapidly for lower sampling rates  2 Options (among others) Keep the full segmentation allowed by the design (~1500 ch) but with only 1 fADC per plane Reduce the segmentation by grouping fibers and equip each channel with shaper + fADC at 100 MHz (like for KL)

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 25 Further developments  Considering triangular shape for better occupancy  Minerva die set gives a triangle with a base of 33mm and ht. of 17 mm nominal  Allow grouping channels with marginal loss in resolution => savings in FEE Miner a test bench

Each layer 59 triangular bars: 30 triangular bars x 33 mm =990 mm + 29 matching triangular bars Each layer Active Scintillator region : 990 mm x 990 mm x 17 mm Thickness with fiberglass cover~18 mm Total=18 mm x 40 layers = 720 mm Half triangular edge mechanical elements

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 27 Conclusion  MICE will demonstrate Ionization Cooling for muons by 2010/2011  It requires electron/muon separation for p between 140 and 240 MeV/c at level, with 99.8% efficiency  A PID detector system has been designed in Geneva and is constructed by FNAL/Geneva/INFN collaboration  It includes a fully active extruded scintillator detector (~1m 3 ) with WLS fiber and (Si)PM readout  We are developing cheap and efficient construction techniques and Front End Electronics  Economical FEE able to do charge measurement at MICE rate (1MHz) is something to be…

How efficiency is defined: 6) 6)To overcome this problem an “or” condition has been added so that the efficiency is computed not only for the expected rod but taking into account also the previous and the next one. In other words, if the particle is expected to pass through rod number 3, the pulse heights of rod number 2, 3 and 4 are considered, if anyone of them is over-threshold, the particle in this event is considered as “detected” (that is a 1 is put into the profile histograms described before). The dead zone width is reduced. Anyway a (smaller) region seems to have poorer efficiency... maybe rods profile is not rectangular!

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien Graulich Curved edges Dead zone up to ~ mm 1m long rods of the same type of the EMR ones

CHIPP June 2008Jean-Sébastien Graulich ENERGY SCAN At 15 GeV dead region seems to reduce at less than 0.5 mm (as expected from rods shape)‏
