20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste2 The LUCID detector LUCID : “LUminosity measurement using Cerenkov Integrating Detector Goals: - provide a relative luminosity measurement (integrated and bunch by bunch); - provide η-coverage for diffractive physics Winston Cones Fibres Two detectors x 168 Al tubes filled with Isobutane at 1 or 2 Bar pressure Winston cones at the end of the tubes bring the Cerenkov light onto quartz fibers.

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste3 Activities of the Group since Feb.06 Main activities of the LUCID Group after the Test Beam 05 which provided a light yield of ~5 p.e. :  development and optimization of the Monte Carlo code to reproduce the detector performances.  Test on CERN and test DESY to check the detector performances and tune the MC.  Production of new improved detector parts (tubes, Winston cones, fibers).  Development of the electronics project  Discussion of the detector design and of the installation strategies

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste4 Test on CERN Goal of the measurements: Understand the detector performances and check the improvements on new parts. Tested material: Tubes: –Mechanically polished –Electro-polished and mech. polished –Mylar liner –Old tubes (used in 2005 TB) Winston Cones: –Ø 4 mm and Ø 3 mm (new design) –Old cones Ø 3 mm (used in 2005 TB) Fibers bundles: –PUV 500, 700, FSU 600 –Old fibers HUV1000 (used in 2005 TB)

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste5 Test on bench: quantities studied

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste6 Test Bench results: new tubes Old tube New tube Mylar tube Aluminum tubes mechanically polished show a 10% improvement w.r.t old tubes. Close to the Mylar solution. New tube Old tube

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste7 Test DESY Test beam performed on the 6 GeV electron DESY in August 2006 Tested different detector configurations:  Old tube, old WC cone, old fiber bundle  New tubes, new WC cones, new fiber bundles  New tube, new WC cone coupled directly to a single PM a la CDF (backup solution for LUCID)  Exchanged the detector configurations in order to determine the improvements on the different parts. First results from the data analysis.

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste8 TB results: fiber detector Fit each single-channel spectrum: add the results or use calibrations and pedestals (from fits) to rescale each event and obtain the total distribution for each tube

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste9 TB results: fiber detector II Middle fibers Lateral fibers lateral fibers Central fibers Maximum light yield: ~10-12 p.e. ~ factor 2 improvement w.r.t Little bit less than expected from test on bench. Some more improvements needed (2 track resolution etc.) ~11.5 p.e. ~9.5 p.e.

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste10 TB results: single PM ADC spectra, with two peaks: A) Cerenkov light only from gas B) Cerenkov light from gas and PM quartz window A B R2496

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste11 Maximum light yield: ~60-85 p.e. in gas ~40 p.e. in quarzt w. ~ p.e. in tot. Close to the CLC (CDF) performances, with a non optimized system. Solution appealing for the number of p.e., but need to verify:  Radiation hardness of complete PMT system.  Background Cerenkov light in the PMT window from primary & secondary particles.  PM activation, lifetime and Mechanical design. TB results: single PM - II

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste12 Conclusions on the TB results Work to be done in the next few months:  optimization of the baseline solution to further improve performances. (produce new detector parts, test on bench etc.).  Careful verification of the feasibility of the backup option (background, rad. hard. tests etc.).  Radiation tests for the baseline (fiber, epoxy etc.) and for the backup solution (PMT, cables etc.) are needed now  Work is starting now!  Optimization of the Monte Carlo  Test Beam of the final detector before the installation (December 2006).

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste13 The proposed plan for a full LUCID deployment includes the installation of a subset of LUCID detector in The LUCID group is aiming for a full installation of the LUCID in the first long shutdown after end This reduced detector deployment in 2007, will be sufficient to allow the preliminary study of the following: –Backgrounds from secondary in the LUCID detector; –Beam related backgrounds; –Timing; –The front-end and backend readout electronics; –The installation and alignment of the LUCID detector; –The gas supply system; –The effect of heat from the bake-out jacket on the LUCID detector –First luminosity measurements. LUCID detector deployment-I

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste14 The reduced detector deployment will include the complete LUCID pressure vessel, alignment system and gas system. We plan to readout only ~10 tubes/end. Most of the channels will be readout via fused-silica fibres to remote MaPMTs. The FE readout will be placed in the vicinity of the MaPMTs - the resulting signals will be driven to the BE readout in USA15. We expect to use an initial version of the final LUCID electronics. LUCID detector deployment-II Single PMT Baseline fibre-optic readout A few channels will be equipped with a single PMT placed on Winston Cone ends. These PMTs will be readout, via an amplification stage, in USA15, for timing and light collection studies. The full LUCID detector will be installed during the first long shut-down.

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste16 The LUCID FED cards The front end system is now modular so allowing scalability The MAROC Board and part of the ANALOG board has been developed by LUND (thanks!) TX Digital Board GOL, FPGA, TX Connectors Board (HV,LV,RX, TX, analog) MAROC Boards Base board (connectors,signals routing, MAROC prog.FPGA ) ANALOG board (ampl.+line driv.) RX Digital Board TTCRQ, ELMB128A,volt. reg.

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste17 The FED (digital part) The TX digital board designed is in production The other two cards (RX, Connectors) have been mostly defined (6 more weeks work) In order to define the Base Board we need to fix the MAROC I/O (B.L.) All the components (electronics, connectors –except HV) have been defined A prototype of the front end card (MAROC) should be ready toward the middle/end of November

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste18 Electronics/ The analog test board The analog test board has been designed with the aim to provide the possibility to test the analog part of the MAROC chip based front end cards It will allow to test also single anode PMT based readout scheme It is meant to be an important tool that should allow us to understand the detector even in case of delay in the production of a prototype for the MAROC chip based front end cards by using commercially available VME modules for the DAQ All its parts already in production/ prototype should be ready beginning of October

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste19 Electronics/ The Analog Test Board

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste20 Conclusions -I  New detector parts (tubes, cones, fibres) have been produced and tested on bench and at the DESY test beam in August  The TB results indicate factor of ~2 improvements over last test beam. Some more improvements are expected in the next detector version  A test beam on the final detector will be performed in December  Radiation hardness studies on single PMT and fiber bundles are starting now.  New installation scheme for LUCID has been studied. Partial detector deployment foreseen in 2007

20th September 2006Riunione CSN1 - Trieste21 Conclusions-II MAROC2 chip including modifications for LUCID delivered on July. First tests look promising. The design of the front-end electronics is started and it is on track (although we still need a confirmation of the performances of the detector) The most important part of the FED is already under production The Analog Test Board (Backup solution for tests but also for the 2007 installation) is in advanced status of production (prototype expected for beginning of next October) The project is now modular. Moreover, it can be easily adapted in case we will decide for the LUCID readout backup solution The development of the readout and trigger electronics could be a bit relaxed since we can use already available pieces of DAQ to give a luminosity measurement as soon as the front end electronics will be available
