ATLAS Forward Proton Upgrade AFP concept: adds new ATLAS sub-detectors at 220 and 420 m upstream and downstream of central detector to precisely measure the scattered protons to complement ATLAS discovery program. These detectors are designed to run at a luminosity of cm -2 s -1 and operate with standard optics (need high luminosity for discovery physics) AFP Components 1)Rad-hard edgeless 3D silicon detectors with resolution ~10  m, 1  rad 2)Timing detectors to reject overlap background (SD+JJ+SD) 3) New Connection Cryostat at 420m 4) “Hamburg Beam Pipe” instead of Roman Pots beam p’ AFP Detector LHC magnets 420 m 220 m H Andrew Brandt, University of Texas, Arlington 2

What does AFP Provide? 5 Allows ATLAS to use LHC as a tunable  s glu-glu or  collider while simultaneously pursuing standard ATLAS physics program Acceptance >40% for wide range of resonance mass Combination of 220 and 420 is key to physics reach! Mass and rapidity of central system, assuming central exclusive production (CEP) process, where momentum lost by protons goes into central system Mass resolution of 3-5 GeV per event

“+”“+” “=”“=” How does CEP work? Extra “screening ” gluon conserves color, keeps proton intact (and reduces your  ) CEP defined as pp  p+X+p, where protons are scattered at small angles, but remain intact, with all of their lost energy going towards production of the system X Central system produced in J z =0 ++ (C-even, P-even) state, this results in di-quark production being suppressed Process observed by CDF: exclusive dijets PR D77, (2008) and exclusive χ c PRL 102, (2009) pp  gg  H +xpp  p+H+p Typical Higgs Production CEP Higgs 6 Find a CEP resonance (for ex. Higgs) and you have measured its quantum numbers (0 ++ ) !!

7 For the MSSM and related models, AFP is likely to provide the only way to determine the Higgs quantum #’s and the coupling to b- quarks, and will provide an excellent mass measurement MSSM and CEP Models with extended Higgs sectors, such as the MSSM, typically produce a light Higgs (h) with SM-like properties and a heavy Higgs (H) which decouples from Gauge boson. This implies: no HVV coupling (V=W, Z) no weak boson fusion no H  ZZ big enhancement in pseudoscalar A does not couple to CEP R=  (MSSMH)/  (SMH) m A (GeV) R=300 H→bb, mhmax, μ = 200 GeV

AFP manpower primarily dedicated to detector R&D and technical studies, however… We (Brandt, Pal, et al.) performed studied over last few years to validate the theory predictions, using 120 GeV for and 160 GeV for We validated the exclusivity cuts needed to reduce the overlap background, including tracking rejection with full detector simulation In the bb channel Standard Model Higgs without forward protons is believed to be impossible. With FP’s it is really, really hard. We obtain a signal to background including a believable trigger (using Phase I calo upgrade and 220 m proton tag) of near 1 up to 2x10 33, but with only about 1 signal event/ 30 fb -1 after cuts to control the overlap background. With the x8 MSSM enhancement factor, we get comparable significance as JHEP 0710:090,2 007 We produced a luminosity model that showed that we can obtain comparable significance/fb -1 for a store starting at 1x10 34 as we could with continuous 5x10 33 So 120 GeV, requires a 5-10 “MSSM factor” for 4  observation in 100 fb -1 For we showed that the backgrounds are easily controlled at 160 GeV, and this looks like a promising channel (4  observation in 100 fb -1 ) down to ~130 GeV or so [Note smaller bkgd, easier trigger  >10 34 operation] AFP Studies 8

How? How Fast?

Timing System Requirements 10 ps or better resolution Acceptance over full range of proton x+y Near 100% efficiency High rate capability Segmented : for multi-proton timing and L1 trigger Robust: capable of operating with little or no intervention in radiation environment (tunnel) - PMT’s, detectors, cables, and electronics must be able to tolerate radiation levels (for PMT’s this includes tolerance to external radiation damage, as well as to internal photocathode damage) - Backgrounds from other particles must not impair operation Andrew Brandt (UTA) AFP Workshop Prague 10Sep. 6, 2010

4x8 array of 5x5 mm 2 fused silica bars QUARTIC is Primary AFP Timing Detector Multiple measurements with “modest” resolution simplifies requirements in all phases of system 1) We have a readout solution for this option 2)We can have a several meter cable run to a lower radiation area where electronics will be located 3)Segmentation is natural for this detector 4)Possible optimization with quartz fibers instead of bars proton photons Only need a 40 ps measurement if you can do it 16 times: 2 detectors with 8 bars each, with about 10 pe’s per bar 11 UTA, Alberta, Giessen, Stonybrook (w/help from Louvain and FNAL) MCP-PMT

Timing vs. Number of PE’s 10  m Planacon If then timing independent of HV/gain

10 pe Time Resolution from Laser Tests 19 Laser tests of Photonis 10 µm tube show that with sufficient amplification there is no dependence of timing on gain (low gain operation extends lifetime of tube)

10/14/2009Andrew Brandt UTA20 No rate dependence on number of pixels hit (that’s a good thing!) Saturation from Laser Tests Saturation refers to the reduction in amplitude of the output signal due to the pores becoming busy at the rate increases (typically 1 msec recovery time/pore). This plot shows that saturation is a local phenomena, and is unaffected by multiple channels being on at the same time.

10/14/2009Andrew Brandt UTA21 Current/area for 10  m Tube Last point is 2.0 μA/cm 2 ~meeting the high luminosity goal. Photonis has made Planacon with 10x higher current capability which exceed meet our rate requirements (Note: even with saturation we still obtain the same time resolution!!!)

Beam vs Fiber Fiber timing not as good, but allows us flexibility for some characterization tests

If single fiber gives 35 ps then 4 fibers should give 17 ps; but note that with many fibers plugged in, individual pixel gets light leaking from neighboring channel, need to test that this effect is reproduced in test beam SQRT(N)? From averaging time of four measurements on event-by- event basis

Cross Talk Initial PE’s “bouncing” into nearby channels, or cascade electrons hitting a neighboring anode Results in a false signal in the adjacent channel, which may distort measurements of the real time value Anode 2 Photons Anode 1 Electrical Crosstalk Photoelectron Rebound Optical Crosstalk 24

Protons in Adjacent Pixels The amount of light sharing affects ability to measure two adjacent rows/columns independently As one proton enters some time before the other, the second timing measurement shifts due to cross talk Top View 25

Cross Talk Results Tested a prototype Burle Planacon tube using variable length fibers Examined both row and column effect of spillover light 100, 250 and 500 ps before the target pulse About10% of the pulse is detected in adjacent, empty pixels Data shows that early light is not significantly affected by late light Late light mean time is shifted, but is not totally dominated by the early pulse Late time measurement degrades significantly as Δt increases Exploring ways to reduce this effect 26

Sep. 6, 2010Andrew Brandt (UTA) AFP Workshop Prague 28 Reference Timing Reference timing is needed to connect two arms ~1km apart; what we want is T L -T R, what we measure is (T L -T ref )-(T R -T ref ), so need small jitter in T ref This setup has just been tested at SLAC to give <10 ps with 1000 ft cable The reference system uses a phase lock loop to maintain a constant number of wavelengths in a 100m cable. This synchronizes the phase of the RF at each end of the cable. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) launches a signal down the cable where it is reflected and sent back. The returned signal is then interfered with an external RF reference to synchronize it with the reference. At the end of the 100m cable the signal is sampled with a directional coupler which mixes the signal to produce a DC level. That DC level is fed back to the VCO to maintain a constant number of wavelengths in the cable.

Lifetime Issues Lifetime due to positive ions damaging the photocathode is believed to be proportional to extracted charge: Q/year = I*10 7 sec/year Q for 3  A/cm 2 is 30 C/cm 2 /yr Can reduce this requirement with fiber detector but still off by at least a factor of 20, so developed an R&D plan to pursue this Andrew Brandt (UTA) AFP Workshop Prague 29Sep. 6, 2010

Options for Improved Lifetime MCP-PMT Ion barrier, already demonstrated, this promises a factor 5 to 6 lifetime improvement (Hamamatsu SL10 may be better than this) Electron scrubbing demonstrated by Photonis gives a factor of ~5 lifetime improvement Z-stack promises a factor of 10 lifetime improvement (A.Yu. Barnyakov, et al., Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 598 (2009) 160) Arradiance coated MCP’s, to be demonstrated, this promises a factor of 10 or more lifetime improvement Various combinations of these factors are possible and should give multiplicative improvement factors, except for the electron scrubbing and Arradiance coating, which would be expected to be orthogonal 30Sep. 6, 2010Andrew Brandt (UTA) AFP Workshop Prague Pursuing funds to develop and test longer lifetime tubes. Photek will build tubes to our specification (no funding for this yet!). Photonis will insert Arradiance modified MCPs into their tubes (just received notification of NSF SBIR funding with Arradiance)
