RESMDD02 July , Florence, A.Singovski, University of Minnesota6 APD radiation damage Radiation damage of APD can influence ECAL performance by essentially two effects: -rise of the bulk current  increase APD noise contribution to the energy resolution -early breakdown  breakdown happens before APD can reach operation point at Gain=50

RESMDD02 July , Florence, A.Singovski, University of Minnesota7 APD contribution to the ECAL resolution Resolution: where, a : due to intrinsic shower fluctuations & photo statistics b : related to stability and reproducibility c : noise contributions CMS design goal : a ~3%, b~0.5%, c~200 MeV APD contributions: a - photo statistics (area, QE) & excess noise factor b - gain variation with bias voltage and temperature c - capacitance as series noise and dark current as parallel noise

RESMDD02 July , Florence, A.Singovski, University of Minnesota17 Screening Method: - irradiate 100% of APD`s (0.5 Mrad) with Co-60 gamma source (at PSI); - measure VB and Id(V) of all irradiated APD`s 1 day after irradiation (at PSI); - measure noise at M=1, 50, 150, 300 before annealing (at CERN APD Lab) - anneal all APD`s in the oven (for 4 weeks at T=80C, at CERN APD Lab); - measure VB, Id(V) after annealing/ageing (at CERN APD Lab); - reject potentially non-reliable APD`s: ones showing - Shift of Vb more than 5V - high Id - high noise

RESMDD02 July , Florence, A.Singovski, University of Minnesota20 Gamma irradiation summary 1.APDs are sensitive to the gamma irradiation. 2.Several percents “die” after irradiation -> get a breakdown close to the operation point. 3.Screening, applied to 100% of APDs make them 99.9% rad. Hard.
