10 picoseconds original design goal (light travels 3mm in 10 psec!) gives large factor of background rejection; Phase I: lum up to several 10 33 t < 20 ps (<2 year timescale), Phase II: 10 34 t < 10 ps (<4 years) Use time difference between protons to measure z-vertex and compare with tracking z-vertex measured with silicon detector Pileup Background Rejection Ex: Two protons from one interaction and two b-jets from another Forward Proton Fast Timing WHY?

FP420 Baseline Plan 1 GASTOF 2 QUARTICs Lots of 3D silicon Two types of Cerenkov detector are employed: GASTOF – a gas Cerenkov detector that makes a single measurement QUARTIC – two QUARTIC detectors each with 4 rows of 8 fused silica bar allowing up to a 4-fold improvement over the single bar resolution Both detectors use Micro Channel Plate PMTs (MCP-PMTs)
3
The Detectors : 1) GASTOF (Louvain) Full Cerenkov cone is captured. Simulations show yield of about 10 pe accepted within few ps! 1 measurement of ~10 ps See K.P. Gastof talk for details
4
4x8 array of 6 mm 2 fused silica bars The Detectors : 2) QUARTIC UTA, Alberta, FNAL Only need 40 ps measurement if you can do it 16 times (2 detectors with 8 bars each)! Has x-segmentation for multi-proton timing proton photons

Fast Timing Is Hard! 3 mm =10 ps Detector Phototube or equivalent Electronics Reference timing Rad Hardness of detector, phototube and electronics, where to put electronics in tunnel Lifetime and recovery time of tube, grounding Background in detector and MCP Multiple proton timing ISSUES Time resolution for the full detector system: 1. Intrinsec detector time resolution 2. Jitter in PMT's 3. Electronics (AMP/CFD/TDC) 4. Reference Timing

Latest QUARTIC Prototype Testing long bars 90 mm (HE to HH) and mini bars 15 mm (HA to HD) Long bars more light from total internal reflection vs. losses from reflection in air light guide, but more time dispersion due to n( ) HE HH HC Note: prior to June 2008 test beam, results marginal for QUARTIC 15mm bar: 80 ps/bar 80% efficient; allows you to reach close to 20 ps, but not 10 ps

QUARTIC 15 mm bar/75 mm guide 20 ps ~ 5 pe’s accepted in 40 ps

QUARTIC 90 mm bar/0 mm guide 40 ps ~ 10 pe’s accepted in 40 ps
11
June 2008 Test Beam Due bto previous issues with test beam tracking failures, for the June 2008 run we planned to be secondary user for first week with 3dsil group, and primary user for 2 nd week, in order to ensure good tracking Planned laser tests at Louvain prior to TB run; mixed success Planned to have fully functional analysis program, mixed success Main goals of June run to validate detector design, including using tracking for efficiency measurement
12
Components of Fast Timing System For GASTOF replace CFD/TDC with single photon counter QUARTIC: Photonis planacon 10 m pore 8x8 or equivalent GASTOF: Hamamatsu 6 m pore single channel or equivalent Photek Mini-circuits ZX60 6 GHZ or equivalent Louvain Custom CFD (LCFD) HPTDC board (Alberta) Reference Timing Opto- modules/ ROD HV/LV UTA/Alberta for QUARTIC, PMT, Amp; barter with Louvain for GASTOF? (PMT sold separately!) Stoneybrook CFD BNL/Yale Manchester/UCL
13
S. White has specified system (presented at Oct. 17 fast timing meeting), I’m sure it will work, but would like to see it tested anyway Optical CFD dominates performance (< 5 ps) Provides average time as well for central event comparison

Online Screen Capture one histo is 10 ps per bin others are 20 ps histogram delta time between channels FWHM<100 so /2.36 ->dt~40 ps
20
Determining Pulse Time Burle (HF) Hamamatsu(G1) LCFD (HFc) Linear fit, use 50% time
21
Dt QUARTIC Long Bars after LCFD 56.6/1.4=40 ps/bar including CFD! Time difference between two 9 cm quartz bars after constant fraction discrimination is 56 ps, implies a single bar resolution of 40 ps
22
LCFD Resolution Split signal, take difference of raw time and CFD time-> LCFD resolution <27 ps This implies detector+tube ~30 ps
23
Tracking /Scope Synchronization Tracking shows that bars are highly efficient tracks for all events tracks with a bar on (b)/(a)
24
Detectors for 20 ps System Primary focus has been on designing detectors that are capable of 20 ps or better timing measurement at low to moderate luminosity (several 10 33 ) with high efficiency. (Lurking radiation issues, MCPPMT issues discussed later) For GASTOF ~15 ps with 90-99% efficiency depending on position (see K.P. talk) has been achieved for detector/PMT part of path with GASTOF/Hamamatsu (6 um pore), working on improvements, but don’t obviously need them for Phase I. Main issue: there has been no test of CFD/TDC (single photon counter?) and there is no clear readout integration plan For QUARTIC ~40 ps/bar has been achieved with 90+% efficiency including LCFD, separate tests of HPTDC promising (Pinfold talk) Main issue: Still need to demonstrate definitively lack of correlation between measurements allowing Sqrt(n)~4 reduction, MCPMT issues Reference timing of <10 ps does not appear to be a problem, but has not yet been demonstrated R&D funding needed for this
25
TB Summary June TB two+ weeks of running, tremendous effort 100+Gb of scope data, sizable fraction synchronized with tracking from Bonn telescope Analysis in progress Demonstrated good data, now finalizing results, plan to write a paper soon We potentially have two viable, complementary detector concepts for Phase I Will need more laser tests, simulation and test beam before design is finalized Working on building a U.S. ATLAS collaboration for Phase 1+2 funding (new effort welcome!); Giessen (not in the U.S.) has expressed interest
26
ATLAS/CMS QUARTIC MCP-PMT Needs For current QUARTIC design, need about a dozen 10 m pores 64 channel Planacon (or Photek equivalent) High rate +current capability needed In contact with Photonis+Photek Better grounding

Would like to get this under $500k (reasonable MRI level)
28
Issues: Radiation Damage Effect of radiation on detector, PMT’s, electronics needs to be evaluated, Potential showstopper -fused silica (should be ok, Alberta will quantify) -GASTOF mirror (should be ok, Louvain will quantify) -Hamamatsu MCP-PMT (some tests at Louvain seemed ok but more studies needed), Burle+Photek not yet tested -SMA cables (should be okay) -LCFD (Louvain will test) -Single photon counter (?) -HPTDC chip and board (Alberta will test) -LV/HV (assume this is provided) Where will the different components be located? (we are assuming amp will be on detector, few meter cable run to LCFD crate/SPC mounted on tunnel wall, HPTDC crate will be here as well) Pin this down at Manchester? Keith, Detlef, Andrew et al Planned cryostat shielding sufficient? Can we get measurements?
29
Issues: Backgrounds Effect of radiation environment from POV of detector/MCP-PMT response (spray, slow particles) Potential Showstopper -GASTOF+QUARTIC both insensitive to particles incident with a large angle, but slow particles from previous bunch could be a problem, as well as showers arriving with (slightly before) the proton of interest (for example from another proton showering off the bottom of the silicon pocket) -From test beam, particles striking MCP-PMT directly is a concern -> Need to include detectors in full simulation (GASTOF Geant timescale?) QUARTIC Geant4 New manpower Andrei Sobol/Vladimir Samoyenko results Jan/Feb In touch with background group
30
Issues: MCP-PMT Rate +lifetime capabilities (Major concern) Availability of tubes (Major concern) Radiation (Major concern) Grounding (Major concern)
31
Coherent Noise! ground oscillation channel hit
32
Other Issues/TB 220 m modifications needed Multiple proton timing Readout integration At least two more test beams needed (test of final GASTOF prototype, two QUARTIC iterations, readout tests), when where? Spring Fermilab? Summer CERN? 8 channel test+HPTDC test? GASTOF? Enough shifters? Need final laser results first
33
Fast Timing Workshop Highlights Lots of progress in sampling readout circuits to replace CFD+(TDC?), could be useful for GASTOF, likely overkill for QUARTIC; speed, event size, and rad hardness questions discussed with Gary Varner Hawaii (follow-up?) Japanese group presented new 5 ps CFD option (M.R. investigate) Discussions with Photek, who will try to produce a 75mm diameter round tube with 6 mm pixels, 10 um pores, $50k?! (A.B. will visit in Photek in January) Also have possibility of Photek “solar blind” photocathode 100 nm to 300 nm which could last longer, possibly be interesting Have contact with Garland MCP expert, (A.B. will investigate) Aging is a real issue, but tests are conflicting (Jerry got longer than expected, Nagoya got shorter, but also have an aluminum coating fix that Photonis not too keen on) Lots of test beam results from Chicago, Argonne, FNAL group, discussed Argonne involvement
34
Issues/Progress TB analysis: continues slowly, UTA very slow due to loss of Shane, plan to write a paper Laser tests: got laser, set up test stand with new Grad student, couple undergrads, making good progress Next QUARTIC prototype: will be built at Alberta using 5 mm square long bars to avoid mixing of channels, they have previous prototype, Alberta working on drawings, A.B. got quote on new bars, $1300 for one detector Sebastian gave good ref timing update at Oct. 17 meeting Good progress on HPTDC (Jim), plan January test at UTA
35
Multiple proton tracking: 2 nd detector could start with 3mm width and be offset by ½ pixel? Could use Detector 1 to measure yellow and earlier of pink or red Detector 2 to measure red and earlier of pink or yellow (so if pink earlier than red or yellow, measure all 3). For 2 track event would measure both tracks in at least one detector if tracks separated by more than 3 mm, and sometimes if < 3 mm) Final QUARTIC Design Considerations
36
Jim Pinfold Fiber timing? Advantages, can avoid cracks, use larger region of pmt
37
Summary Many issues some potentially very serious (radiation, backgrounds, MCP), trying to address in fast timing group (not easy to manage) Still need a coherent work and funding plan (continue FP420 collab as long as possible, how to barter detectors?) Test beam plan needed Suggest bi-weekly meetings of interested parties until all issues are resolved, detectors built Two years is enough time assuming no bad surprises, but not at current activity level, delays in approval/funding becoming critical
