1. Scintillator-ECAL Beam Test Scintillator-strip ECAL Beam test @ DESY My task and achievement at DESY Contents Satoru Uozumi Shinshu University, Japan Nov-23 2006 DESY HCAL meeting

2. Mega-strip scintillator MPPCs (1600 pixels) WLSF Frame 3.0 2.4 0.2 0.3 10.0 Φ1.1 5.0 3mm

3. Scintillator-ECAL Beam Test @ DESY in Feb - Mar 2007 WLSF Readout Direct Readout WLSF readout (Mega-strip) Direct readout (Mega-strip) WLSF readout (KNU, by extrusion) Goal : to check basic performance of the ECAL module with full MPPC readout. 27 layers

4. 9cm Frame Base board 50cm 20cm Scintillator-ECAL Beam Test @ DESY (cont.) FPCB : Flexible Printed Circuit Board e + beam AHCAL base board

5. MPPC coupling to scint. WLSF readoutDirect readout Sufficient number of photons !! 1 cm 4.5cm 3 mm thick  -ray source

6. My tasks @ DESY - collect necessary information toward the beam test - Learn about CALICE AHCAL readout electronics –Actual operation of the DAQ system –Confirm it has satisfactory performance for the GLD ECAL beam test Gain of ASIC amp Bias voltage setting for individual MPPC Pedestal – 1 p.e. peaks separation with the MPPC Dynamic range of the Amp and ADC with 1600 pixel Data analysis –Basic analysis scheme with the CALICE analysis framework Other stuffs –Movable stage, LED monitor, Drift chambers, trigger counters, etc…

7. Pedestal – 1 p.e. Peaks Separation (Calibration mode) Coaxial ~ 2 m To AHCAL baseboard MPPC Clear fiber LED V bias – V 0 = 1.95 V V bias – V 0 = 2.95 V

8. Dynamic range (Physics mode) Pedestal (~1123 ADC counts) Saturated MPPC Signal (~20220 ADC counts) (20220-1123) / 226 * 19.1 = 1603 pixels Distance between pededestal – 1 p.e. In Calibration mode Ratio of Gains between calib. and phys. mode The Dynamic range is enough for 1600 pixels. V bias – V 0 = 2.95 V

9. My tasks @ DESY Learn about AHCAL readout electronics –Actual operation of the DAQ system – Done –Confirm it has enough performance for the GLD ECAL beamtest – Done Peaks separation with the MPPC – Done Gain of ASIC – Done Bias voltage control for individual MPPC – Done Dynamic range – Done Data analysis –Basic analysis scheme with the CALICE analysis framework - Done Other stuffs –Movable stage - Done –Drift chambers – readout modules are now at CERN should be easy to operate –Trigger counters – Should be no problem Now all done !!

10. I really appreciate Beni, Erika, Felix, Sebastian, Niels, Nicola, Alexandra, Peter, and all the CALICE people at DESY ! [ Kan-sha … Lots of appreciation ]
