2. UoA calibration system2 The main idea is that we need continuous monitoring and relative calibration info (absolute will be done by physics channels) from the above systems. BCAL involves novel readout elements (the SiPM’s) and their performance as well as the possible ageing of the detector elements etc has to be monitored and studied extensively (gain shifts etc). The main philosophy behind : GENERAL QUIDELINES The calibration system should be:  Modular-> applicable to both detectors  Simple (avoid optical benches and high power lasers, exploit available technology)  The light->readout part: small in size->since readout elements are closely packed  Reasonably priced

3. Pulser Control Module (LPCM) and Fan out to LED boards LED OUR PROPOSED SOLUTION: OUR PROPOSED SOLUTION: After a study of the various options (Laser +light distributions with fibers, low cost splitters etc) we converged to light generated by LED’s close to the calorimeters APPLICABLE TO BOTH CALORIMETERS LED board 3UoA calibration system

5. Possible considerations for BCAL +SiPM  LED board size new design Board height (components + PCB thickness = 1.4mm + 0.8mm ≤ 2.5mm  LED ageing: for output 20ns at 1kHZ expect 620sec “on”/year 7% deterioration/year for DC operation  Positioning the board: on the tapering of the Winston cone (can illuminate the other side SiPM) 5UoA calibration system8/23/2015

The light injection from the LED to the light guides has to be finalized. The number of boards, colours, positions etc for FCAL have been also defined for the FCAL, subject to testing with the first article. 8/23/201524UoA calibration system

Wires needed (8): T1, T2, T3, T4, +5V, GND, Vbias, GND_B CALCULATION OF VOLTAGE DROP IN CASE ALL LED’s FIRE AT ONCE In any case, assuming 25V operation, 1km of ribbon cable (250 Ohm/km), AWG 28 a pessimistic 10000 MOhms insulation resistance for each cap we have 2.5nA/cap leakage, i.e. 100nA per box of 40 caps which on a 1km cable gives a drop of 25 uV. If the insulation resistance drops to 1000 MOhms, say due to humidity, the drop over 1km cable will be 0.25 mV. If I add protection to the Vbias wire against overvoltage or electrostatic build-up, this is expected to add some microamps of leakage, depending on the device chosen. This may result in a few mV of voltage drop for 1km wire.
