1 1 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005 HBD upgrade status. Sasha Milov Dec 07, 2005

2 2 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005  Mechanical assembly  Photocathode production and measurement  Glove Box modification  GEMs testing  Electronics status  Beam testProgress:

3 3 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005  Mechanical parts are being produced  Delay in the PCB due to changes in the pad design  Finalizing the HV panel design  Good progress in GEM assembly and test. Mechanical assembly.

4 4 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005 Pad plane design.  Fixed number of electronics channels (192 per sector) needs to be matched with the number of pads. Best solution in the old version eliminates acceptance loss by wiring pads between HV sectors. That might create grounding problems. To avoid that we consider modification of the pad shape at the edges where pads are partially shadowed by GEM frames. That has several advantages:  best grounding  easy to match with N channels  no acceptance loss  somewhat smaller pad size (good) a=15.0 mm

5 5 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005 Pad plane production  Pad plane production is foreseen at CERN ( as done for the full scale prototype).  Quotation is higher than originally estimated (small problem)  Delivery time is 19 weeks !!! (big problem). Negotiations are underway with CERN to speed up production a factor of two at least.

6 6 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005 New HV panel.  Eliminates the HV divider boxes. Reduces the number of HV cables to the HBD and the number of SHV connectors on the HBD from 168 to 48.  HV dividers should be made smaller to reduce the material and mechanical stress on the detector boxes. Current version is below.  Prototype constructed and tested up to 6 KV without any problem (operating voltage is less than 4 KV).

7 7 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005  INFN evaporator from JLab is at SUNYSB is up and working vacuum down to 8E-8 mbarr capable to produce 4 full size at a time Q.E. control works inside the vessel Residual Gas Analyzer works inside the vessel  Produced several 10x10 cm 2 photocathodes on GEMs (previously used and washed, but fully operational)Photocathodes.  Q.E. is controlled during production at SUNYSB and precisely measured at BNL.  Results are: a) reproducible b) as good as best WIS results !!!

8 8 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005  GB bids came out x2.5-x5 higher than originally planned.  INFN GB is not a good investment opportunity.  Way out: reconsider procedure to lower cost of the required GB. Pipe-line gain test & installation rather than doing them in one shot First the gain test is done on all needed shots for CsI cathodes. Each successful cathode goes into high vacuum storage. Only when all needed cathodes are made installation of all cathodes into HBD vessel begins. Such new protocol makes glove box smaller AND takes better care of GEMS. New bid process for (budget)-lighter table was started yesterday. Use Laminar Table prior to deposition instead of GB, which provides STRICT control over dust and less that of H 2 O and O 2 but they are not yet an issue. Laminar table is better solution than using GB (better dexterity). A working table is in possession, needs fresh filters... on order.  These changes reduce the needed size of the glove box by 2X.  We can additionally reduce the cost by re-engineering the air-lock (flow-through not pumped). Glove Box design vs. cost.

9 9 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005  Vacuum storage needed for new procedure is the ultimate quality storage for GEM+CsI. A suitable Stainless steel vessel was found (free) Missing end-flanges were made ($1800) Turbo Pump (borrowed) will be removed from NSL beam line 2 weeks from now (free).  Re-assessed overall budget and it seems with the new glove box design we are on track.  Design of full sized GEM holder for evaporator done and in shop.  Ancillary designs (pizza boxes, railroads, flip tables,...) underway (finished conceptually). Other parts needed.

10 10 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005 GEM testing.  GEM triplet assembled at WIS has ~50% gain variation across the area  Production of other GEMs was suspended to investigate the reasons.  Assembly procedure was found not to be an issue, it is well reproducible.

11 11 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005 GEM testing. Ratio of single GEM gain product over triplet is flat. That proves that the large gain variations in the triple GEM detector are not due to assembly. The non-uniformities in single GEMs add to a larger effect in the triple GEM module. Strategy: A possible solution to minimize the gain variations in the triple GEM detector is to make all possible combinations of GEMs and to choose the combinations with minimum spread. For that the gain maps of each GEM (corrected for P/T variations) will be stored in a database. CERN production is restored

12 12 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005 Electronics status (FEE).  Motherboard with preamps is installed on the prototype at BNL.  Signals and noise are under investigation.  Shielding helps a lot!

We have most of the parts for 5 boards) Optical out – Design is done -- checking New DCM daughter card design is done -- checking For Clockmaster, clock fanout, ADC and backplane, the prototype boards are assembled Electronics status (FEM).

16 16 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005 LEGS beam test.  Everything was in place and ready to go, besides LEGS magnet.  Got water leak from the repaired coil on the day of operation. This problem cannot be fixed and would require a major repair.  Optimistic forecast brings us to the end of spring.  Other options are very welcomed, like getting beam at AGS.

17 17 Sasha Milov DC meeting Dec 7, 2005  Mechanical assembly is on its way. Some modifications are made to the pad plane and HV feed-ins.  CsI Q.E. curve is good and reproducible  Glove Box is reconsidered to match existing budget. Requires slightly different game plan on assembly, but well doable without quality compromise.  GEM testing is important. GEMs will be separately tested at WIS and assembled in triplets to get best uniformity  Electronics has in work. Motherboard is under test with the prototype.  Test beam is needed. LEGS option is still considered, but nothing will happen soon.Summary:
