14. RMS study with Bias  4 detector pcbs can be connected to one backplane PCB. Read by 2 FEE boards.  2 detector PCBs are read by one FEE(64 channels).  Connected only detector PCB to backplane PCB.  So only 32 channels (0 to 31) show higher RMS compared to other 32(32 to 63)  RMs is high at bias 0v and decreases with increasing bias voltage. Stabilizes >45V.  Few times rms has gone bad for some channels. Mean adc values have gone down to zero. See next 2 slides @0V @30V@45V @60V @70V@80V

15. @0V @30V @45V @60V On 21.08.13 Pedestal Study-1 Mean ADC values for some channels have gone down- channels above colored circles. Suspect humidity- The silicon gels have gone pale.

16. @0V@30V @45V @65V 0n22.0813 Pedestal Study-2 Mean ADC values for all channels have normal values. None close to zero Kept the detector inside desiccators with new silicon gels over night. Humidity in the lab also more due to rains..

18. Status and plans for the test beam (PS and SPS) A new PCB for Silicon pad detectors is being made Pad detectors to be mounted on the PCB Prepare the readout with MANAS and ANU chips Prepare the tower Present tower design is 4 Si-pad detectors in each plane Tests can be done with single Si-pad detector in each plane or with 4 Si-pad detectors in each plane We have 25 tungsten plates (10 cm x 10 cm) We can organize properly to gain maximum information during the tests Provision for inserting MAPS detector in between ….
