2 Fulvio TESSAROTTO CERN, 20/03/2008 - GDD Meeting - Contribution from Trieste The power supply We used for this measurement one channel of the CAEN N471A power supply, reading the voltage from the LED display ( +- 1 V ) and the current from the “current monitor” output (5 mV offset, 1 mV/nA) We checked the stability of the power supply by looking at signals on the HV output, using a HV cable, a 1 nF capacitor and Le Croy oscilloscope Typical ripple has ~ 30 μs period, 80 mV pp at HV=4kV, the ripple amplitude being roughly linear with voltage

7 Fulvio TESSAROTTO CERN, 20/03/2008 - GDD Meeting - Contribution from Trieste The home-made picoammeters Several temporary arrangements were tested for the home- made picoamperometers, using solderless breadboard, micro pcb on ceramic insulators and customly designed pcb’s for home-made picomaperometers - When powered by batteries they work fine at HV (tested up to 8kV), with stable offsets <10 pA - Using a battery + resistor current source of ~60 pA we checked that the reading was correct at few pA level; the ultimate resolution is still to be determined At ground, the agreement between Keithley measurements and home-made picoammeters values is roughly 1pA

14 Fulvio TESSAROTTO CERN, 20/03/2008 - GDD Meeting - Contribution from Trieste Reading the voltmeters We decided to register picoammeter redings by saving pictures of the displays CANON Camera programmed to shoot every 2 seconds: this allows registering measurements and all intermediate operations done by humans From picture analysis the images on LED displays are translated into numbers (~ 40000 pictures so far) This solution avoids electrical connections to the acquisition system

36 Fulvio TESSAROTTO CERN, 20/03/2008 - GDD Meeting - Contribution from Trieste Test of analog r/o chain Single photon signals are generated by a picosecond laser providing ~20 ps long pulses and a correlated timing signal Laser amplitudes are reduced by geometric selection and laser tune down to a probability of 95% no photon pulses. One pixel of a Hamamtsu R7600-03-M16 MAPMT is used to provide signal to our analog r/o chain through a resistive divider (reducing the signal by a factor 4). The ORTEC 142 preamp coupled to the ORTEC 450 amplifier and the CAEN N957 was used to collect amplitude spectra a rough calibration was performed for several gain factors, showing evidence of non linearities for large signals: only signals in the linear range have been used Spectra were taken at various gains and combined in a single plot to increase the dynamic range of the measurement
