5. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/065 Some workouts on costs: main question mark is electronics: L.E. discriminators vs CF discriminators, need to correct time-walk reductions: Cheaper laser calibration system Cheaper PMTs for TOF1 Counters: in-house machining of lightguides

6. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/066 TOF0/1 global design mechanics+counters: defined TOF0 40x40 cm2, TOF1 42X42 cm2 or less. Segmentation 4cm (6 cm) TOF0 (TOf1). X/Y geometry: redundancy+cross calibration with muons PMTs: we advocate (with some caveats) same choice for TOF1 and TOF0 (see later) FE electronics: TDC V1290 seems valuable choice, but needs interactions with CAEN discriminators: under study, we have to finalize BTF analysis + possibly some tests with a cosmics testbench in Milano (LE vs CF) Time walk correction: needs to finalize BTF testbeam study, to see if it is really needed: if so extra costs for QADC

7. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/067 General design of mechanics: 2 X/Y layers Good to increase  t Good for detector intercalibration

8. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/068 Conventional PMTs shielding  TOF0 PMTs requires no shielding, aside 1 mm  -metal due to small B field (B << 50 Gauss, Kevin private communication)  TOF1/2 even after the 100 mm global iron shielding needs some additional shielding to use conventional PMTs (as B // ~ 200 Gauss, B _|_ ~.1 T)

9. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/069 B field with one 100 mm iron shield (current design)

10. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0610 B field is ~ 200-300 G //; ~ 1000 G _|_ at r=30-35 cm (PMTs position) I doubt it can be shielded with individual PMTs shields, preserving good timing properties this point to 2 nd shield, but we will try to test PMTs “exotic shieldings” by building a 400 G lab solenoid

11. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0611 Problem: R4998 can bare B _|_ but not B // B // < 50 Gauss fine; B _|_ < 100-120 Gauss fine with present  -metal shielding add soft iron PMTs shielding

12. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0612 B field with 2 iron shields sandwiching TOF (100 mm gap) PMTs will be put at ~ 33-35 cm

13. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0613 B // ~ 40 Gauss, B _|_ ~ 1200 Gauss Problem: B-field perturbation from individual PMTs shielding has not been simulated: this implies a 3-D calculation Valuable option to be finalized (conventional PMTs cheaper + better performances)

14. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0614 Br B-field for different gaps

15. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0615 From presentation by G. Gregoire at PC-224 and J.Cobb at PID // session  Close outer gap between to discs; thicker 2nd disc (50mm) Somewhat more complex – engineering / mounting TOFs…. G. Gregoire Shield

16. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0616 B_r B_z G. Gregoire scheme gives very effective shielding for TOF1/2 500 gauss -- 500 gauss

17. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0617 Conclusions for TOF1 PMTs use of conventional PMTs with ~1 mm  -metal shielding + additional 10/50 mm global iron shield (Jon&Holger original proposal or modified G. Gregoire one) valuable option for TOF1 Better timing Much lower cost (factor 2) and guaranteed production from Hamamatsu Same PMTs all around Needs mounting of PMTs at r>30-33 cm: this is fine for present design (TOF1 48 x 48 cm 2 ), but if we reduce dimensions of TOF1 (say TOF1 42x42 cm 2 ) needs revised design of lightguides (longer ones). NO REAL PROBLEM. Bad: some extra work for additional global shielding, it may be integrated in TOF1 support structure But need a 3-D field computation to check perturbation from PMTs individual shielding on B field

24. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0624 Preliminary results From DAQ analysis more complete check: you test also used TDC (CAEN V1290), used discriminators in real TOF measure, time-walk effects … ROOT files from JS analyzed by Yordan and Roumen + some hints from MB results still preliminary (some data sets not yet analyzed)

25. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0625 Taken data: data taken with 3 bars of different type data taken with different discriminators: L.E. CAEN N417, L.E. PLS 711, CF ORTEC 8000 data taken with different TDC: CAEN V1290, CAEN V775 QADC data (for time-walk corrections) available

We expect 85 ps from 60 ps single counter resolution, we see 140 ps Remind TOF is double-plane (X/Y) so 80 ps means in reality 60 ps for real life MICE TOF measurements

30. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0630 A first hint: time-walk Side plots point to a jitter/ time-walk problem of used discriminators needs to check with further testbeam data (with CF discriminator) requires some lab tests on discriminator Cut=0; 135 ps Cut=.25 ; 125 ps Cut=.10; 91 ps

32. M. Bonesini - MICE PID review 12/10/0632 Conclusions no foreseen problems for mechanics we advocate use of conventional PMTs for TOF1 + global shielding (G. Gregoire design ?) BTF analysis in course points to good intrinsic counter resolution, reasonable behaviour of V1290 TDC, but requires to think about discriminators/time walk corrections TRD will be updated soon (MICE Note 145+ BTF testbeam results) up to now upstream PID TOFes in schedule (delays may come from funding)
