Title: Recent Achievements of the ATLAS Upgrade Planar Pixel Sensors
R&D Project
Abstract content
In the framework of the HL-LHC upgrade, the ATLAS experiment plans to introduce an all-silicon inner tracker with the HL-LHC upgrade to cope with the elevated occupancy.
To investigate the suitability of pixel sensors using the proven planar technology for the upgraded tracker, the ATLAS Planar Pixel Sensor R&D Project was established comprising 19 institutes and more than 90 scientists. Main areas of research are
- performance assessment and improvement of planar pixel sensors at HL-LHC fluences
- the achievement of slim or active edges to provide low geometric inefficiencies without the need for shingling of modules
- establishment of reliable device simulations for severely radiation-damaged pixel detectors
- the exploration of possibilities for cost reduction to enable the instrumentation of large areas with pixel detectors
The presentation will give an overview of the R&D project and highlight some accomplishments, among them
- beam test results with planar sensors up to innermost layer fluences
- measurements obtained with irradiated thin edgeless n-in-p pixel assemblies
- recent studies of the SCP technique to obtain almost active edges by post-processing already existing sensors based on scribing, cleaving and edge passivation
- update on prototyping efforts for large areas: sensor design improvements, 6” wafer production experience, 8” wafer production possibilities, concepts for low-cost hybridisation
Together, these results will allow an assessment of the state-of-the-art with respect to radiation-hard position-sensitive tracking detectors suited for the instrumentation of large areas.
Summary
To extend the physics reach of the LHC, upgrades to the accelerator are planned to increase the peak luminosity by a factor 5 to 10 which will enable the experiments to collect up to 3000 fb-1 of data. This, however, will lead to increased occupancy and radiation damage of the inner trackers, approaching fluences of a few 10^16 neq/cm2 at the innermost layer and still some 10^15 neq/cm2 at the outer pixel layers.
The ATLAS experiment plans to introduce an all-silicon inner tracker with the HL-LHC upgrade to cope with the elevated occupancy. With silicon, the occupancy can be adjusted by using the unit size (pixel, strip or short strip sensors) appropriate for the radiation environment. For radiation damage reasons, only electron-collecting sensors designs are considered (n-in-p and n-in-n): Beyond a fluence of about 10^15 neq/cm2, trapping becomes the dominant radiation effect and electrons are trapped significantly less than holes.
To investigate the suitability of pixel sensors using the proven planar technology for the upgraded tracker, the ATLAS Planar Pixel Sensor R&D Project was established comprising 19 institutes and more than 90 scientists. Main areas of research are
- performance assessment and improvement of planar pixel sensors at HL-LHC fluences
- the achievement of slim or active edges to provide low geometric inefficiencies without the need for shingling of modules
- establishment of reliable device simulations for severely radiation-damaged pixel detectors
- the exploration of possibilities for cost reduction to enable the instrumentation of large areas with pixel detectors
It has been demonstrated with sensors from different vendors that planar pixel sensors can be operated and still yield more than 5000 electrons of signal charge even above 1016 neq/cm2; hit efficiencies of well above 97% were obtained.
Special slim-edge designs have been implemented and tested and show a reduction of the inactive edges from 1100 µm in the current ATLAS Pixel Detector to only about ~200 µm. Further improvements towards fully active edges by SCP (scribe-cleave-passivate) and DRIE etching techniques have been prototyped and look promising.
The presentation will give an overview of the R&D project and highlight some accomplishments, among them
- beam test results with planar sensors up to innermost layer fluences
- measurements obtained with irradiated thin edgeless n-in-p pixel assemblies
- recent studies of the SCP technique to obtain almost active edges by post-processing already existing sensors based on scribing, cleaving and edge passivation
- update on prototyping efforts for large areas: sensor design improvements, 6” wafer production experience, 8” wafer production possibilities, concepts for low-cost hybridisation
Together, these results will allow an assessment of the state-of-the-art with respect to radiation-hard position-sensitive tracking detectors suited for the instrumentation of large areas.

Title: A scalable gigabit data acquisition system for calorimeters for
linear collider
Abstract content
This article presents the scalable Data Acquisition (DAQ) system that has been designed for prototypes of ultra-granular calorimeters for the International Linear Collider (ILC). Our design is generic enough to cope with other applications with some minor adaptations. The DAQ is made up of four different modules, including an optional one. One Detector InterFace (DIF) is placed at each end of the detector elements (SLAB) to communicate with up to 160 ASICs. A single HDMI cable is used to transmit both slow-control and readout data over a serial 8b/10b encoded characters at 50 Mb/s to the Gigabit Concentrator Card (GDCC). The GDCC controls up to 7 DIFs, it is distributing the system clock and ASICs configuration, and collecting data from them. Each DIFs data packet is encapsulated in Ethernet format and sent out via an optical or copper link. The Data Concentrator Card (DCC) is a multiplexer (1 to 8) that can be optionally inserted between the GDCC and the DIFs, increasing the number of managed ASICs by the GDCC. Using a single GDCC and 7 DCCs would allow a single PC to control and readout up to 8960 ASICs
(~ 500000 channels). The fourth card is the Clock and Control Card (CCC) that provides a clock and control fanout to up to 8 GDCCs and therefore to the entire system. A software suite (named Calicoes) written in C and Python manages the overall system. This system have been used for several tests on the SiW-ECAL prototype detector
(1800 channels). The full design and test results will here detailed.

Title: High-precision fiber-optical timing distribution systems over
large distances and their application to astroparticle physics
facilities
Abstract content
Future astroparticle physics facilities like CTA [1] and KM3NeT [2] require a relative timing precision better than 1 ns between detector elements separated by up to 100 km. At the same time, fiber-optical links for high-capacity data transfer from detector elements to central processing facilities are needed. The Open Hardware project White Rabbit [3] provides both data and time transfer functionality over the same optical fiber, and its implementation is currently being investigated for both facilities. Here, we present the current implementation status and performance measurements. In addition, propagation delays of optical 10 Gb/s data over a 75 km long amplified fiber link have recently been determined with an uncertainty of 4 ps [4]. This opens up the possibility of even more precise, picosecond-level precision time transfer over long-distance optical communication links for wide-area astroparticle detector arrays.

Title: Neutron-insensitive gamma-ray detector with aerogel for rare
neutral-kaon decay experiment
Abstract content
A novel gamma-ray detector which is highly sensitive to photons but insensitive to neutrons has been developed for the rare neutral-kaon decay experiment (KOTO experiment) at J-PARC.
This experiment aims to study the KL->pi0nunubar decay with an electromagnetic calorimeter and hermetic veto detectors surrounding the the decay region.
The veto counters located in the beam should be able to detect such photons as to be escaping to the direction with high efficiencies under the huge neutron flux of 500MHz.
This detector consists of a series of modules of lead and aerogel pairs.
Incident photons are converted to electrons and positrons in lead sheets and the photons from their Cerenkov radiation in the aerogel sheets are viewed by photomultiplier tubes.
Since protons or charged pions, which are mainly produced by neutrons, do not emit the Cerenkov light because of their small velocity, excellent blindness to neutrons can be achieved while keeping high photon detection efficiency around 99.9% for the energies larger than 1 GeV.
The half of the modules of the detector were installed and used as an in-beam photon veto detector in the first physics data taking of the KOTO experiment.
The detector operated stably during 1 week of data taking and the expected performance on photon detection was confirmed as a result of evaluation using KL->3pi0 decay events.
In this presentation, the design of this detector, stability and performance studies in the physics data taking, and the future prospects will be reported.

Title: Performance of the EUSO-BALLOON Front-End Electronics
Abstract content
Here the performance of EUSO-BALLOON front-end electronics with dedicated detector elements will be reported.
EUSO-BALLOON is a balloon-borne pathfinder of the space-borne fluorescence detector JEM-EUSO (Extreme Universe Space Observatory on board Japanese Experimental Module) on board the International Space Station.
The goal of EUSO-BALOON is to perform as a technological demonstrator of JEM-EUSO, to study the background and the detection of an atmospheric shower in a series of launches starting in 2014.
The EUSO-BALLOON focal surface consists of one Photo Detector Module (PDM) while the focal surface of JEM-EUSO will consist of 137 PDMs which corresponding to roughly 5,000 64-channel Multi-Anode Photomultiplier Tubes (MAPMTs). One PDM consists of 9 Elementary Cell units (EC_units). Each EC_unit contains 4 MAPMTs and a set of PCBs used to supply high voltages to the MAPMTs and to read out the output signals. These signals are transmitted to the front-end electronics, the EC-ASIC boards each of which contains 6 SPACIROC ASICs which has been developed for JEM-EUSO. To be operated in a space environment with a limited power budget, and covering a wide dynamic range for extreme energy cosmic ray (>5x10^19 eV) observation, the ASIC is designed to perform single photon counting in a dynamic range of 1 photoelectron (PE) to 300 PEs/pixel/2.5 µs, with double pulse resolution of 30 ns, and low power consumption (<1 mW/ch).
During the year 2013, the flight model EC_units and EC_ASIC PCBs were produced and the performance was successfully tested and confirmed.

Title: Scanning facility to irradiate mechanical structures for the
LHC upgrade programme
Abstract content
The existing luminosity of the LHC will be increased in stages to a factor of 10 above its current level (HL-LHC) by 2022. This planned increase in luminosity results in significantly higher levels of radiation inside the planned ATLAS Upgrade detector. This means existing detector technologies together with new components and materials need to be re-examined to evaluate their performance and durability within this enhanced radiation field. Of particular interest is the effect of radiation on the upgraded ATLAS tracker. To study these effects a new ATLAS irradiation scanning facility uses the Medical Physics Cyclotron at the University of Birmingham. The intense cyclotron beams allow irradiated samples to receive in minutes fluences corresponding to years of operation at the HL-LHC.
Since commissioning in early 2013 this facility has been used to irradiate silicon sensors, optical components and carbon fibre sandwiches for the ATLAS upgrade programme. Irradiations of silicon sensors and passive materials can be carried out in a temperature controlled cold box which moves continuously through the homogenous beamspot. This movement is provided by a pre-configured XY-axis cartesian robot system (scanning system). This paper reviews the design, development, commissioning, performance results and future plans of the irradiation facility, fully operational since 2013.
Summary
In 2022 the luminosity of the LHC will be increased in stages to a factor of 10 above its current level. This planned increase in luminosity results in significantly higher levels of radiation inside the planned ATLAS Upgrade detector with detrimental effects to existing detector technologies. To study these effects a new bespoke ATLAS high intensity proton irradiation scanning facility has been constructed using a Cyclotron at the University of Birmingham, enabling the evaluation of future detector technologies in several minutes as opposed to years of operation. This paper reviews the design, development, commissioning, performance results and future plans of the irradiation facility, fully operational since 2013.

Title: Luminescent and scintillation properties of LFS-3 and GAGG:Ce
crystals
Abstract content
Many of the contemporary photonics technologies dealing with detection of radiation owe their existence to diverse scintillation materials. The scintillators play a decisive role in the registration of X-rays and γ-quanta necessary in many fields of application in industry, medicine, fundamental research, and security where they are used to convert high-energy photons into visible light. Co-doped LFS-3 and mixed GAGG:Ce recently developed from Zecotek Photonics Inc. and Furukawa Co Ltd companies respectively. These crystals are very fast, with high density and very high light output. Their absorption, excitation and emission spectra were measured and compared. Results indicate that the difference between the emission intensities among GAGG:Ce samples seems to be more pronounced than in the case of LFS-3 crystal samples. However, the relative average deviation of the emission intensities does not exceed the experimental error. Moreover, pulse amplitude spectra were performed using for excitation a 137Cs gamma-radiation source. A standard Ø40x40 mm NaI(Tl) detector was used for reference and values of energy resolution and light output (% to NaI(Tl)) were determined. Energy resolution was measured by reading out the light emerging from one end (3x3 face) of the crystals, using a Hamamatsu R1307 PMT connected to an appropriate amplifier and a Multy Channel Analyzer (MCA). Best energy resolution values of 7.3% for a 3x3x20mm^3 GAGG:Ce crystal sample and 8,9% for a 3x3x10mm^3 LFS-3 sample were recorded.

Title: Development of Superconducting Tunnel Junction Photon Detector
on SOI Preamplifier Board to Search for Radiative decays of Cosmic
Background Neutrino.
Abstract content
We develop superconducting tunnnel junction (STJ) to search for radiative decays of cosmic background neutrino using cosmic infrared background energy spectrum.
The requirement for performance of the detector in our experiment is to detect a single far-infrared photon.
We can detect a single far-infrared photon with Nb/Al-STJ theoretically. So far we have not succeeded in detecting it yet because the signal of a single far-infrared photon with the STJ is too small comaparing with the present noise of our electronics.
To solve this problem, we use a charge sensitive preamplifier that can operate at low temperature around 1K to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of STJ.
cSOI(Silicon on Insulator) preamplifier is a candidate of the preamplifier as it was proved to operate at 4K by a JAXA/KEK group.
We have developed a STJ processed on a SOI preamplifier board to make this detector compact.
Firstly, we have processed STJ on a SOI board with only SOI-MOSFET's to check the connection between STJ and SOIFET and the STJ processing without any damage on SOIFET.
We confirmed that the SOIFET had excellent performance below 1K and the STJ on SOI could operate normally.
Then we made and tested the second version of SOI-STJ detector with the readout circuit on SOI wafer as the charge sensitive amplifier.
We will report the present status of development of this SOI-STJ detector.
