Title: Upgrade of the CMS Global Muon Trigger
Abstract content
The increase in center-of-mass energy and luminosity for Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider pose new challenges for the trigger systems of the experiments. To keep triggering with a similar performance as in Run 1, the CMS muon trigger is currently being upgraded. The new algorithms will provide higher resolution, especially for the muon transverse momentum and will make use of isolation criteria that combine calorimeter with muon information already in the level-1 trigger. The demands of the new algorithms can only be met by upgrading the level-1 trigger system to new powerful FPGAs with high bandwidth I/O. The processing boards will be based on the new microTCA standard. We report on the planned algorithms for the upgraded Global Muon Trigger (GMT) which combines information from the muon trigger sub-systems and assigns the isolation variable. The upgraded GMT will be implemented using a Master Processor 7 card, built by Imperial College, that features a large Xilinx Virtex 7 FPGA. Up to 72 optical links at 10 Gb/s will be used to receive energy sums from the calorimeter trigger and muon candidates directly from the sector processors of the upgraded trigger, absorbing the final sorting stage of each muon sub-system and thus minimizing the latency of the trigger.

Title: New developements of the PANDA Disc DIRC detector
Abstract content
The DIRC-principle (detection of internally reflected Cherenkov light) allows a very compact approach for particle identification detectors. The PANDA detector at the future FAIR facility at GSI will use a Barrel-DIRC for the central region and a Disc-DIRC for the forward angular region between 5 and 22 degrees.
It will be the first time, that a Disc-DIRC is used in a high performance 4π detector. To achieve this aim different designs and technologies have been evaluated. So far two prototypes have been built and were successfully tested during beam times at DESY and
CERN. Their results will be presented. An overview of the technical challenges and the evolution of various design options of the PANDA Disc DIRC detector is given and the capabilities of this novel detector concept will be highlighted.

Title: Energy response and temperature dependence of Ce:GAGG and
Pr:LuAG coupled to SiPM
Abstract content
Molecular imaging modalities require sensor systems capable of detecting and identifying gamma rays emitted by radio-tracers as well as providing the complete position information. The combination of dense, new scintillator materials with compact photon detector solutions insensitive to magnetic fields provides a promising prospect to meet the requirements in modern combined molecular imaging modalities. The energy response and temperature dependence of both, the scintillator and photon sensor has been studied for two scintillator materials, Pr:LuAG and Ce:GAGG coupled to either a n-on-p or p-on-n type SiPM. The performance was compared to a CsI crystal coupled to a conventional small vacuum based photon sensor.
Summary
We studied new combinations of inorganic scintillators and SiPM in comparison to more established technologies to evaluate their suitability for nuclear imaging modalities in medicine.

Title: Calibration System with Notched Fibres
Abstract content
Modern detectors with significantly increasing number of active channels require new approach for calibration. The calibration system on the first prototype of the AHCAL in CALICE used one optical fibre for each of 7608 channels to distribute calibration light to tiles with SiPM. As the proposed analogue hadronic calorimeter for ILC should have around 10^6 channels, the former system is inapplicable due to spatial requirements and manufacture difficulties. Now two ways of light distribution are considered. The first one is focused on the implementation of one LED placed directly on PCB for each SiPM channel. The second one is focused on a simplified fibre distribution system using one fibre with taps for more channels. It uses so called notched fibre and will be presented here. The system allows to calibrate one row of 72 scintillation tiles read by SiPMs using one driver with one LED and three subsequent notched fibres. We will present principals, parameters of current system and requirements for future development to allow reliable manufacturing. Benefits and drawbacks of notched fibre system with a comparison to the system with embedded LED for each SiPM channel is also discussed.
Further we report on latest version of the electronics for calibration and monitoring system developed for single UV-LED. The system is based on original fast (3 ns pulsewidth) and precise LED driver called QMB. Due to its high dynamic range of precise a few nanosecond pulses it is flexible to all necessary monitoring and calibration task for SiPM like detectors.

Title: Hadronic interactions in the CALICE Si-W ECAL
Abstract content
The physics goals of future lepton colliders ask for a very precise measurement of the jet energy. Highly granular calorimeters will play an important part in achieving this high precision as they allow the application of Particle Flow Algorithms. These calorimeters are being developed by the CALICE collaboration and several prototypes have already been build and tested.
The optimization of PFA is supported best if hadronic interactions are well modeled in Monte Carlo simulations. The development and improvement of such hadronic shower models relies on detailed reference data which these prototypes can provide.
We have studied interactions of negatively charged pions in the highly granular CALICE silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter (Si-W ECAL) prototype in the energy range of 2 to 10 GeV and compared various global hadronic shower observables to different Monte Carlo models in the simulation toolkit Geant4.
The Si-W ECAL is very sensitive to the start of the hadronic shower and we have developed an algorithm optimised to find interactions at small hadron energies and can identify the interaction point with an accuracy of ± 2 layers at an efficiency of at least 50% at 2 GeV and at least 80% at 10 GeV.
The efficient detection of the shower starting point and shape will improve the performance of Particle Flow Algorithms. The algorithms aim to reconstruct each particle in the optimal subdetector and therefore gain in performance with an improved shower recognition and separation. We are applying advanced machine learning algorithms to improve the detection and separation efficiency.

Title: R&D of water-based liquid scintillator as a reactor anti-
neutrino detector
Abstract content
Neutrino energy measurement is very important not only for a neutrino oscillation experiment but for a nuclear reactor monitor requested by IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) as one of their safeguards against misuse of nuclear technology and nuclear materials. The requirements for the reactor monitor are to be nonflammable and nonvolatile. As such a detector, we are developping a water-based liquid scintillator.
One of the problems of a water-based scintillator is that
it is difficult to get enough light yield bucause most of the known luminescent agents are difficult to dissolve in water. We tried to dissolve a liminescent agent in water with sevarel surfactants and measured the light yield varying concentrations of the liminescent agent and surfactants. The scintillators are contained in a vial (4cm diameter and 6cm height) and the light yield is measured using compton edge electrons by gamma-rays from a cobalt 60. We used a blue LED for light yield calibration. As one of the results, we got about 30 photo-electrons for a scintillator consisting of water, PPO (luminescent agent), Bis-MSB (wavelength shifter), and sodium dodecylsulfate (surfactant).
Neutrino interactions are identified by a well-known coincidence of a prompt positron signal followed by a delayed neutron capture by
gadlinium. In addition to the light yield measurement described previously, we will report about development of the gadlinium-loaded water-based liquid scintillator.

Title: The MINOS micromegas-TPC vertex tracker for in-beam
spectroscopy of very exotic nuclei
Abstract content
CEA-Irfu developed a new device, called MINOS (MagIc Numbers Off Stability), to improve both the luminosity and the sensitivity of proton-induced knockout reactions experiments performing in-beam spectroscopy of very exotic nuclei produced at fragmentation facilities (such as RIBF at RIKEN in Japan and FAIR in Germany). Its innovative approach is that it uses a compact annular 300 mm long Time Projection Chamber (TPC) surrounding a thick cylindrical liquid hydrogen target. The TPC reconstructs the recoiled proton tracks in order to locate the interaction vertex inside the target, allowing a proper Doppler correction to emitted gamma rays measured in a dedicated detector. A bulk-micromegas, segmented in 4608x2 mm2 pads, is used to readout the TPC which is filled with an Argon-iC4H10(3%)-CF4(15%) gas mixture. The electronics is composed of 20 analog front-end cards. Each of these is read out by a newly designed digital board, called the Feminos, which is compatible with the AFTER and AGET chips. The internal and external TPC field cages are made of 2 mm thick Rohacell cylinders on which are glued 50 microns thick Kapton foils printed with 381 copper strips. The MINOS device will be described, with a focus on the design choices and performances of the TPC characterized in laboratory with cosmic rays. We will report on the recent full in-beam validation of the TPC at HIMAC (Japan) where a better than 4 mm vertex resolution was obtained with a 180 and 350 Mev/u 20Ne ion-beam impinging on 0.5 mm thick CH2 and C targets.

Title: Frontend Electronics for high-precision single photo-electron
timing
Abstract content
High-precision single photon timing with resolutions well below 100 ps is becoming increasingly important. It enables new detector designs, like the Time-of-Propagation DIRC of Belle II, or the TORCH upgrade for LHCb, and to improve existing designs, e.g. allow chromatic corrections in DIRCs. These applications have in common a high channel density, limited available space and low power consumption.
We report on Frontend Electronics developed for the PANDA Barrel DIRC. The customised design utilises high-bandwidth pre-amplifiers and fast discriminators providing LVDS output signals which can be directly fed into the TRBv3 readout using FPGA-TDCs with a precision better than 20ps RMS. The discriminators also provide Time-over-Threshold (ToT) information which can be used for walk corrections thus improving the obtainable timing resolution.
Two types of cards, optimised for reading out 64-channel Photonis Planacon MCP-PMTs, were tested: one based on the NINO ASIC and the other, called PADIWA, on FPGA-based discriminators. Both types feature 16 channels per card, thus requiring four cards to read out one 64-channel MCP-PMT. Power consumption for the complete readout of one Planacon MCP-PMT is approx. 10W for the NINO FEE and approx. 5W for the PADIWA FEE.
The timing performance of the cards was tested with a fast laser system and also in a test experiment at the MAMI accelerator in Mainz using a small DIRC prototype to image Cherenkov patterns.
In both cases, using the ToT information, a timing resolution of better than 100ps was found for the complete readout chain.

Title: Performance evaluation of new photodetectors for Hyper-
Kamiokande
Abstract content
We have been developing new photodetectors for the Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) detector, which is proposed as a next generation Megaton class water Cherenkov detector.
There are three candidate photodetectors; One is a 20-inch venetian blind dynode type PMT (R3600) which is used in Super-Kamiokande. Second is a newly developed box and line dynode type PMT which has a better collection efficiency and timing response than R3600. The other one, a large-aperture Hybrid Photo-Detector (HPD), is also newly developed and uses an avalanche diode instead of dynodes to multiply photoelectrons. Compared to PMT, the HPD has a simpler structure, better collection efficiency, better timing response, and better single photoelectron charge resolution.
A high quantum efficiency (QE) is a common option for the three candidates and it was applied for the R3600 at first. The high-QE R3600 has 30 % QE at maximum peak, 1.4 times higher than that of the R3600 used in Super-Kamiokande.
In order to evaluate the performance and usability of the candidate photodetectors, we perform a long-term test with a 200-ton water Cherenkov detector located in Kamioka mine. The progress of the long-term test of 8-inch HPDs and high-QE R3600s will be reported. The status of R & D of the 20-inch box & line PMTs and 20-inch HPDs will be also presented. We plan to choose the photodetectors for Hyper-K in 2016.
