Title: Segmented scintillators with SiPM readout for measuring
antiproton annihilations
Abstract content
The Atomic Spectroscopy and Collisions Using Slow Antiprotons (ASACUSA) experiment at the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) facility of CERN [1,2] recently constructed segmented scintillators to detect and track charged pions emerging from antiproton annihilations [3]. The detectors were designed to accompany a future superconducting radiofrequency Paul trap for antiprotons, but some of the modules were recently used to assist total cross section measurements of annihilation in-flight of slow antiprotons [4].
We arranged 541 bars of cast and extruded scintillators in 11 detector modules, which provided a spatial resolution of $\sim$17 mm. Green wavelength-shifting fibers were embedded in the scintillators, and read out on one side by silicon photomultipliers (Hamamatsu MPPC) with a sensitive area of $1\times 1$ mm$^2$.
The photoelectron yields of various scintillator configurations, with different fibers, silicon photomultipliers and fiber end terminations were measured using a negative pion beam of momentum $p\approx1$ GeV/c at the PS facility of CERN. The detectors were also tested using the antiproton beam of the AD. Nonlinear effects due to the saturation of the silicon photomultiplier were seen at high annihilation rates of the antiprotons.

Title: Planar silicon sensors for the CMS Tracker phase II upgrade
Abstract content
The CMS tracker collaboration is aiming to identify the best suited silicon materials and sensor thicknesses for future tracking detectors for the high luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). Therefore, a large material investigation and irradiation campaign was initiated.
A variety of silicon $p-in-n$ and $n-in-p$ test-sensors made from Float Zone (FZ), Magnetic Czochralski (MCz) and epitaxially grown (Epi) materials were manufactured in different sensor thicknesses by one single industrial producer (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.). The samples have been irradiated with 1 MeV neutrons, protons and subsequently with both particle types corresponding to fluences as expected for the positions of detector layers in the future tracker (up to $\Phi=10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$).
All materials have been characterized before and after irradiations, and throughout an annealing treatment.
The measurements performed on the structures include electrical sensor characterization, measurement of the collected charge injected with beta sources and laser light and bulk defect characterization. In this talk, latest results from the campaign are presented.

Title: Development and Evaluation of Event-Driven SOI Pixel Detector
for X-ray Astronomy
Abstract content
We have been developing a monolithic active pixel sensor with the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS technology for use in future X-ray astronomical satellite mission. Our objective is to replace the X-ray Charge Coupled Device (CCD), which is the standard detector in the field, by offering high coincidence time resolution (∼ 50 ns), superior hit-position readout time (∼ 10 μs), and wider bandpass (0.3 – 40 keV) in addition to having comparable performances in imaging spectroscopy. In order to realize this detector, we have developed prototype detectors, called “XRPIX” series. XRPIX contains comparator circuit in each pixel to detect an X-ray photon injection; it offers intra-pixel hit trigger (timing) and two-dimensional hit-pattern (position) outputs. Therefore, XRPIX is capable of direct access to selected pixels to read out the signal amplitude. X-ray readout by this function is called “Event-Driven readout”.
In our previous study, we successfully demonstrated the acquisition of X-ray spectra in Event-Driven readout. However, it has some problems in operation of a circuit. Recently, we understood the cause by investigating operation of XRPIX in detail. Moreover, we designed a new prototype which has charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) in each pixel in order to increase the gain and improve energy resolution. Then, the readout noise is 33 e- rms and the energy resolution is about 300 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV. In this presentation, we report on the development and evaluation of XRPIX about Event-Driven readout.

Title: Development of high-rate RPCs
Abstract content
Traditionally RPCs use either Bakelite or glass as resistive plates.
Compared with other Micro-pattern gas detectors, RPCs are known to
suffer from rate limitations. The rate capability of the devices is
defined by the signal size, bulk resistivity of the resistive electrode
and the thickness of the electrode. We report on efforts to develop
low-resistivity Bakelite and glass, as well as efforts to develop a
new electrode material that has very thin effective thickness. We will
present first results from tests of high-rate RPCs performed at the
GIF facility at CERN, the Fermilab test beam facility and elsewhere.

Abstract content
We report the development of a VCSEL driver based on a commercial 0.25-micron silicon-on-sapphire CMOS technology. The driver is designed with a speed of 8 Gb/s with I2C configuration. The QFN packaged prototype measures up to 10 Gb/s in a miniature dual channel optical transmitter module called MTx. The ASIC and the custom MTx are prototypes for an optical link that is under development to read out the front-end board in the trigger upgrade of the Liquid Argon Calorimeter (LAr) in ATLAS. We will present design details, prototype measurement results including those from irradiation tests. We will also discuss the experience on the QFN package for high-speed signals.

We report an ASIC development based on a commercial 0.25-micron silicon-on-sapphire CMOS technology. This ASIC is a dual channel serializer sharing one LC-PLL with 8 Gb/s each channel and a total data throughput of 16 Gb/s for each chip. The prototype packaged in QFN is measured from 7.2 to 8.5 Gb/s each channel, limited by the tuning range of the PLL. This design is for an optical link that is under development to read out the front-end board in the trigger upgrade of the Liquid Argon Calorimeter (LAr) in ATLAS. We will present design details and prototype measurement results. We will also discuss the experience on the QFN package for high-speed signals.

Title: An FPGA-based full mesh enabled ATCA general purpose processor
board
Abstract content
The Pulsar II is an FPGA-based full mesh enabled ATCA general purpose processor board, its design is motivated by the silicon-based tracking trigger needs for LHC experiments. Some of the main challenges of silicon-based tracking trigger are the complex data dispatching and the pattern recognition and track fitting. Data dispatching is where the hits from many thousands silicon modules must be organized and delivered to the appropriate eta-phi trigger towers. Since the efficient data dispatching for time and regional multiplexing requires high bandwidth, low latency, and flexible real time communication among processing nodes, a full mesh backplane based hardware platform is a natural fit. An FPGA-based full mesh enabled ATCA board called Pulsar II has been designed at Fermilab with the goal of creating a scalable architecture abundant in flexible, non-blocking, high bandwidth board-to-board communication channels. In addition, user-defined mezzanine cards can be designed for Pulsar II, and can be used either for data communication or as pattern recognition engine. In this talk we describe the relevant silicon based tracking trigger needs, our Pulsar 2 design and test methodology, prototype performance results and experience gained in the process.

Title: Development of a Drift Chamber Detector for Large Area
Applications of Muon Tomography
Abstract content
Cosmic ray muon tomography is a novel three-dimensional imaging technique able to image objects in dense or cluttered containers. The technique’s ability to discriminate differing materials relies on the multiple Coulomb scattering of cosmic ray muons and as such depends strongly on the tracking resolution of the detector module. Similarly other detector properties have a strong effect of the technique’s attractiveness for various applications: Due to the rate of background cosmic ray muons, timely imaging is only made possible by high detector efficiencies, large tracking solid angles and minimising dead areas; a low-cost, scalable, and easy-to-construct detector are also desirable properties, particularly for applications requiring large detector areas. We report on the development of a simplified single wire drift chamber for large area applications aiming to realise these benefits. Particularly we describe developments aimed at facilitating an easy-to-construct detector and reducing the overall cost of a future system. Performance studies of single and few-detector stack systems are reported including gas, resolution and efficiency studies. Then our considerations of a proposed design for a prototype detector module are also discussed.

Title: Detection System for the UCNB and Nab Experiments
Abstract content
The development of the detection system using novel 2 mm thick, large area, thin deadlayer, highly segmented silicon detectors represents a joint effort of the UCNB and Nab collaborations, which will measure the neutrino asymmetry "B", and the electron-neutrino angular correlation "a" and Fierz interference term "b", respectively, in neutron beta decay. The detectors are operated in high magnetic field of 1 T and the entire detection system is biased up to -30 kV. One of the major challenges of the experiment is the development of front-end electronics which can achieve very low noise (2 keV resolution) and fast timing (<10 ns) for 128 instrumented channels for each silicon detector in order to resolve the proton signal and differentiate backscattered electrons. Several waveform digitization systems have been investigated, including digitizers developed by CAEN, XIA, and National Instruments, as well as custom designed digitizer boards and firmware. In this presentation, we will highlight lessons learned for the implementation of a low-noise system for 24 channels, discuss the development of the various data acquisition systems, and outline the path forward to 128 instrumented pixels.
