Additionally, the front-end electronics sums analog signals to provide coarse-grained energy sums to the first-level (L1) trigger system. The current design was optimized for the nominal LHC luminosity of 10$^{34}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. However, in future higher-luminosity phases of LHC operation, the luminosity (and associated pile-up noise) will be 3-7 times higher. An improved spatial granularity of the trigger primitives is therefore proposed, in order to improve the trigger performance at high background rejection rates. For the first upgrade phase in 2018, new LAr Trigger Digitizer Boards are being designed to receive the higher granularity signals, digitize them on-detector and send them via fast optical links to a new digital processing system (DPS). This applies digital filtering and identifies significant energy depositions in each trigger channel. The refined trigger primitives are transmitted to the L1 system, allowing extraction of improved trigger signatures. This talk will present the concept for the upgraded readout and describe the components being developed for the new system. R&D activities as well as architectural and performance studies will be described, as will details of the on-going design of mixed-signal front-end ASICs, radiation tolerant optical-links, and the high-speed FPGA-based DPS units. These studies also guide the way towards the second upgrade phase, in which all LAr Calorimeter read-out electronics must be replaced due to radiation damage, ageing, and a new ATLAS trigger scheme.

The electromagnetic calorimeters use lead as passive material and are characterized by an accordion geometry that allows a fast and uniform response without azimuthal gaps. Copper and tungsten were chosen as passive material for the hadronic calorimetry; while a classic parallel-plate geometry was adopted at large polar angles, an innovative design based on cylindrical electrodes with thin liquid argon gaps is employed for the coverage at low angles, where the particle flux is higher. All detectors are housed in three cryostats maintained at about 88.5K. The approximately 200,000 cells are read out via front-end boards housed in on-detector crates that also contain calibration, trigger and timing boards. The talk will focus on the design and performance of the detector during the first three years of LHC operation, during which approximately 27 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collision data were collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7-8 TeV. Throughout this period, the calorimeter consistently operated with performances very close to specifications, with a data-taking efficiency greater than 99% in 2012. The high efficiency is in part due to sophisticated data monitoring infrastructure designed to quickly identify issues that would degrade the detector performance, to ensure that only the best quality data are used for physics analysis.

The atom has been conjectured to explain the apparent metastability of $\pi^-$ observed in liquid helium bubble chambers in the 1960's [3-6]. The atoms are believed to retain nanosecond-scale lifetimes against $\pi^-$ absorption in the helium nucleus. The new PiHe collaboration of Paul Scherrer Institute attempts to carry out laser spectroscopy of this atom. By measuring the transition frequencies of this atom, and comparing the results with three-body QED calculations, the $\pi^-$ mass can in principle be determined to high precision [7], as was done recently for antiprotonic helium atoms [8]. In this poster, we describe the status of the experimental setup and laser systems that will be used in this experiment. The method for resolving the laser resonance transition relies on detecting the nuclear fragments that emerge from the experimental target when the laser is in resonance with the atom. [1] G.T.

See below a detailed summary of your submitted abstract: Conference: Tipp 2014 - Third International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics Submitted by: MACHEFERT, Frederic Submitted on: 25 February 2014 13:45 Title: Upgrade of the LHCb calorimeters Abstract content The LHCb collaboration foresees a major upgrade of the detector for the high luminosity run that will take place after the LS2 shut-down. Apart from the increase of the instantaneous luminosity at the interaction point of the experiment, one of the major ingredients of this upgrade is a full readout at 40MHz of the sub-detectors and the acquisition of the data by a large farm of PC. The trigger will be done by this farm and should increase the overall trigger efficiency with respect to the current detector, especially in hadronic B meson decays. A general overview of the modifications foreseen to the calorimeter system, concerning the geometry, the electronics, the reconstruction and the monitoring will be given. The expected performances will be described and the integration of the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters in the new upgraded scheme will be presented. Summary The LHCb detector is located on the ring of the LHC accelerator at CERN. The fields of research of the collaboration are CP violation, charm physics and rare decays of the B meson. More than $3\rm{fb}^{-1}$ have been recorded since the LHC start-up, mainly in 2011 and 2012. The data quality permitted to make important measurements. The $B_s$ meson decay in a pair of muons and other new decays of the $B_s$ have been observed, the $B_c$ mass has been measured with the best precision ever, etc\ldots The performances of the detector are very satisfactory although the beam conditions have been far more aggressive than what was foreseen during the design period. The pile-up was roughly 1.7 in 2012, in spite of the expected nominal conditions foreseen to be 0.4 during the installation of the detector. The confidence of the collaboration in the detector justified those conditions, the gain in statistics being larger than the relative degradation of the data quality due to the higher number of collisions per crossing. Since a few years, the upgrade of the LHCb detector is being prepared in order to improve the measurements in major areas of flavor physics and to reach ultimately the theoretical uncertainties in several fields. The upgrade will take place during the long shut-down LS2 and will permit to increase the instantaneous luminosity up to $2 \times 10^{33}\rm{cm}^{-1}.\rm{s}^{-1}$. All the sub-detectors are affected by this upgrade. The pile-up leads to some drastic modifications of the tracking and particle identification systems. But, the most important modification concerns the first hardware trigger (L0) which will be removed. A pure software trigger, more efficient and more flexible, will remain. The suppression of the L0 implies that each sub-detector sends its data at 40MHz to the computer farm on which the trigger program is running. Estimations of the impact of the software trigger (not considering the increase of luminosity) show that the event yield should be more than doubled in B meson hadronic decays (the improvement could be larger for high multiplicity final states with up to 6 charged particles), after the suppression of the present hardware trigger. The first level trigger will disappear, but part of its electronics can be re-used and adapted in order to reduce the bandwidth at the input of the PC farm. The purpose here is not to limit the bandwidth systematically at a fixed rate like the L0 does, but to reduce the bandwidth between 1 and 40 MHz, depending on the needs and altogether to enrich the sample. The reasons for such a Low Level Trigger (LLT) are a possible stagging of the size of the PC farm at LHC start-up or an occasional problem on the farm. The calorimeter system of LHCb will evolve by reducing its complexity, the present scintillating pad detector and the preshower will be removed, their disappearance being compensated by the future software trigger and the improved tracking system. The module performances will be affected by radiations. Irradiation tests have been done either in beam or by putting modules in the LHC tunnel for several years. The results of those measurements will be presented. Some of the cells in the inner region (the closest to the beam pipe) will most probably be replaced during LS3. The calorimeter of LHCb, like the other sub-detectors must adapt its electronics (common to the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters) to the new running conditions of the upgrade. The consequences of the upgrade for the electronics are: the readout of the data is done at 40MHz; the gain of the PMT is reduced by a factor 5 in order to keep them alive during the high luminosity run, this reduction is compensated by an increase of the gain of the electronics (without increase of the noise with respect to the present system); the calorimeter implementation of the first level trigger is adapted to the new low level trigger. This implies the design of a new front-end electronics. A fraction of the existing system will be kept: the crates, the backplanes, some of the power supplies. The front-end and control boards will be removed and the architecture will be revised. The architecture will consists in acquiring 32 PMT per front-end board. The analog electronics should be made either from on an ASIC component or a system based on "commercial-off-the-shelf" (COTS) components. The shaping and integration of the signal in the two concurrent techniques are very different but give comparable performances. After the sampling of the output of the analog part of the front-end electronics, FPGA will be used to perform several operations : baseline subtraction, calibration of the signal for the low level trigger, event building, \ldots The output bandwidth of each front-end board will reach 20 Gbits/s. 5 Optical links driven by GBT components, designed at CERN, are used: 4 for the data acquisition path and 1 to send the low level trigger information to the counting room. A front-end crate will contain up to 16 boards, the middle slot of each crate being filled by a control board. This card receives from the counting room the clock, the slow control signals and the fast (synchronous) commands of the experiment and propagates them to the backplane and finally to the front-end boards. The control board will receive or emit the signals (slow control, commands, clock) through a bi-directional link based on the GBT system. One of the particularity of the calorimeter electronics is its location: on the gentry which is just above the calorimeter itself. Radiation levels in this region are high and extra safety precautions are essential to protect the electronics against the cumulated dose and the single event effects. Commercial components should be tested in beam in order to guarantee their usage in such conditions; the ASIC is designed with specific conception techniques; flash-based FPGA will be used in the digital part of the electronics, etc\ldots Prototypes for the analog part (both ASIC and COTS) and the digital part exist. They have been tested with a spare ECAL module at CERN in an electron beam. The performances obtained from the data are close to the expected ones and a few modifications are foreseen in order to obtain a fully satisfactory design. Peripheral systems permit to follow continuously the performances or to control the functioning of the calorimeter. These include the electronics providing high-voltage to the photo-multipliers, the pulsing system for the LED or the radioactive source based calibration of the hadronic calorimeter. A fraction of it can be kept as is or simply adapted in order to be able to receive (like the new control board described above) its slow control or clock signals and commands from the LHCb time and fast control system, through the GBT driven optical links.

The upgrade of the experiment (MEG-II) is planned to improve the sensitivity by another order of magnitude with a higher beam intensity and improved detector performance. The pixelated timing counter to precisely measure the positron time consists of several hundreds of small counters, each of which is a plastic scintillator plate readout by several SiPMs at both ends. The SiPMs at each end are connected in series to reduce the sensor capacitance and thus to make the waveform sharper for a better time resolution. In the pixelated timing counter, the signal positron will pass through several counters. A proper averaging of the measured positron times over the several hit counters will give an overall time resolution much better than the single counter resolution. The overall time resolution is expected to be 30-35ps, which is almost twice better than that of the present timing counter. The pixelated configuration will also help to suppress the pileup under the high rate environment in MEG-II. The status and prospects of the R&D studies on this new timing counter are presented. We optimized the configuration of the single counter and obtained a resolution of 50-70ps (RMS) for the single counter. The beam test result with several counters will be also discussed. We obtained the expected good resolution with 8 counters.

It is crucial for verifying ATF2’s Goal 1 of focusing σy* down to 37 nm in order to verify a final focus system of linear colliders featuring the Local Chromaticity Correction scheme. The e- beam collides with a target of laser interference fringes, and σy* is derived from the modulation depth of the resulting Compton signal photons measured by a downstream gamma detector. Shintake Monitor is the only existing device capable of measuring σy* as small as 25 nm, and can accommodates a wide range of σy* from 20 nm to a few μm with better than 10% accuracy by switching between several laser crossing angle modes. Major hardware upgrades contributed to suppressing errors and the demonstration of measurement stability of 5 - 10%. In 2013, continuous measurement of the smallest ever σy* of below 65 nm has been achieved. Analysis of systematic errors indicates the possibility that smaller beam sizes have been achieved. This paper describes the monitor’s design concepts and performance, and an extensive study of errors with the aim of high precision in measuring the even smaller σy* anticipated to be achieved at ATF2 in near future.

An MKID is a type of superconducting detectors. Cooper-pair breaking caused by deposited energy changes the kinetic inductance of the superconductor. Consisting of LC resonators formed by a thin superconducting metal layer, it detects the energy by sensing the change of the inductance. By using the MKIDs we can readout the detectors with frequency-domain multiplexing. Since the bound energy of Cooper-pairs is order of milli-electron volt and the detectors are operated at low temperature of less than 1K, MKIDs have high energy resolutions and low noise levels. The highly sensitive detectors can be applied to measurements that require the detection of very week signals, for instance dark matter search. We are developing MKIDs that are formed with the combination of two metal layers of Al and Nb. By using two superconducting metal layers, we can confine the quasi-particles in a certain region due to the difference of the energy gaps and expect an increase of the sensitivity. We have developed Nb/Al MKIDs for the detections of photons and phonons. For the former, we aim to apply the MKIDs to a He scintillation detector for a search of light dark matter with liquid He TPC. The latter would be applied not only to the dark matter search but also to X-ray detections with the high energy resolution and a high acceptance for future material science.
