[Tipp2014] TIPP 2014 abstract evaluation update
by Jan Visser 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Dear Katsuo and Brian, The abstract submission will be closed tomorrow, Friday February 28 and we would like to give you some further information to complete the rating of all abstracts. We expect to have in your session 20 talks of 20 min, but we will only finalise this number after all abstracts have been rated. It is possible that we will increase the number of slots in your session as there is still room in the overall programme. Therefore, we ask you to propose for talks all the abstracts that meet your requirements for a talk, as we can always reward a poster presentation to the ones we cannot accept as a talk. Ideally, we would like to receive a ranking list to facilitate the assignment of the exact number of talks to each track. We would appreciate if you could complete the rating by Wednesday March 12. Thanks in advance for your kind cooperation, looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam, Jan Visser on behalf of the local organising committee

[Tipp2014] Abstract submission
by Graf, Norman A. 01 Mar '14

Hello, I was trying to submit my TIPP abstracts today to the indico site and ran into difficulties. I didn't realize it was due to browser incompatibilities until just a little while ago. By the time I had figured that out and was submitting my abstracts the deadline expired. It's my fault for waiting until the last minute, but there it is. I'm hoping you will grant me a time-zone exemption (it's still the afternoon here at SLAC) and consider the attached abstracts. Another unexpected issue was which track to submit to. In the past, software has been an accepted track which has been considered as very useful for instrumentation development, in particular simulation software. The software which we have developed is very flexible, easy to install and use, and useful in both large experiments as well as in individual detector simulations. I appreciate your consideration of the attached abstracts. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. Enjoy the weekend. Sincerely, Norman Graf

[Tipp2014] Problems Submitting an Abstract
by Matthew Wetstein 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

Hello, I had a long day and was unable to start submitting abstracts till 4pm my time (11pm, Amsterdam). What I had not anticipated was how long it would take to manually enter all of the relevant email addresses for the co-authors. I began submitting an abstract for the ANNIE experiment by 4:30. We have 25 people on the author list, so it took me nearly a half hour of copy-pasting email addresses. I finished 3 minutes after midnight, your time, and was not permitted by the system to complete the submission. If it is at all possible, I would still like to submit it. I'm glad to fill out the form again if there is some way to make that possible. I have also included said abstract inline, below this email. Please let me know how I should proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best, Matt I. Anghel1,4, J. F. Beacom6, M. Bergevin7, G. Davies4, F. Di Lodovico12, A. Elagin10, H. Frisch10, R. Hill10, G. Jocher5, T. Katori12, J.

Yeh2 The Atmospheric Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment Neutron tagging in Gadolinium-doped water may play a significant role in reducing backgrounds from atmospheric neutrinos in next generation proton-decay searches using megaton-scale Water Cherenkov detectors. Similar techniques might also be useful in the detection of supernova neutrinos. Accurate determination of neutron tagging efficiencies will require a detailed understanding of the number of neutrons produced by neutrino interactions in water as a function of momentum transferred. We are developing a proposal for an experiment to be built on the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam, the Atmospheric Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE), which is designed to measure the neutron yield of atmospheric neutrino interactions in gadolinium-doped water. An innovative aspect of the ANNIE design is the use of precision timing to localize interaction vertices in the small fiducial volume of the detector. We propose to achieve this by using early production of LAPPDs (Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors). This experiment will be a first application of these devices demonstrating their feasibility for Water Cherenkov neutrino detectors. In this talk we will discuss the technological aspects of the ANNIE detector, with particular emphasis on work involved in adapting LAPPDs for the measurement. 1Argonne National Laboratory; Lemont, IL 60439, USA 2Brookhaven National Laboratory; Upton, NY 11973, USA 3Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory; Batavia, IL 60510, USA 4Iowa State University; Ames IA 50011, USA 5National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency; Springfield VA 22150, USA 6Ohio State University; Columbus OH 43210, USA 7University of California at Davis; Davis CA 95817, USA 8University of California at Irvine; Irvine CA 92697, USA 9University of California at Los Angeles; Los Angeles, CA 90024, USA 10University of Chicago, Enrico Fermi Institute; Chicago IL 60637, USA 11University of Hawaii; Honolulu, HI 96822, USA 12Queen Mary University of London; London E14NS, UK

See below a detailed summary of your submitted abstract: Conference: Tipp 2014 - Third International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics Submitted by: Submitted on: 28 February 2014 22:47 Title: Development of LBNE Photon Detector Front End Electronics Abstract content The LBNE (Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment) is the next generation accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment planned in US. The experiment will use a new muon-neutrino beam sent from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and will detect electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance using a Liquid Argon TPC located at a distance of 1300 km at Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. The primary physics goal of the LBNE is a definitive determination the neutrino mass hierarchy, determination the octant of the neutrino mixing angle theta-23, and precise measurement of CP violation in neutrino oscillation. Neutrino interaction in LAr result in charged particles producing ionization and scintillation light signals. Dedicated photon detection (PD) system is under design for use in the LBNE LArTPC far detectors. The PD is designed to capture ultraviolet scintillation light that occurs when excited atoms in the liquid argon decay back to the ground state. These photons have a wavelength of 128 nm. Two processes contribute to producing “prompt” (decay constant ~ 6ns) and “late” (decay constant ~1.6μs) light components. By measuring the time of arrival of the photons, as well as the pulse height, the PD system can provide a "time zero" reference for the reconstruction of the event, as well as help identify the spatial coordinates of the event by triangulating between different photon detector elements in the detector. In addition the detection of scintillation light may be used as a trigger for the TPC. Measurement of the “late” light that arises from triplet states, which can be useful as a particle identification tool. The PD system must shift the wavelength of the scintillation light in order to use affordable photo-detectors. The baseline design couples wavelength-shifter coated ultraviolet transmitting acrylic to 3 mm2 silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs). By detecting scintillation light we aim to improve event reconstruction capabilities and efficiently separate neutrino events from background. The signal out of the SiPMs is a charge or current pulse. The PD electronics must receive the SiPM signal, and digitize it to measure the time of arrival and also the pulse height. The SiPM response is quantized to measure integer number of photo-electrons, which is then used in the determination of the spatial location of the event. This presentation will describe requirements, implementation, and tested performance of the prototype front-end electronics to be used in PD system in LArTPC of LBNE.

An important capability of these photosensors is in precision measurements of arrival times and positions of single photons. Prototype LAPPD systems have demonstrated the best combination of time resolution and area coverage of any existing photosensor technology, providing better than 50 picosecond single-photoelectron time resolutions over an 87-88% active area covering 400 cm^2. LAPPDs are also imaging phototubes, able to measure the positions of photon hits with sub-centimeter precision within a single tube. In this talk we will discuss work by the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory characterizing the single photo-electron response of LAPPD detector systems using a sub-picosecond pulsed Ti:Sapphire laser. The analog response of our test LAPPD system is characterized via readout by a digital oscilloscopes or by the 60 channel, 1.5 GHz, 10 Gsample/second front-end system developed by the University of Chicago for the project.

The CCC contains alternating field wires and anode (sense) wires, and the wire plane is asymmetric with respect to two parallel planes, being as close as 1.5mm typically to one of the planes for 2mm wire spacing. We have shown that this arrangement minimizes the dependence of the avalanche gain on detector wall planarity [1], and specifically, insensitivity to corresponding mechanical distortions or internal overpressure (causing bulging). Such feature allows one to build CCC chambers with small overall material budget, avoiding also the thick frames typical for MWPC-s. Careful studies confirmed that signal formation and position resolution correspond to that in classical MWPC-s. The dead zones created by internal support structures have been evaluated [2]. CCC detectors have found application in a portable cosmic muon tracking system [3],[4], proving their mechanical and operational stability under hars and varying environmental conditions. [1] D.

The key detector – Silicon Tracking System (STS) – will reconstruct charged particle tracks created in interactions of heavy-ion beam with nuclear target at typical projectile energies of 25 GeV/nucleon. Operation at 10 MHz interaction rate with charged particle multiplicities up to 1000 requires fast and radiation hard silicon sensors. The necessary momentum resolution of 1% imposes stringent requirements to the sensor material budget (0.3% X$_0$) and detector module structure. The STS will occupy the volume of about 1 m$^3$ defined by the aperture of a dipole magnet. It will consist of 8 tracking stations based on double-sided silicon microstrip detectors. The sensors with 58 $\mu m$ pitch, size up to $62 \times 62$ mm$^2$ and 1024 strips per side have AC-coupled strips oriented at $\pm$7.5° stereo angle. Short corner strips on the opposite edges of the sensors are interconnected via second metallization layer thus avoiding insensitive areas. Complicated design and large number of silicon sensors needed for the construction of the STS (about 1300) require a set of quality assurance procedures that involve optical inspection, electric characterization and readout tests. We report about development of optical inspection system using NI LabVIEW software and Vision package for pattern recognition. The STS readout electronics with 2.1 million channels will dissipate about 40 kW of power. To cope with it, bi-phase CO2 evaporative cooling will be used. Performance of a test system will be presented.
