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

04 Mar '14

Beste Jeroen, 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 10 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] adding authors

03 Mar '14

Dear Tipp2014, I didn't type in all the authors for our abstract when I submitted it before the 1st deadline as it seemed so lengthy. I did, however, send mail at that time requesting some aid in adding them. I really would like to add them- I feel badly that they're not listed (it was just too much for me to enter all the information- I apologize). Would it be possible to open it so that now I can? I think it will be easier now, as almost all the names are probably already in the CERN db. I really need to do so- it's not proper for me to have only me and Elagin. I've attached the abstract with the names, and am copying it below as well. Many thanks, and apologies, Henry Abstract for TIPP2014 Version 1.0 Jan 28, 2014 The Frugal Tile: A 20-cm-square MCP-PMT Module Comprising 8 Glass Parts Andrey Elagin, Henry J. Frisch, Eric Oberla, Richard Northrop, Matthew Wetstein University of Chicago Bernhard Adams, Joseph Gregar, Jeffrey Elam, Anil Mane, Robert G. Wagner Argonne National Laboratory Michael Minot, Aileen O'Mahony Incom, Inc. Abstract ________ We present the design for the `Frugal Tile', an all-glass MCP-PMT with an active area of 400 square centimeters. The LAPPD glass tile module was designed to be simple, with: a) a hermetic package made of top and bottom plates and a rectangular sidewall, each made of water-jet-cut plate glass; b) an internal stack consisting of 2 glass capillary plates functionalized with Atomic Layer Deposition and 3 glass grid spacers made from waterjet-cut plate glass; and a getter assembly that drops into place. Features of the design are: no pins penetrating the envelope; c) an internal HV divider implemented by resistive coatings on the MCP's and spacers; d) RF-stripline anodes silkscreened on the bottom plate with an analog bandwidth above 1.5 GHz for good spatial and temporal resolution; e) mechanical rigidity provided by atmospheric pressure; and f) modular design for covering large areas. The tile is one component of a modular system in which an array of four tiles sits on a 1800-square-cm `Tray' section that contains the ground plane of the RF strip-lines and supports the waveform sampling and data-acquisition electronics that reads out the strips. -- Henry J.

See below a detailed summary of your submitted abstract: Conference: Tipp 2014 - Third International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics Submitted by: MUENSTERMANN, Daniel Submitted on: 03 March 2014 20:34 Title: Radiation-hard Active Pixel Sensors for HL-LHC Detector Upgrades based on HV/HR-CMOS Technology Abstract content We explore the concept of using deep-submicron HV-CMOS and imaging processes to produce a drop-in replacement for traditional radiation-hard silicon sensors. Unlike fully integrated monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS), such active sensors contain simple circuits, e.g. amplifiers and discriminators, but still require a readout chip - which can be a traditional strip or pixel readout chip or a tailor-made one without any analogue circuits. This approach yields most of the advantages of MAPS (improved resolution, reduced cost and material budget, etc.), without the complication of full integration on a single chip; in particular, high-speed clocked circuits necessary for trigger handling and efficient communication can be kept separated from the crosstalk-susceptible pre-amplifiers. The design of test ASICs produced in different processes, characterization results before and after irradiation and experience obtained with pixel and strip readout will be shown Finally, plans for further submissions with higher-resistivity substrates will be outlined and an outlook will be given on application options for HL-LHC detector upgrades. Summary Luminosity upgrades are discussed for the LHC which would make upgrades to the LHC detectors necessary, in particular new, even more radiation-hard and granular sensors for the inner detector region. Deep-submicron HV-CMOS processes feature moderate bulk resistivity and HV capability and are therefore good candidates for drift-based radiation-hard monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS). It is possible to apply up to ~100V of bias voltage leading to a depletion depth of ~10-20 µm. Thanks to the high electric field, charge collection is fast and nearly insensitive to radiation-induced trapping. Due to the still rather high dopant concentration, almost no radiation effect is expected to the depletion voltage. Imaging processes using high-resistivity substrates could provide significantly more signal charge thanks to larger depletion depths and are therefore also studied. We explore the concept of using such HV/HR-CMOS processes to produce a drop-in replacement for traditional radiation hard silicon sensors. Such active sensors contain only simple circuits to amplify and either discriminate or condition the basic pulses created by charged particles. A traditional readout chip is still needed to receive and organize the data from the active sensor and handle high-level functionality such as trigger management. The devices are tested with the ATLAS FE-I4 and Timepix pixel readout chips and the LHCb Beetle and ATLAS ABCN25 strip readout chips. Either strip-like or pixel-like readout can be selected on the same device. While a readout chip is still needed (unlike the case of an ideal monolithic MAPS device), the active sensor approach offers many advantages: such sensors can be fabricated in a fully commercial CMOS process without need for special substrates or processing and will therefore cost less than traditional diode sensors, they can be thinned to the limit of the collection layer resulting in much lower mass, they require relatively low bias voltage, and they can operate at room temperature or with only moderate cooling after irradiation. In addition, they can contain sub-pixels with smaller pitch than the readout chip and improve the spatial resolution compared to standard sensors by encoding the hit sub-pixels in the signal sent to the readout chip. >From a practical perspective, maintaining the traditional separation between sensing and processing functions lowers development cost and makes use of existing infrastructure. Active sensors can also be seen as a first step towards 3D-integrated electronics in which the analogue tier contains the sensor while the digital tier can contain only purely digital circuits. The number of required DC connections between the two tiers could be small while data transmission could be done using AC coupling hence reducing the complexity and required number of inter-chip connections. To explore the performance and radiation hardness of active sensors, so-called HV2FEI4 ASICs were produced in the AMS H18 process. Their (sub-)pixels of 33x125 µm size are combined to match the respective readout chip: for the pixel readout, three HV-CMOS pixels are multiplexed onto one FE-I4 pixel such that the hit pixels are encoded by the pulse height; the chips are just glued to each other, capacitive data transmission is used. In this way, the position resolution of the HV-CMOS sensor can be significantly better than the granularity of the readout chip suggests. For the strip readout, the pixel cells are combined to form virtual strips. Here, the z-position of the hit is encoded via the discriminator's pulse height and can be evaluated by analogue strip readout electronics like the Beetle chip. Future strip readout concepts foresee a digital encoding of the z position using a modified ATLAS readout chip (ABC'). To explore alternative processes, the chip concept was ported to a GlobalFoundries 130 nm HV-CMOS process and first prototypes have been characterised before and after irradiation. In addition, a submission on higher resistive substrates is currently being prepared. The presentation will give an overview of the characterization results of the prototype chips and highlight first results with irradiated and unirradiated samples in the laboratory and in beam tests. Finally, future prospects within the LHC upgrade and beyond will be discussed.

Although Nikhef’s primary focus is and will be curiosity driven research, pushing the boundaries of the fundamental knowledge, a key intangible societal gain. Nikhef also acknowledges the increased importance of more tangible societal impact, hence resulting in concrete (industrial) applicability (‘valorization’). There are several ways to transfer research results, usually a technology in which Nikhef has vested intellectual property rights (IPR): selling, licensing or become an ‘entrepreneur’. Since several years Nikhef has worked towards enabling this last route. Building further on FOM’s valorization policy and together with our partner, 1&12 Investment Partners, a holding company, called Particle Physics Inside Products (P2IP bv) has been established. P2IP is the legal entity from which Nikhef-FOM can participate in a subsidiary start-up. It has established a supervisory board that monitors its participations (currently three), assesses new opportunities and explores new activities. Recently our sister FOM-institute AMOLF joined P2IP. We will highlight the experiences so far with startup companies emanating from the Nikhef scientific programme. Some of them are not participations of P2IP. We will also sketch the environment of the Amsterdam Venture Lab in which these startup activities are embedded.

Abstract content Multigap resistive plate chambers have proven to be the best choice for time-of-flight systems of large experiments such as ALICE, STAR, PHENIX. In the MPD experiment aimed at the study of hot and dense baryonic matter it has been also decided to use MRPCs. To reduce the number of TOF system channels it is advisable to use readout from each end of a strip. Several different prototypes of detectors with different geometries and readout electronics have been tested. The tests of the MRPC prototypes at the Nuclotron deuteron beam demonstrate a time resolution of about 65 ps and an efficiency of 99.8%. This value meets the requirements of the MPD experiment.

We are undertaking an R&D project for the TORCH collaboration, a proposed LHCb upgrade, to develop a novel multi-anode Microchannel Plate detector, with $128 \times 8$ effective pixels in a $5.3 \times 5.3$ cm$^{2}$ active area each with 50 ps RMS timing resolution. The proposed design utilises charge sharing across multiple readout anodes to i) improve spatial resolution beyond the defined anode pitch, ii) provide a well-defined charge footprint for readout even in high magnetic fields and iii) reduce the impact of manufacturing issues when producing high-density multi-anode devices. Simulations of this hybrid multi-anode detector will be presented, covering the expected charge footprint on each readout anode and the impact of utilising charge sharing between anodes to improve the detector’s spatial resolution. This includes simulating the impact of the TORCH project current readout solution using the NINO amplifier/discriminator ASIC and the HPTDC, a 25 ps resolution time-to-digital converter.

The software toolkit provides a very rich library of basic geometrical shapes, often referred to as “primitives”, plus the ability to define compound geometries, making it capable of supporting extremely complex physical structures. Current versions of Geant4 fully and natively support an xml-based Geometry Description Markup Language (GDML) to define geometries. The ability to directly import CAD geometries into Geant4 is an often requested feature, despite the recognized limitations of the difficulty in accessing proprietary formats, the mismatch between level of detail in producing a part and simulating it, the often disparate approaches to parent-child relationships and the difficulty in maintaining or assigning material definitions to parts. The main impediment to the importation of CAD files into Geant4 has been their proprietary formats. Thanks to the proliferation of rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing processes, the surface tesselation language (STL) format is the industrial standard for handling triangulated meshes and is ubiquitous as an export format for both CAD and other 3D modelling software. In this talk, we present mesh2gdml, a solution which converts an STL file into a GDML file which can be imported directly into Geant4. We believe the approach outlined in this talk provides access to a wider range of geometry inputs and will prove to be useful to a number of user communities. Summary We present a pathway for importing CAD geometries into Geant4. This will enable the response of complex detector stuctures to particles to be simulated in a straightforward manner. No prior knowledge of or experience with C++ or Geant4 would be needed to conduct such studies, making it a perfect solution for small groups working on novel technologies, or those not associated with university groups or large experimental collaborations with such experience.
