The need for this sensitivity places several stringent requirements on the detector development. The experiment requires to detect the monochromatic electron of 105 MeV, $ie$. the momentum resolution is primarily limited by the multiple scattering effects. And also, high power proton driver is suitable to accumulate an enough statistics, $ie$. high rate capability is necessary. Thus we need the very light material detector which should be operational with high intensity beam in order to achieve an excellent momentum resolution, better than 200 keV/$c$, and to accumulate an enough statistics, muon rates of 5 MHz. In order to fulfill such requirements, we decided to develop the straw-base planar tracker which should be operational in the vacuum and should be made by extremely light material. The COMET straw tracker consists of 10 mm diameter tube, longer than 1 m length, with 20 $\mu$m thickness Mylar foil and 70 nm aluminum deposition, even thinner material down to 12 $\mu$m thickness is under development by the ultrasonic welding technique. In this presentation, the development of COMET straw tracker is described including the prospect of final detector construction.

The actual problem is to study multi-bunch beam instabilities. To solve this problem a high-speed electron beam profile monitor is developed. This device includes a photodetector unit and signal recorder. The photodetector unit is bult on a photodiode strip consisting of 16 integrated avalanche photodiodes. Electric pulses from the photodiodes are fed to inputs of analog integrators. The integrator is designed for input pulse repetition rate of 200 MHz. The 16-channel signal recorder fixes the integrals values, performs their 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion and buffering in the internal 3 Gb memory. The accumulated data is transferred via Ethernet 100BASE-T. The device described must continuously implement 15625000 measurements of the vertical or horizontal electron beam profile at 16 points with a time resolution of 5 ns. Summary The electron beam quality determines the main synchrotron radiation characteristics therefore beam diagnostics is of great importance for synchrotron radiation source performance. The real-time processing of the electron beam parameters is a necessary procedure to optimize the key characteristics of the source using feedback loops. The frequency of electron beam turning in the synchrotron storage ring is about 1 MHz. In multi-bunch mode electrons are grouped into a series of bunches. The bunch repetition frequency depends on the total number of bunches and usually reaches hundreds of MHz. The actual problem is to study multi-bunch beam instabilities. To solve this problem a high-speed electron beam profile monitor is developed. This device includes a photodetector unit and signal recorder. The photodetector unit is bult on a photodiode strip consisting of 16 integrated avalanche photodiodes. It takes the radiation intensity distribution on the electron beam profile. Electric pulses from the photodiodes are fed to inputs of analog integrators. The integrator operates continuously without reset between two adjacent pulses. Varying continuously the integrator output level consistently takes the value of the every input pulse integral. This technique improves the integrator performance. The integrator is designed for input pulse repetition rate of 200 MHz. The 16-channel signal recorder fixes the integrals values, performs their 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion and buffering in the internal 3 Gb memory. The accumulated data is transferred via Ethernet 100BASE-T. The device design has been completed. The program shell developing is in progress. The prototype of the analog integrator has been tested. The next stage is the whole device prototyping and testing at Siberia-2 which has a close bunch repetition frequency of 181.6 MHz. The device described must continuously implement 15625000 measurements of the vertical or horizontal electron beam profile at 16 points with a time resolution of 5 ns.

Abstract content Cosmic ray tomography is a technique under development since years. It consists in using particle detectors to reconstruct the scattering angle of cosmic rays traversing the volume under inspection, thus revealing the presence of materials with high atomic number, as radioactive elements or heavy metals. Although the validity of the muon tomography has already been demonstrated, its use on a large scale is still disfavored because of the high cost and complexity of the detectors. We propose a novel detector (Micro Channel Device, MCD) specifically designed for this application, having the potential to be easily produced on industrial scale.The proposed detector belongs to the category of MPGDs with an amplification region less than 1 mm wide. The use of this device has several advantages: it allows for compact scanning stations (reduced transverse dimensions) and reduced operating costs (limited applied voltages and small gas volumes) when compared to other gas detectors as drift chambers; it can be adapted to curved shape to better fit a scanning station and it is competitive from the point of view of the production costs. The potential for industrial mass production makes the MCD a good candidate for the homeland security market. We will illustrate the basic concept of an MCD, its working principle and expected performance. The concept of a small-size cylindrical scanning station based on MCD and the study of the resolution power on different materials will also be presented.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The high background environment of SuperKEKB poses serious challenges to the design of the Belle II detector. In particular, an upgrade of the forward Electromagnetic Calorimeter is foreseen: the new calorimeter will use pure CsI crystals, which have a faster scintillation light emission and lower light yield than the CsI(Tl) crystals presently used. An intense R&D program is ongoing to select the optimal photodetector to meet the stringent requirements set by the use of pure CsI in Belle II. A study of equivalent noise, resolution, radiation hardness and stability of low noise, high-gain avalanche photodiodes obtained by reading single pure CsI crystals will be presented. Our preliminary results indicate that a readout chain using these devices meets the requirements for the Belle II calorimeter and represents a cost-effective choice for the readout of pure CsI crystals in general.

We used a PTFE chamber containing about one liter of liquid argon lined-up with a reflective foil (3M VIKUITI) evaporated with a wavelength shifter (TetraPhenyl Butadiene - TPB). The chamber is observed by a small array of 7 large area SiPM (Hamamatsu S11828-‐3344M, 1.7 cm2 each ) for a coverage of the internal surface of the order of 4%. The measured light yield is comparable with the highest light yield values obtained, in similar conditions, using a light detection system based on a standard 3" cryogenic PMT (Hmamatsu R11065) that allows for a photo-catodic coverage 3 times higher. This is an extremely important result that shows that at this moment SiPMs represent a real alternative to standard photo-multipliers for cryogenic noble liquids applications.

Abstract content CMD-3 detector of VEPP2000 e+e- collider, BINP, Russia, is under data taking for a few runs. It’s Time Oriented Measurement and Acquire (TOMA) DAQ demonstrates stable operation and targeted performance. During DAQ life cycle it was few times expanded in number and nomenclature of digitizer boards so as new functionality features was switched on. There are no interference or backward compatibility problems observed. This is due to special design based on idea to exchange some hardware logical complexity to precise time control complexity known as synchronization. Using this idea to distinguish synchronization modes the CMD-3 modular approach specification was built. This specification connects DAQ function’s with synchronization modes and makes all hardware modules the same hierarchy level e.g. independent. Hardware modules are realized as HDL descriptions suitable to implement in any modern FPGA. KEDR detector of VEPP-4 e+e- collider is now constrained with it’s DAQ performance. To solve this problem we make step by step change of KEDR DAQ hardware with CMD-3 DAQ hardware. Dramatically difference in timing is addressed with modification of HDL parameters. At process completion DAQ performance will increase in 20..40 times. Summary CMD-3 and KEDR is mid scale universal detectors for HEP. But it’s energy range, DAQ technique and colliding machines is totally different. This talk describes how to really isolate modules in “modular approach” and how it can help to address system requirements. Also, some details are discussed.

Observation of this decay would determine an absolute mass scale for neutrinos, prove that neutrinos are massive Majorana particles (i.e. they are their own anti-particles), and constitute physics beyond the Standard Model. The first phase experiment called EXO-200 is running at the WIPP salt mine in New Mexico using 200 kg of liquid xenon enriched to 80% in Xe-136 in an ultra-low background TPC. Data taken up to April 2012 has yielded the first measurement of two-neutrino double beta decay in Xe-136, the most precise two-neutrino double beta decay measurement of any isotope to date, and a limit on the neutrinoless double beta decay mode that places one of the most stringent limits on the effective Majorana neutrino mass. The EXO-200 detector performance and analysis techniques to achieve the current results will be discussed. In addition, current design efforts for a future multi-ton experiment called nEXO based on the success of EXO-200 will be discussed.

These facilities exploited the particle bursts - protons with momentum of 24GeV/c - delivered from the PS accelerator in “spills” of about 400ms (slow extraction). With the increasing demand of irradiation experiments, these facilities suffered from a number of unpleasant restrictions such as the space availability, the maximum achievable particle flux and several access constraints. In the framework of the AIDA project, an upgrade of these facilities was proposed based on the assumption that the DIRAC experiment will be completed by the end of 2012 and its experimental apparatus dismounted in the CERN long shutdown (LS1) during 2013-2014. The new East Area irradiation facilities (EA-IRRAD) would then be installed in the area occupied by the DIRAC experiment. The proposal being accepted, the construction project of the new facilities has begun in November 2012. The facilities are now expected to be ready for commissioning during summer 2014. While the new proton facility (IRRAD) will continue to be mainly devoted to the radiation hardness studies for the High Energy Physics experimental community, the new mixed-field facility (CHARM) will mainly host irradiation experiments for the validation of electronic systems used in accelerators such the LHC. In this paper, we outline the characteristics of the new IRRAD proton facility in terms of layout, area equipment and potential for new irradiation experiments.

Generally, a size of photodetector which is required for aerogel Cherenkov detector tends to become bigger in proportion to an effective area. Therefore, it is difficult to make detector which has large area and thin width. We try to achieve large area particle identification using small photodetectors with thin light guide made from wavelength shifting fiber of 0.2 mm in diameter form sheet. M-ACC will be able to achieve experiments said to be impossible in general. Give two examples. First, the experiment require at π/K identification, 1 GeV/c, in magnetic field(about 1 T), effective area shape like a donut, a size of detector having 2 m in diameter and thickness of 10 cm. Second, PID condition is at e/μ identification, 250 Mev/c, effective area of 20 cm x 20 cm and lower cost of $2,000 per a censer.

While keeping the dose level the same, or even lower, than in conventional systems, spectral CT offers the possibility to measure energy dependent features of different tissues that will allow the extraction of additional information about the patient, eventually leading to real color CT. Spectral CT can be achieved through the application of energy sensitive pixel detectors, such as Medipix-based semiconductor devices and by the implementation of reconstruction algorithms where the energy information is taken into account. In this paper, we present the latest results of our work on spectral CT with Medipix detectors and specifically on detector characterization and the development of algorithms that include energy information.

A problem is the contaminated water including the atomic nucleus which relatively has a long half-life time such as 90Sr, 137Cs generated from 235U used for nuclear fuel in particular. Particular, since 90Sr has a long biological half-life time (49 years), it is dangerous to cause internal exposure. Therefore, real-time 90Sr counter is required. It is relatively easy to identify a nucleus emitting gamma ray. But it is more difficult to identify a nucleus emitting pure beta ray such as 90Sr. Typically, measurement of a radioactivity absolute value of 90Sr takes a month at least to give a result. At first, we aim to identify 90Sr/137Cs by threshold type Cherenkov detection. It needs radiator which has less than 1.0492 of refractive index for identification 2.28 MeV of maximum kinematic energy of beta ray from 90Sr and 1.17 MeV of maximum kinematic energy of beta ray from 137Cs. Recent, The material satisfying this request does not exist expect the silica aerogel. We produced prototype and evaluated performance.

Abstract content One possibility to make a fast and radiation resistant shower maximum (SM) detector is to use a secondary emitter as an active element. We present below test beam results, obtained with different types of the photo detectors based on micro channel plates (MCP) as the secondary emitter. The SM time resolution - we obtained for this new type of detector is at the level of 20-30 ps. We estimate that a significant contribution to the detector response originates from secondary emission of the MCP. This work can be considered as the first step in building a new type of calorimeter based on this principle. Summary We made measurements with different types of MCP PMT as shower maximum detector. The measurements were performed at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility with 120 GeV/c primary proton beam and 12 GeV/c and 32 GeV/c secondary beams. We obtained time resolution for the SM detector based on Photek 240 at the level of 20 – 30 ps. The SM detector, based on the Photonis MCP-PMT, also achieves a very good TR, ~35 ps. We feel that this level of performance, even with a large MCP pore size (diameter ~25 μm), enables the development of SM detectors for collider experiments at a potentially much reduced cost. The success of the LAPPD project [2, 4] in developing affordable MCP’s is encouraging in this respect. More savings are possible if it can be shown that bare MCP’s without an associated photocathode, can give similar timing performance. We plan on performing a future beam test that can resolve this issue.

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
