Besides established detection techniques using a 3000 km2 array of particle detectors sampling shower particles at ground level, and detecting fluorescence light emitted during the shower development with telescopes, the Observatory explores the potential of radio detection of cosmic rays with the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA). Radio detection has the potential to provide information on e.g. cosmic ray shower properties with a duty-cycle not limited by day and moon light as in case of the fluorescence technique. AERA consists of 124 autonomous detector stations sensitive to MHz frequencies. The stations feature dual-polarized radio antennas, custom low-noise analog and digital electronics and a broad-band wireless communication system. With AERA we face the challenge of self-triggering on the radio pulse in a background dominated environment by implementing various real-time signal processing strategies within the station electronics. Complementary, we explore the potential of the radio technique as an integral part of future multi-component detectors by utilizing trigger information from the other Auger detectors and recently, by particle detectors integrated in the radio stations. We will discuss the current cosmic ray measurements and the status and prospects of AERA.

Many technological improvements are foreseen during the planned upgrade; among what most concerns the core of the GERDA experiment there will be: i) the complete rearrangement of the Germanium naked detector array configuration and its handling in the cryogenic (liquid Argon), hostile environment; ii) the major redesign of the cryogenic front-end preamplifiers (CC3), that will be specifically suited to the new low capacitance Broad Energy (BE) Ge detectors and iii) the optimization of the off-line subsequent digital processing, for better energy estimation and pulse shape discrimination of the HPGe waveforms. Given the even tighter specifications of the GERDA phase II experiment with respect to phase I (e.g. energy resolution, pulse shape discrimination, etc.) and the even more stringent associated constraints (e.g. lower-background materials, more deployed detectors, flexibility in handing detectors and associated electronics, etc.), the whole design process turns out to be multi-objective, iterative and multi-disciplinary (involving e.g. physics, electronics, mechanics, leading-edge technologies such as nano-structured materials, etc.). The main steps of this roadmap, a few non-trivial key points (e.g. concerning the design of the very front end electronics) and the overall final results in terms of positive achievements and associated drawbacks will be presented, together with the expected preliminary results of the commissioning phase.

For stable operations, both need to be kept constant. In an ILC calorimeter with millions of channels this is a challenging task. It is, therefore, desirable to compensate automatically for temperature variations by readjusting the bias voltage. We have designed an adaptive power supply to achieve this task. We anticipate a gain stability at the level of 1%. First, we present measurements of the gain dependence on temperature and bias voltage for several SiPMs from three different manufacturers and determine the dV/dT dependence. We then demonstrate the performance of the gain stability with a prototype that was constructed in industry after performing measurements with a test board.

Its goal is the detection of Extreme Air Showers (EAS) above a few 10^19 eV, developing underneath at a distance of about 400 km, in the troposphere. The SPACIROC family is dedicated to readout 64-channel Multi Anode PMT (MAPMT) or similar detectors. The two main features of this ASIC are the photon counting for each input and the charge-to-time (Q-to-T) conversions for each 8-channel sum. In the photon counting mode, the 100% trigger efficiency is achieved for 1/3 photo-electron (pe) input charges and in order to avoid pile-up in case of a large flux of photons, the double pulse resolution is required to be shorter than 10ns. For the Q-to-T converter, the ASIC should operate in a large dynamic range (1pe to 100pe per pixel). The operating conditions of JEM-EUSO require having low power dissipation (1mW/channel). High-speed performances with low power are obtained thanks to the SiGe technology used for the ASIC. This ASIC has been submitted in three successive versions: SPACIROC1, which showed global good behavior, has been used to equip the EUSO-BALLON instrument. The second version was a conservative design to improve performances and decrease power consumption. The third version has been designed to improve the double pulse separation and to increase the charge dynamic range thanks to new front end architecture. The design and performances (with and without MAPMT) of the third version of SPACIROC are presented in TIPP2014 paper.

The GEM detector will replace the current inner drift chamber that is suffering early aging due to the increase of the machine luminosity. The new inner tracker is expected to match the momentum resolution (σpt/Pt~0.5% at 1 GeV) and radial resolution (σxy~100μm) of the drift chamber and to improve significantly the spatial resolution along the beam direction (σz ~150μm) with very small material budget (about 1X0). The inner tracker will be composed by three layers of triple cylindrical GEM with an angular coverage of 93% of the solid angle. Each layer is composed by five cylindrical structures: the cathode, three GEMs and the anode readout. To minimize the material, no support frames are used inside the active area and the GEM foils are mechanically stretched being glued to fiberglass rings at their ends. The anode configuration is studied by means of Maxwell and Garfield simulations and with a small-scale planar prototype that is tested with cosmic rays. Preliminary R&D and simulation studies will be presented together with the mechanical design of the detector. Due to the 1 T magnetic field of the experiment an analog readout is mandatory to achieve the desired spatial resolution; the charge will be measured with “time-over-threshold” technique. Our plan to develop a new ASIC chip based on UMC-110nm technology with limited power consumption will be also presented.

This modular designed scintillation detector is capable to determine particle's position two-dimensional with resolution of a few mm for minimum ionizing particles. POSSUMUS is usable for large area trigger applications with few readout channels. The idea of this detector is to combine two trapezoidal shaped plastic scintillators to form one rectangular shaped scintillator rod. Each trapezoid in a rod is optically insulated against the other. In both trapezoids the scintillation light is collected by wavelength shifting fibers (WLS-fibers) and guided to Silicon-Photo-Multipliers (SiPM), where the light yield is detected. The SiPMs are located at opposite sites of each WLS-fiber, an automatic voltage adjustment allows for a stable gain of the detected light signals. Position resolution in the transverse direction is achieved by the geometric shape of the scintillators. The amount of light produced by incoming particles is proportional to their path length in the trapezoid and thus position dependent. The longitudinal position resolution, along the scintillator rod, is determined by the propagation time of light to either end of the rod. Because of its modularity, the POSSUMUS-detector can be used for trigger applications of different sizes with only few readout channels. By combining several scintillator rods, position sensitive areas from 100 cm2 to few m2 are achievable. In this talk we present a fully operating prototype of POSSUMUS, the multi-channel gain stabilization system for SiPMs and results for transverse and longitudinal position resolution Summary Primary Authors: RUSCHKE, Alexander (Ludwig-Maximilians-Univ.

To evaluate the influence of different active media and different absorbers, dedicated experiments with tungsten and steel hadron calorimeters of the CALICE collaboration have been carried out. These use plastic scintillator tiles with SiPM readout and RPCs, both arranged as 15 small detector cells read out with fast digitizers and deep buffers. The results of the studies provide detailed information on the time structure of hadronic showers, and are confronted with GEANT4 simulations to evaluate the realism of current hadronic shower models with respect to the time evolution of hadronic cascades.

This experiment aims to study the KL->pi0nunubar decay with an electromagnetic calorimeter and hermetic veto detectors placed around a neutral with high neutron and kaon rates. The veto system requires a gamma-ray detector which should be located in the beam and able to detect gammas escaping there with high efficiency even under the large neutron flux of 500MHz. This detector consists of multiple modules of lead and aerogel pair. Incident gammas are converted to electrons and positrons in lead sheets and photons from their Cerenkov radiation in aerogel are viewed by photomultiplier tubes. Since protons or charged pions, which are mainly produced by neutrons, do not emit Cerenkov lights because of their small velocity, excellent blindness to neutrons can be achieved while keeping high photon detection efficiency around 99.9% for energy larger than 1 GeV. The half number of modules of the detector were installed and actually worked as an in-beam photon veto detector in the first physics data taking of the KOTO experiment. The detector operated stably during 1 week of data taking and expected performance on gamma-ray detection was confirmed as a result of evaluation using KL->3pi0 decay events. In this presentation, the design of this detector, stability and performance studies in the physics data taking, and the future prospects will be reported.

To keep triggering with a similar performance as in Run 1, the CMS muon trigger is currently being upgraded. The new algorithms will provide higher resolution, especially for the muon transverse momentum and will make use of isolation criteria that combine calorimeter with muon information already in the level-1 trigger. The demands of the new algorithms can only be met by upgrading the level-1 trigger system to new powerful FPGAs with high bandwidth I/O. The processing boards will be based on the new microTCA standard. We report on the planned algorithms for the upgraded Global Muon Trigger (GMT) which combines information from the muon trigger sub-systems and assigns the isolation variable. The upgraded GMT will be implemented using a Master Processor 7 card, built by Imperial College, that features a large Xilinx Virtex 7 FPGA. Up to 72 optical links at 10 Gb/s will be used to receive energy sums from the calorimeter trigger and muon candidates directly from the sector processors of the upgraded trigger, absorbing the final sorting stage of each muon sub-system and thus minimizing the latency of the trigger.

The combination of dense, new scintillator materials with compact photon detector solutions insensitive to magnetic fields provides a promising prospect to meet the requirements in modern combined molecular imaging modalities. The energy response and temperature dependence of both, the scintillator and photon sensor has been studied for two scintillator materials, Pr:LuAG and Ce:GAGG coupled to either a n-on-p or p-on-n type SiPM. The performance was compared to a CsI crystal coupled to a conventional small vacuum based photon sensor.

The calibration system on the first prototype of the AHCAL in CALICE used one optical fibre for each of 7608 channels to distribute calibration light to tiles with SiPM. As the proposed analogue hadronic calorimeter for ILC should have around 10^6 channels, the former system is inapplicable due to spatial requirements and manufacture difficulties. Now two ways of light distribution are considered. The first one is focused on the implementation of one LED placed directly on PCB for each SiPM channel. The second one is focused on a simplified fibre distribution system using one fibre with taps for more channels. It uses so called notched fibre and will be presented here. The system allows to calibrate one row of 72 scintillation tiles read by SiPMs using one driver with one LED and three subsequent notched fibres. We will present principals, parameters of current system and requirements for future development to allow reliable manufacturing. Benefits and drawbacks of notched fibre system with a comparison to the system with embedded LED for each SiPM channel is also discussed. Further we report on latest version of the electronics for calibration and monitoring system developed for single UV-LED. The system is based on original fast (3 ns pulsewidth) and precise LED driver called QMB. Due to its high dynamic range of precise a few nanosecond pulses it is flexible to all necessary monitoring and calibration task for SiPM like detectors.

Highly granular calorimeters will play an important part in achieving this high precision as they allow the application of Particle Flow Algorithms. These calorimeters are being developed by the CALICE collaboration and several prototypes have already been build and tested. The optimization of PFA is supported best if hadronic interactions are well modeled in Monte Carlo simulations. The development and improvement of such hadronic shower models relies on detailed reference data which these prototypes can provide. We have studied interactions of negatively charged pions in the highly granular CALICE silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter (Si-W ECAL) prototype in the energy range of 2 to 10 GeV and compared various global hadronic shower observables to different Monte Carlo models in the simulation toolkit Geant4. The Si-W ECAL is very sensitive to the start of the hadronic shower and we have developed an algorithm optimised to ﬁnd interactions at small hadron energies and can identify the interaction point with an accuracy of ± 2 layers at an eﬃciency of at least 50% at 2 GeV and at least 80% at 10 GeV. The efficient detection of the shower starting point and shape will improve the performance of Particle Flow Algorithms. The algorithms aim to reconstruct each particle in the optimal subdetector and therefore gain in performance with an improved shower recognition and separation. We are applying advanced machine learning algorithms to improve the detection and separation efficiency.

The requirements for the reactor monitor are to be nonflammable and nonvolatile. As such a detector, we are developping a water-based liquid scintillator. One of the problems of a water-based scintillator is that it is difficult to get enough light yield bucause most of the known luminescent agents are difficult to dissolve in water. We tried to dissolve a liminescent agent in water with sevarel surfactants and measured the light yield varying concentrations of the liminescent agent and surfactants. The scintillators are contained in a vial (4cm diameter and 6cm height) and the light yield is measured using compton edge electrons by gamma-rays from a cobalt 60. We used a blue LED for light yield calibration. As one of the results, we got about 30 photo-electrons for a scintillator consisting of water, PPO (luminescent agent), Bis-MSB (wavelength shifter), and sodium dodecylsulfate (surfactant). Neutrino interactions are identified by a well-known coincidence of a prompt positron signal followed by a delayed neutron capture by gadlinium. In addition to the light yield measurement described previously, we will report about development of the gadlinium-loaded water-based liquid scintillator.

Its innovative approach is that it uses a compact annular 300 mm long Time Projection Chamber (TPC) surrounding a thick cylindrical liquid hydrogen target. The TPC reconstructs the recoiled proton tracks in order to locate the interaction vertex inside the target, allowing a proper Doppler correction to emitted gamma rays measured in a dedicated detector. A bulk-micromegas, segmented in 4608x2 mm2 pads, is used to readout the TPC which is filled with an Argon-iC4H10(3%)-CF4(15%) gas mixture. The electronics is composed of 20 analog front-end cards. Each of these is read out by a newly designed digital board, called the Feminos, which is compatible with the AFTER and AGET chips. The internal and external TPC field cages are made of 2 mm thick Rohacell cylinders on which are glued 50 microns thick Kapton foils printed with 381 copper strips. The MINOS device will be described, with a focus on the design choices and performances of the TPC characterized in laboratory with cosmic rays. We will report on the recent full in-beam validation of the TPC at HIMAC (Japan) where a better than 4 mm vertex resolution was obtained with a 180 and 350 Mev/u 20Ne ion-beam impinging on 0.5 mm thick CH2 and C targets.

It enables new detector designs, like the Time-of-Propagation DIRC of Belle II, or the TORCH upgrade for LHCb, and to improve existing designs, e.g. allow chromatic corrections in DIRCs. These applications have in common a high channel density, limited available space and low power consumption. We report on Frontend Electronics developed for the PANDA Barrel DIRC. The customised design utilises high-bandwidth pre-amplifiers and fast discriminators providing LVDS output signals which can be directly fed into the TRBv3 readout using FPGA-TDCs with a precision better than 20ps RMS. The discriminators also provide Time-over-Threshold (ToT) information which can be used for walk corrections thus improving the obtainable timing resolution. Two types of cards, optimised for reading out 64-channel Photonis Planacon MCP-PMTs, were tested: one based on the NINO ASIC and the other, called PADIWA, on FPGA-based discriminators. Both types feature 16 channels per card, thus requiring four cards to read out one 64-channel MCP-PMT. Power consumption for the complete readout of one Planacon MCP-PMT is approx. 10W for the NINO FEE and approx. 5W for the PADIWA FEE. The timing performance of the cards was tested with a fast laser system and also in a test experiment at the MAMI accelerator in Mainz using a small DIRC prototype to image Cherenkov patterns. In both cases, using the ToT information, a timing resolution of better than 100ps was found for the complete readout chain.

There are three candidate photodetectors; One is a 20-inch venetian blind dynode type PMT (R3600) which is used in Super-Kamiokande. Second is a newly developed box and line dynode type PMT which has a better collection efficiency and timing response than R3600. The other one, a large-aperture Hybrid Photo-Detector (HPD), is also newly developed and uses an avalanche diode instead of dynodes to multiply photoelectrons. Compared to PMT, the HPD has a simpler structure, better collection efficiency, better timing response, and better single photoelectron charge resolution. A high quantum efficiency (QE) is a common option for the three candidates and it was applied for the R3600 at first. The high-QE R3600 has 30 % QE at maximum peak, 1.4 times higher than that of the R3600 used in Super-Kamiokande. In order to evaluate the performance and usability of the candidate photodetectors, we perform a long-term test with a 200-ton water Cherenkov detector located in Kamioka mine. The progress of the long-term test of 8-inch HPDs and high-QE R3600s will be reported. The status of R & D of the 20-inch box & line PMTs and 20-inch HPDs will be also presented. We plan to choose the photodetectors for Hyper-K in 2016.

Thus this camera has a potential of developing the new reagents for molecular imaging. Until now we have carried out several imaging reagent studies such as : (1) F-18-FDG (511keV) and I-131-MIBG (364keV) for double clinical tracer imaging, (2) Zn-65(1116keV),Mn-54, Fe-59 in mouse for high energy gamma emitting RI imaging. In addition, ETCC can image continuum spectral gamma-rays by removing background particle using dE/dx of the track. ETCC has a potential of real-time monitoring of the Bragg peak location by detecting prompt gammas. We successfully obtained the images of both 511keV and continuum high energy gamma rays (800-2000keV) from the water target irradiated by 140MeV proton (Kurosawa, Cur. Apl. Phys, 12 (2012), pp. 364). In 2013 we have completed a 30cm cube ETCC to catch gamma-rays, of which tracking efficiency was improved with 10 times. It enables to select the Compton event contained in TPC using only the energy loss rate of the track with distinguishing it from all backgrounds. Eventually its sensitivity is improved by a factor of 100. A similar imaging test for prompt gammas using 140MeV proton beam was recently carried out, of which intensity was increased more 10 times than previous experiment. Here I present new performance of the improved ETCC and the results of the beam test.

See below a detailed summary of your submitted abstract: Conference: Tipp 2014 - Third International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics Submitted by: YAO, Yuan Submitted on: 31 January 2014 08:12 Title: A Method of Frequency-tracking in Direct Detection Doppler Wind LIDAR Abstract content The Direct Detection Doppler Wind LIDAR (DWL) is of great significance in the study of global wind measurements and climatology. The DWL adopting double-edge technique of Fabry-Perot etalon requires outgoing laser frequency to fall on the abrupt linear region of the transmittance curve of F-P etalon. Vibration and temperature variation would cause frequency shift, which will further induce laser frequency to fall outside the linear region. While the precision and sensitivity of DWL greatly lowered, a locking channel is hereby designed for shift detection. According to the shift, the position of transmittance curve can be modulated, which guarantees the frequency falling on the linear region. An approach of detecting the frequency shift is to measure amplitude variation by Photomultiplier Tube (PMT). The output signal is periodic, with 50Hz in frequency, only 20ns-width and sharp edges. Consequently, it is difficult to measure amplitude of such a narrow pulse signal under relatively low sampling rate. To reduce the error caused by low sampling rate, the measurement of the pulse area is made to instead of pulse amplitude. Statistical methods are also applied for further accuracy and improving stability. A data acquisition system including circuit and a specific software is designed. The system includes external trigger, data acquisition and processing. Controlling system sends trigger parameters and acquisition commands via software. Tests using splitters have been carried out.

By measuring the track of an electron, ETCC measures the direction of gamma-rays as a small arc, which provides a good background rejection using the kinematical test and energy loss rate of the track (particle identification), and clear imaging. Already we revealed its strong background rejection ability by the balloon experiment (a 10cm-cube ETCC: SMILE-I) in 2006, where 98% background events were removed. In 2013 we completed a 30cm cube ETCC to catch gamma-rays from Crab in next SMILE-II balloon experiment with >5shigma for several hours. The tracking efficiency was improved with 10 times, which enables to select the Compton event in TPC using only the energy loss rate of the track with distinguishing it from all backgrounds. Thus, we can extract the maximum detection efficiency expected by the simulation. Also SPD angle provides a several times better contract in image than conventional Compton method. Then, SMILE-II would provide a 5times better sensitivity than COMPTEL with the use of 3atm CF4 gas, and 40cm-cube ETCCs onboard satellite is expected to reach near 10-12 ergcm-2s-1. To verify this performance, SMILE-II was irradiated by secondary gammas and neutron from water target using 140MeV proton beam, and measured the clear image of a weak source under 10times stronger radiation than that in the balloon altitude. Here we will present the detail of the SMIEL-II performance including this beam test.

This MCP-PMT has high photon detection efficiency which results from using transmission photocathode and reflection photocathode simultaneously, and the total quantum efficiency reaches approximately 30%. Good design of focusing electrode and appropriate distribution of voltage can ensure 95% photoelectrons entering the surface of MCP. The electron multiplication system consists of 4 MCPs that each of the two pieces of MCP is a component, by optimizing the voltages of each MCP and the gaps between MCPs, the gain obtained is greater than 107 and the peak to valley ratio of single photoelectron is about 2. For anode optimization, we design two kinds of configuration to reduce signal ringing, the one is metal mesh and plate, the other is micro-strip line. Finally, by using signal cable which impedance matches the anode, we obtain very single photoelectron signal.

The following email has been sent to YUREVICH, Vladimir: === Dear Vladimir Yurevich, The submission of your abstract has been successfully processed. Abstract submitted: <https://indico.cern.ch/userAbstracts.py?confId=192695>. Status of your abstract: <https://indico.cern.ch/abstractDisplay.py?abstractId=121&confId=192695>. See below a detailed summary of your submitted abstract: Conference: Tipp 2014 - Third International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics Submitted by: YUREVICH, Vladimir Submitted on: 31 January 2014 06:29 Title: Modular Detector with Picosecond Time Resolution Abstract content Nowadays the TOF measurement with picosecond time resolution is important feature in high-energy physics experiments and the detectors solving this task are important part of experimental setups. The initial point of our activity in this direction was a proposal of Fast Forward Detector (FFD) for MPD/NICA project [1]. The detector concept and results obtained with the first version of detector modules were published in [2]. Another considerable application is developing a modular array for BMN project [3]. Both these cases were studied by MC simulation and some the results are presented here. Application in experiments with rather low energy of heavy ions, sNN1/2 ~ a few GeV, is the most difficult case because in such collisions the produced particles have the smallest multiplicity and mostly their velocities β are essentially less of 1. The examples are novel experiments CBM at SIS-100, BMN at Nuclotron, and MPD/NICA which are in preparation stage. In this report the experience in developing and testing modules for detector arrays with picosecond time resolution based on registration of Cherenkov radiation induced by relativistic charged particles and high-energy photons is described. The important point for ps-timing and operation in magnetic field is application of MCP-PMTs XP85012/A1-Q from Photonis. The main idea of the detector concept is registration of ultrarelativistic charged particles and high-energy photons by conversion to electrons in lead layer in front of quartz radiator. The total active area of the module is 59 × 59 mm with zero dead space (only module housing defines the dead area). It is very important point because it allows designing detector arrays without any dead space. The module has four independent cells/channels. The quartz radiator has 15-mm thickness and it is segmented into four bars. The radiator is optically coupled with MCP-PMT which has 8 × 8 anode pads transformed into 2 × 2 cells by merging 4 × 4 pads of each cell into a single channel. The FEE is carried out amplification and formation of output analog and LVDS signals. The performance of detector modules and modular arrays proposed for start signal generation in TOF measurements and triggering Au + Au collisions in MPD/NICA and BMN was studied by MC simulation and in tests with GeV single-charged ions of Nuclotron beam and cosmic rays. In the experimental tests three different types of readout electronics were used: (i) measurement of time and amplitude with TAC and ADC, (ii) determination of time and pulse width for LVDS signals, and (iii) analysis of pulse shape by digitizing with 200-ps/bin time scale. For single-charged particles with β ≈ 1 producing about 1800 Cherenkov photons in quartz, the module channel generated the pulses with pulse height of ~ 300 mV, rise time of 1.2 ns, pulse width of 5 ns at noise level of a few mV. The time resolution obtained in the measurements with two modules is ~ 30 ps (sigma) per module cell. It means that one may hope to get an excellent time resolution better than 10 ps in a real experiment where registration of a large number of charged particles and photons by modular array occurs in single events. 1.
