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.

Abstract content The high coherence, high peak power and short pulses duration of modern light sources (e.g. X-ray Free-Electron Lasers - XFELs) are particularly well suited for time-resolved pump-probe and coherent diffraction studies. In many pump-probe experiments small differences in signal produced by ground and excited states have to be detected and resolved. Poisson statistics dictates that ~ 1 million of photons are needed to resolve an effect with 1/1000 precision. This requires detector systems with tremendous dynamic resolution and sources capable to provide either pulses with high intensity and moderate repetition rate or very high repetition rate with moderate intensity. The typical approach is to average many frames. However source, pump-laser and sample instability make blind averages not really useful. It is therefore critical to preserve the information of each single pulse: comprising beamline and accelerator diagnostics, laser to FEL timing, and detector. Data can then be sorted out, binned and correlated, before the averaging procedure. Further even when the detector is capable of better-than-Poisson performance for a single image, it's not guaranteed that the detector error will be smaller than the summed Poisson statistics when many frames will be averaged. Non-gaussian non-ergodic processes can dominate the error limiting the achievable resolution. Detector stability and homogeneity are equally important for X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS), where in addition small pixel and single photon resolution are needed. Deep understanding of the detection system and careful calibration are necessary for good quality high yield data. While these techniques have been used since long time in the High-Energy and Particle Physics communities, they are relatively new in the field of Photon Science. Examples of applications and optimization will be presented.

See below a detailed summary of your submitted abstract: Conference: Tipp 2014 - Third International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics Submitted by: ABRAMOVITCH, Joshua Submitted on: 01 March 2014 15:23 Title: Development of a Silicon PIN Diode X-Ray Detector Abstract content X-ray detectors currently on the market are expensive, costing thousands of dollars each and still limited in data acquisition options. The goal of this project is to create a device that can be used to accurately measure gamma and x-ray flux, calculate radiation dose rates, and be simple and inexpensive to produce. Developing an accurate and reliable system of measuring gamma and x-ray flux will allow for laboratories to conduct irradiation tests with confident calibration. Many methods used to calculate x-ray flux are incapable of accounting for the high x-ray flux generated by modern x-ray machines. Advances in the technology of silicon PIN diodes in the datacom and telecom industries allows for the development of an inexpensive and compact solid-state ionizing sensor to calculate x-ray flux. X-ray flux can be determined from the photocurrent produced by silicon PIN diodes when they capture a photon. The photocurrent is estimated for a given energy from the charge deposited, and x-ray flux in turn can be calculated from the current, charge, energy deposited, and properties of silicon. Two working detector circuits, an AC-coupled version that outputs pulses and a DC-coupled version that outputs a DC voltage level, have already been completed. Cosmic muon, beta particle, and gamma photon events have been observed and characterized. Also, the charge and energy deposited onto the PIN photodiodes have been estimated. Remaining work for this project will be to combine the AC and DC circuits into one system with readout electronics. Summary This project is to design, build, and utilize such a detector with silicon PIN diodes to accurately determine gamma and X-ray levels.

Hi, I wanted to submit a (slightly) late abstract for TIPP this year. The indico site is now closed for submissions (I was working under the wrong assumption about the timezone for this deadline).

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

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.

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.
