Title: An FPGA-based full mesh enabled ATCA general purpose processor
board
Abstract content
The Pulsar II is an FPGA-based full mesh enabled ATCA general purpose processor board, its design is motivated by the silicon-based tracking trigger needs for LHC experiments. 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.

Title: Development of a Drift Chamber Detector for Large Area
Applications of Muon Tomography
Abstract content
Cosmic ray muon tomography is a novel three-dimensional imaging technique able to image objects in dense or cluttered containers. 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. Performance studies of single and few-detector stack systems are reported including gas, resolution and efficiency studies. Then our considerations of a proposed design for a prototype detector module are also discussed.

Title: Detection System for the UCNB and Nab Experiments
Abstract content
The development of the detection system using novel 2 mm thick, large area, thin deadlayer, highly segmented silicon detectors represents a joint effort of the UCNB and Nab collaborations, which will measure the neutrino asymmetry "B", and the electron-neutrino angular correlation "a" and Fierz interference term "b", respectively, in neutron beta decay. 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.

Title: Photodetector R&D for the Belle II upgraded forward
Electromagnetic Calorimeter
Abstract content
The Belle II experiment will operate at the SuperKEKB e+e− collider, designed to reach a peak luminosity of 8×10^35 cm−2 s−1 at the Ypsilon(4S).
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.

Title: high light yield in a 1 liter liquid argon chamber read-out by
SiPMs
Abstract content
We will show the results obtained with a liquid argon scintillation chamber with light read-out completely based on SiPM. 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.

Title: CMD-3 TOMA DAQ goes to KEDR detector.
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.

Title: The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) for Double Beta Decay
Abstract content
The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) is an experimental program designed to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Xe-136. 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.

Title: A New High-Intensity Proton Irradiation Facility at the CERN PS
East Area
Abstract content
The proton and mixed-field irradiation facilities in the CERN PS East Area (known as IRRAD1 and IRRAD2), were heavily and successfully exploited for irradiation of particle detectors, electronic components and materials since 1992. 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.

Title: Development of Multipurpose Aerogel Cherenkov Counter
Abstract content
We have developed a multipurpose aerogel Cherenkov counter (M-ACC) which works particle identification in a narrow space and can cover large area with arbitrary shapes. 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. Recent, we have produced a prototype and carried out performance estimate using cosmic ray. We would report this.

Title: Prospects for spectral CT with Medipix detectors
Abstract content
In the development of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) in medical imaging, one is working to implement spectral information. 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.
