Title: LUCIFER: Neutrinoless Double Beta decay search with
scintillating bolometers
Abstract content
The Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay ($0\nu$DBD) is a powerful tool to test physics beyond the Standard Model and to get insights on the Majorana neutrino nature and mass. Bolometers are excellent detectors to search for this rare decay, thanks to their good energy resolution and to the low background conditions in which they can operate. The current challenge consists in the reduction of the background, represented by environmental $\gamma$s and $\alpha$s, in view of a zero background experiment. This can be obtained with the approach of the LUCIFER project, funded by an European grant, which is based the double read–out of the heat and scintillation light produced by ZnSe scintillating bolometers, that allows to discriminate between $\beta/\gamma$ and $\alpha$ particles. The LUCIFER experiment aims at a background lower than 10$^{3}$ counts/keV/kg/y in the energy region of the $0\nu$DBD of $^{82}$Se, an order of magnitude lower with respect to the present generation experiments. Such a low background level will provide a sensitivity on the effective
neutrino mass of the order of 100 meV. We describe the current status of the LUCIFER project, including results of the recent R&D activity.

Title: Development of a High Rate proton Computed Tomography Detector
system
Abstract content
Proton computed tomography (pCT) offers an alternative to x-ray imaging with potential for three dimensional imaging, reduced radiation exposure, and in-situ imaging. The second generation pCT system being developed at Northern Illinois University in collaboration with Fermilab and Delhi University is comprised of a tracking system, a calorimeter or the range detector, data acquisition system, a computing farm, and software algorithms for image reconstruction. The proton beam encounters the upstream tracking detectors, the patient or phantom, the downstream tracking detectors, and a calorimeter. The tracking detectors are scintillating fibers and the calorimeter is made up of stacked scintillator plates. The data acquisition sends the proton scattering information to an offline computing farm. The pCT detector design allows for an increased data acquisition rate (up to 5 million proton tracks per second) and an improved imaging algorithm, which significantly reduced reconstruction times of three dimensional images.
In this presentation, we will present the current status of the pCT detector system, development of the complete detector simulation and reconstruction tools and their validation, and preliminary test beam data analysis with the full pCT detector system.

Title: Data Acquisition System with data reduction in real-time mode
Abstract content
Studies being performed nowadays in the field of plasma physics and controlled nuclear fusion, are continuously becoming more complex. They advance new challenges on the diagnostic equipment. Several of the basic requirements for a modern diagnostic technique are an easy scaling on multi-channel measurement systems, simultaneity of recording channels and the possibility of adapting the equipment by different diagnostics. Based on these concepts, a data acquisition system for GOL-3 and GDT magnetic mirror traps (Budker Institute, Novosibirsk, Russia) is developed. It is comprised of the signal recorder operating in a real-time mode, based on the ADC with the sampling frequency of 500 MHz and the amplitude resolution of 12 bits, the synchronization system to provide in-phase operation of multiple channels of the recording system and the communication modules for interfacing with an operator’s PC via the Ethernet 10/100 channel. Thanks to building the digital circuitry of the recorder based on a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), the data acquisition system software includes the ability to modify data processing algorithms for the specific diagnostics (interferometry, laser scattering, spectroscopy, refractometry and others) in a real-time mode. The synchronization system consists of two main modules: the timer and the synchronization unit. The accuracy of binding of the output data bundle to the trigger pulse is determined by the sampling frequency of data acquisition system recorders.

Title: CO2 cooling system for Insertable B Layer detector into the
ATLAS experiment
Abstract content
CO2 cooling has become a very interesting technology for current and future tracking particle detectors. A key advantage of using CO2 as refrigerant is the high heat transfer capability allowing a significant material budget saving, which is a critical element in state of the art detector technologies.
At CERN new CO2 cooling system has been constructed to serve for new ATLAS Insertable B-Layer (IBL) detector. Two independent cooling units, sharing one common accumulator, placed about 100m from the heat source, are designed to cool 14 individual staves with evaporative CO2 at the given pressure.
This paper describes the general system design, innovative redundancy approach, maintenance philosophy, control system implementation and the commissioning results including the performance tests in the proximity of the detector. Additionally the different failure scenarios and recovery techniques including cooling units swap procedure will be discussed.
The system tests and challenging commissioning proved precise temperature control over the long distance and expected performance. Looking forward for the IBL detector installation, cooling system will be prepared to serve for the next Large Hadron Collider physics run.

Title: Towards the integration of the MicroVertex Detector in the
PANDA experiment.
Abstract content
Daniela Calvo on behalf of the PANDA MVD group.
The fixed target experiment PANDA is one essential part of the FAIR facility in Darmstadt and is going to study the interactions of antiproton beams, featuring unprecedented quality and intensity, on protons and on nuclei. It includes the Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) [1], as innermost detector of the tracking system, specially able to detect secondary vertices of short-live particles. Due to the forward boost the MVD layout is asymmetric with four barrels surrounding the interaction point and six disks in the forward direction. The innermost layers are composed of hybrid epitaxial silicon pixels and the outermost ones of double sided silicon strips, with about 10^7 pixels and 2x10^5 strips channels.
PANDA features a triggerless architecture, therefore the MVD has to run with a continuous data transmission at a high interaction rate (about 10^7 int./s) where hits have precise timestamps (the experiment clock is 155.52 MHz). In addition the energy loss of the particles in the sensor should be measured.
To cope with these requirements custom readout chips are under development for both pixel and strip devices. The powering and cooling of the readout are challenging since the MVD volume is limited by the surrounding detectors and the routing is only foreseen in the backward direction. Support structures are made of carbon fibers and high thermally conductive carbon foam with embedded cooling pipes beneath the readout chips is integrated.
The presentation is focused on the technological aspects of the design and the integration of this detector in PANDA.

Title: A dark matter search using CCDs
Abstract content
DAMIC is a novel dark matter search experiment that has a unique sensitivity to hypothetic dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV. Due to the CCD's low electronic readout noise (R.M.S. ~ 3 eV), this instrument is able to reach a detection threshold of 60 eV, suitable for the search in the low mass range. The excellent energy response and high spatial resolution of a CCD image allow a powerful background characterization. Early DAMIC runs determined the world's best cross-section limits for WIMPs with masses below 4 GeV. Here we report on DAMIC100, a fully funded dark matter search detector with a target mass of 100 grams of silicon that will be installed at Snolab during the Summer of 2014. We also discuss the challenges associated with the scale-up of the experiment, the calibration efforts for low energy nuclear recoils in silicon, and the prospects for the first physics results after a one year run.

Title: The upgrade of the ALICE Inner Tracking System - Status of the
R&D on monolithic silicon pixel sensors
Abstract content
As a major part of its upgrade plans, the ALICE experiment schedules the installation of a novel Inner Tracking System (ITS) during the Long Shutdown 2 of the LHC in 2018/19. It will replace the present silicon tracker with 7 layers of Monolithic Silicon Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) and significantly improve the detector performance in terms of tracking and rate capabilities. The choice of technology has been guided by the tight requirements on the material budget of 0.3 X$_{0}$ for the three innermost layers and backed by the significant progress in the field of MAPS in recent years.
The new ITS will in total cover a surface of 10.3 m$^2$ with approximately 25 $\times$ 10$^9$ pixels. The pixel chips are manufactured in the TowerJazz 180 nm CMOS imaging sensor process on wafers with high resistivity epitaxial layer. Within the ongoing R&D phase, several sensor chip prototypes have been developed and produced on different epitaxial layer thicknesses and resistivities. These chips are being characterised for their performances before and after irradiation using source tests, test beam and measurements using an infrared laser.
The present contribution will provide an overview of the ALICE ITS upgrade with a focus on the R&D activities on the pixel chip.

Title: Firmware development and testing of the ATLAS Pixel Detector /
IBL ROD card
Abstract content
The ATLAS Experiment is reworking and upgrading systems during the current LHC shut down. In particular, the Pixel detector is inserting an additional inner layer called Insertable B-Layer (IBL). The Readout-Driver card (ROD), the Back-of-Crate card (BOC), and the S-Link together form the essential frontend data path of the IBL’s off-detector DAQ system. The strategy for IBLROD firmware development focused on migrating and tailoring HDL code blocks from PixelROD to ensure modular compatibility in future ROD upgrades, in which a unified code version will interface with IBL and Pixel layers. Essential features such as data formatting, frontend-specific error handling, and calibration are added to the ROD data path. An IBLDAQ testbench using realistic frontend chip model was created to serve as an initial framework for full offline electronic system simulation. In this document, major firmware achievements concerning the IBLROD data path implementation, tested in testbench and on ROD prototypes, will be reported. Recent Pixel collaboration efforts focus on finalizing hardware and firmware tests for IBL. Time plan is to approach a final IBL DAQ phase by the end of 2014.

Title: TORCH - a Cherenkov based Time-of-Flight Detetor
Abstract content
TORCH (Time Of internally Reflected CHerenkov radiation) is an innovative time-of-flight system designed to provide particle identification over large areas up to a momentum of 10 GeV/c. Cherenkov photons emitted within a 1 cm thick quartz radiator are propagated by internal reflection and imaged on to an array of Micro-Channel Plate photomultiplier tubes (MCPs).
Performing 3$\sigma$ pion/kaon separation at the limits of this momentum regime requires a time-of-flight resolution per track of 10-15 ps, over a ~10m flight path. With ~30 detected photons per track the required single-photon time resolution is ~70 ps.
This presentation will discuss the development of the TORCH R&D program and present an outline for future work.
Summary
TORCH (Time Of internally Reflected CHerenkov radiation) is a highly compact Time-of-Flight (ToF) system utilizing Cherenkov radiation to achieve particle identification up to 10 GeV/c. At the upper limit of this momentum, a 10-15 ps resolution per track is required to achieve a 3$\sigma$ ToF difference between pions and kaons.
TORCH will consist of a 1cm thick radiator plate equipped with light guides along the top and bottom of the plate which focus the produced Cherenkov radiation onto a series of micro-channel plate photomultipliers (MCPs). Precise timing of the arrival of the photons and their association with a particle track is then used to determine the particle time-of-flight. Around 30 photons are expected to be detected per track which results in a required time resolution per photon of around 70 ps. The time of propagation of each photon through the plate is governed by its wavelength which affects both its speed of propagation and its Cherenkov emission angle, and by measuring this angle to 1mrad precision TORCH will correct for chromatic dispersion.
The performance of the system relies on the MCP combining fast timing and longevity in high radiation environments, with a high granularity to allow precise measurement of the Cherenkov angle. Development of a 53 mm x 53 mm active area device with 8x128 effective pixel granularity, sub 50ps time resolution and long lifetime is under way with an industrial partner as part of the TORCH development.
A GEANT-4 simulation of the TORCH detector and its performance is currently being developed, taking accounting for the contributions to the overall TORCH resolution. This talk will focus on the requirements of the TORCH design and R&D developments including progress toward a prototype and the development and laboratory tests of the MCP.

Title: Firmware development and testing of the ATLAS IBL Back-Of-Crate
card
Abstract content
The ATLAS experiment is the the largest of the four LHC experiments. Currently its Pixel-Detector
is being upgraded with a new innermost 4th layer, the Insertable b-Layer (IBL). The upgrade will
result in better tracking efficiency and compensate radiation damages of the Pixel-Detector. Newly
developed front-end electronics (FE-I4) will require a complete re-design of the Off-Detector-
Electronics consisting of the Back-Of-Crate card (BOC) and the Read-Out-Driver (ROD).
The main purpose of the BOC card is the distribution of the LHC clock to all Pixel-Detector
components as well as interfacing the detector and the higher-level-readout optically. It is equipped
with three Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGAs, one BOC Control FPGA (BCF) and two BOC Main FPGAs
(BMF). The BMF are responsible for the signal processing of all incoming and outgoing data.
The data-path to the detector is running a 40 MHz bi-phase-mark encoded stream. This stream is
delayed by a fine delay block using Spartan-6 IODELAY primitives. The primitives are
reconfigured using partial reconfiguration inside the FPGA. The 160 MHz 8b10b-encoded data-path
from the detector is phase and word-aligned in the firmware and then forwarded to the ROD after
decoding. The ROD it will send out the processed data which is then forwarded to the higher-level
readout by the BOC card.
An overview of the firmware, which has been developed, will be presented together with the results
from production tests and the system test at CERN. One focus will be the partial reconfiguration
and the results of the fine delay measurements.
Summary
For the new innermost layer of the ATLAS Pixel-Detector at CERN new off-detector hardware
needs to be developed. The Back-Of-Crate card (BOC) is driving the optical interface to the
detector and distributing the LHC clock to all detector components. A brief overview of the
firmware and test results from production and system test will be presented.
