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.
