1 Fast Photon Detection for the COMPASS RICH Detector COMPASS Christian Schill Universität Freiburg, Physikalisches Institut on behalf of the COMPASS RICH Upgrade Group Introduction Motivation of the RICH upgrade Design & construction of the fast RICH detector: - fused silica lenses and multi-anode photomultipliers - dead-time free read-out electronics based on F1 TDC First 2006 detector data Innovative Particle and Radiation Detectors - Siena 2006

2 The COMPASS Experiment COmmon Muon Proton Apparatus for Structure and Spectroscopy (270 physicists, 25 institutes, 11 countries) Investigation of the spin structure of the nucleon: high luminosity: ~ 4 ٠ cm -2 s -1 fixed target high energy µ + or hadron beams LHC COMPASS SPS

3 The COMPASS spectrometer µ Filter Calorimeters Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector 50 m µ beam Target Micromegas Silicon Gems SciFi Drift chambers Straws MWPC coverage of wide kinematic range: 10-5 < x < < Q 2 < 100 GeV 2 excellent particle identification: reconstruction of D-mesons

4 RICH before upgrade 3 m 6 m vessel photon detectors: CsI MWPC mirror wall 5 m radiator: C 4 F 10 radiator gas: C 4 F 10 mirrors: 20 m 2 surface photon-detectors: multi-wire proportional chambers with CsI-photocathodes angular acceptance: ± 250 mrad horizontal, ± 200 mrad vertical read-out: channels

5 Motivation of the RICH upgrade Previous read-out: MWPC+Gassiplex-chip, integration time 3 µs In the centre: overlap of many events µhalo Experimental environment: large photon flux in the centre (µ-halo) many overlapping rings in the centre New photon detection with MAPMT: excellent time resolution ( 1 ns) halo muon rings rejected using the time information In addition: high rate operation increased trigger rates: previously: 20 khz now up to: 100 khz overlay of many events no dead time (previously: 4.7 µs)

6 Upgrade of the RICH detector Central CsI photocathodes replaced by multianode photomultipliers with lens telescopes 576 MAPMT Individual lens telescopes Readout: MAD4 chip and high resolution F1 TDC new readout electronics with APV chips for the outer part time resolution: 4 µs 400 ns

7 New APV readout of MWPC fast readout system based on the APV analogue preamplifier connected to 12 bit pipeline ADCs 3 amplitude samples per trigger > reconstruction of hit time low deadtime readout rates up to 100 khz possible ADC card frontend cards with APV chips

8 RICH upgrade with MAPMT Expected performances: CsI MAPMT N ph /ring (before 14) at saturation σ ring 0.4 mrad (0.6 mrad) theta (mrad) theta(mrad) vs p (GeV/c) - pion, kaon K p (GeV/c) PID capability extended by increase in number of γ π 2σ π/k separation up to p 50 GeV/c (before p 40 GeV/c)

9 Hamamatsu H M16 photomultiplier number of detected Cherenkov photons increased compared to CsI-photocathodes: larger wavelength range 2 cm bialkali photocathode 18 x 18 mm 2 active area 16 pixel (4.5 x 4.5 mm) UV transparent borosilicate glass window 300 ps time resolution PMT

10 Shielding of the spectrometer magnet field PMT in soft iron box Shielding from the residual field of the 2 Tesla open spectrometer magnet few meters away (fringe field at PMT location 200 G) bialkali photocathode 18 x 18 mm 2 active area 16 pixel (4.5 x 4.5 mm) UV transparent borosilicate glass window 300 ps time resolution PMT

11 576 lens-telescopes 16-channel photomultiplier lenses, spherical surfaces aspherical surface planar surface focussing of Cherenkov photons on MAPMTs (factor 7) > 12 x 12 mm effective pixels 2 Lens-system: UV-transparent quartz lenses large geometrical acceptance (± 9.5 ) optimized by MC-Simulation γ 5 cm

12 Analogue read-out electronics: MAD4 preamplifier up to 1 MHz / channel low noise 5-7 fc single photon PMT signal 1 pc (at 900 V) clear separation signal / noise further development by INFN TORINO: CMAD in 2007 up to 5 MHz / channel MAD4 card 4 cm input signal: 100 fc 1 pc

13 Digital read-out electronics: DREISAM card 64 channels per card, compact solution optical data transfer (40 MByte/s) high rates per channel khz trigger rate time resolution < 120 ps based on dead time free F1-TDC complete digitalisation on the detector Connector to MAD4 8 F1-TDCs

14 Read-out electronics of the MAPMTs ¼ of PMT detector DREISAM (TDC-F1) MAD4 & roof boards water cooling MAPMT 60 cm 60 cm

15 Installation of full detector ½or RICH detector Full detector assembled, installed & commissioned Successfull data taking since July 2006

16 First look on 2006 RICH data number of photons time spectrum excellent background suppression Cherenkov photons from physics events channel in y Cherenkov rings 1000 photons from µ-halo ns time of Cherenkovphoton rel. to trigger physics event with several hadrons with Cherenkov rings channel in x

17 Summary Performance of the upgraded MAPMT-RICH (2006 data, preliminary): Number of photons per ring at saturation: 65 (before 14) Time resolution: 1 ns (3 µs) Ring resolution: 0.36 mrad (0.6 mrad) Excellent suppression of background from µ-halo preliminary 2006 Excellent performance of the upgraded RICH stay tuned for many interesting physics results from COMPASS
