PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大) 光検出器としてのテスト @Weizmann Gas gain Stainless steel box Pumped to 10-6 before gas filling Fe55 x-ray UV lamp Gains in excess of 104 are easily attainable Voltage for CF4 is ~140 V higher than for Ar/CO2 but slopes are similar for both gases Gain increases by factor ~3 for ΔV = 20V Pretty good agreement between gain measured with Fe55 and UV lamp Measurements: * Fe55 x-rays * Am241  source * UV lamp GEM foils of 3x3, 10x10 and 25x25 cm2 produced at CERN 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

Cosmic ray tests: Experimental Set-up Cosmic trigger S1.S2.S4 C: CO2 radiator pth  3.8 GeV 1.30 m long rate  1/min C Cherenkov response to S1.S2.S4 S4 S1.S2.S4.C  mip S1.S2.S4.C  “electron” triple GEM + CsI test with Fe55, UV lamp,  50 cm long directly coupled to detector Detector Box CF4 Radiator S1,S2 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

response to “electrons” Signal = mip + Cherenkov photons ED = 1 KV/cm (“collection”) ED = -0.5 KV/cm (“repulsion”) Signal = Cherenkov photons Signal collected in pad 5 + any All spectra calibrated into pe using the response to Fe55 x-rays. 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大) @Weizmann

Discharge Probability ΔVGEM Small GEMs: 3x3 cm2 Discharge Probability Stability of operation and absence of discharges in the presence of heavily ionizing particles is crucial for the operation of the HBD Use Am241 to simulate heavily ionizing particles In Ar-CO2, discharges increase sharply when total charge is close to the Raether limit of 108 ΔVGEM HV segmented GEMs 10x10 cm2 In CF4 discharges do not depend on the presence of  particles. It seems that local defects are responsible for the discharges CF4 more robust against discharges than Ar/CO2 HBD expected to operate at gains < 104 i.e. with comfortable margin below the discharge threshold 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大) @Weizmann

Ion back-flow Independent of gas Independent of Et Depends only on EI (at low EI some charge is collected at the bottom face of GEM3) Mesh GEM1 GEM2 GEM3 PCB 1.5mm 2mm Absorber CsI pA Hg lamp E=0 Fraction of ion back-flow defined here as: Iphc / IPCB This is an upper limit. The exact definition should be: I_phc / ( I_PCB + I_GEM-bottom. Ions seem to follow the electric field lines. In all cases, ion back-flow is of order 1!!! 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大) @Weizmann

Aging CsI photocathode: GEM foils: * In spite of the large ion back-flow there is no dramatic deterioration of the CsI QE. * For a total irradiation of ~10mC/cm2 , the QE drops by only 20%. (The total charge in 10 years of PHENIX operation is conservatively estimated to 1mC/cm2.) Stability measurements performed during day 3 (4 mC/cm2 ), day 4 (3 mC/cm2 ), day 5 (2 mC/cm2 ). GEM foils: * During the whole R&D period we never observed aging effects (e.g. loss of gain) on the GEM foils. Total irradiation was well in excess of 10mC/cm2 . 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大) @Weizmann

Hadron Blindness (I): UV photons vs.  particles @Weizmann At slightly negative ED, photoelectron detection efficiency is preserved whereas charge collection is largely suppressed. 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

Hadron Blindness (II) :response to mip @KEK ED = 1 KV/cm (“collection”) ED = -0.5 KV/cm (“repulsion”) 98-99% of events have single pad response. Suppression limited by ionization between GEM1 and GEM2.  Asymmetric operation GEM2 GEM3 PCB GEM1 Suppressed ionization Full charge collection ED = 0 Average amplitude dropped by a factor of ~2.5 and rate dropped by a factor of 12 Strong Hadron Suppression 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

GEM foils of 3x3 and 10x10 cm2 produced at CERN Weizmannでのテスト Detector Box 50 cm long CF4 Radiator Detector box D2 UV Lamp Overall Set-up Add note: many measurements done with Ar/Co2 for comparison GEM foils of 3x3 and 10x10 cm2 produced at CERN 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大) Gain Curve: Triple GEM with CsI in CF4: measured with Fe55 and with UV lamp Pretty good agreement between gain measured with Fe55 and UV lamp. Gains in excess of 104 are easily attainable. Voltage for CF4 is ~140 V higher than for Ar/CO2 but slopes are similar for both gases. Gain increases by factor ~3 for ΔV = 20V Fe55 x-ray UV lamp 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

Total Charge in Avalanche in Ar-CO2 and CF4 measured with Am241 Charge saturation in CF4 !!! When the total charge in CF4 exceeds 4 x 106 a deviation from exponential growth is observed leading to gain saturation when the total charge is ~2 x 107. 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

Extrapolation to 11.5 eV: N0 ≈ 820 cm-1 CsI absolute QE CsI on GEM Calibrated PMT Many measurements of CsI QE in 6-8 eV range No data beyond 8.3 eV Measurements extended to 10.3 eV confirm ~linear behavior of QE Bandwidth: 6.2 – 10.3 eV PMT and CsI have same solid angle C1 optical transparency of mesh (81%) C2 opacity of GEM foil (83.3%) All currents are normalized to I(PMT-0) QE(CsI) = QE(PMT) x I(CsI) / [ I(PMT) x C1 x C2 ] Extrapolation to 11.5 eV: N0 ≈ 820 cm-1 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

Discharge Probability vs. ΔVGEM vs. Gain Stability of operation and absence of discharges in the presence of heavily ionizing particles is crucial for the operation of the HBD. Use Am241 to simulate heavily ionizing particles. In Ar-CO2, the discharge threshold is close to the Raether limit (at 108), whereas in CF4 the discharge threshold seems to depend on GEM quality and occurs at voltages VGEM 560-600V CF4 more robust against discharges than Ar/CO2 . HBD expected to operate at gains < 104 i.e. with very comfortable margin below the discharge threshold 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

Charge Collection in Drift Gap : Mean Amplitude Rate At ED = 0: - signal drops dramatically as anticipated. - rate also drops dramatically large hadron suppression 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

Gas Quality Before and After Test Water “peaks” There were no means to test the gas quality during the test, however we did test the gas quality before and after the test, under more or less the same conditions (i.e., similar purging period and flow rates).

PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大) CsI Photocathode B.Azmoun Photocathode (produced at Stony Brook) was stored in a sealed vessel filled with N2 (but possibly not the best environment) for two weeks prior to the test, and may have suffered some additional deterioration during its installation into the detector (we have no glove box !!). The last time the GEM PC was measured, its integrated QE was ~ half that of the nominal value. 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

CsI蒸着(Stony Brookの研究室の例) Objective: To develop and test the technique of CsI evaporation at Stony Brook for production of CsI coated GEM foils for HBD prototypes and possibly even the final detector. Method Use high purity CsI (Scintillator grade) High Vacuum (1E-7 Torr) [diffusion pump w/ N2 trap] Thoroughly clean vessel and all components Bake the CsI Mask substrates Evaporate very small amount of CsI This vaporizes any contaminants on molybdenum boat and/or outer surface of CsI crystals Vessel walls coated with CsI will also act as a “getter” Warm up substrates before, during and after evaporation Withholds water and contaminants from condensing onto the substrates before deposition, and onto the CsI after deposition Thickness monitor Quartz crystal oscillator, Al foil control substrate Transportation/ Storage of Photocathodes (vacuum, gas flow) 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)

Dimensions of Evaporator Vessel Max. Height ~80cm Scaffolding: Photocathode substrate/Thickness monitors Bell Jar Diameter ~ 43cm mask Electrodes/CsI crystal/ Molybdenum Boat 理研(放射線研)との協力で同様なものを進めていく予定。 2005/12/27 PHENIX ws@RIKEN 小沢恭一郎(東大)
