Prototype for EM Calorimeter One Layer : Tungsten 20cm X 20cm X 0.3cm (example) Scintillator 1cm X 20cm X 0.2cm X 20 strips

Total : 30 Layers (~ 26 Xo)

The R&D of prototype includes scintillator, SiPM and DAQ system

Basic Configuration

Tungsten

Scintillator

1. Survey almost done for the last several monthsScintillator, W/W-Ni(or other alloy), SiPM, Closely collaborate with Japan group• Scintillator:

R&D with Misung Chemical Company Ltd.• Tungsten:

R&D with TaeguTek Ltd• SiPM:

R&D with ETRI

2. SiPM/Tile R&D has been just started

3. Simulation is going on

Current R&D Status

• The scintillator bars(or strips) for R&D purpose expect to be produced during this semester

• Make sure proper chemical processes

• Compare light yield with commercially available scintillators

• Design of scintillator strip for LC prototype will be underway• Cost

Cast - $40-60 / kg Extrusion - $3.5-7 / kg

Scintillator

Low cost plastic Scintillator

• Extruded plastic scintillator materials - low cost :o Polymer pellets or powder must be used - Commercial polystyrene pellets are available and cheap

- Component: Polystyrene pellets + Dopants(primary & secondary) - Primary dopants : PT, PPO -> 1-1.5% concentration - Secondary dopants: POPOP, bis-MSB -> 0.01-0.03% concentration

- The extrusion process can manufacture any shape

o Some disadvantage - Poor optical quality because of

• the high particulate matter content in the polystyrene pellets • The rapid cool-down cycle leaves the final material stressed.

→ This stress can lead to non-absorptive optical distortions in the material that degrade the attenuation length

o We need more R&D

Extrusion Process(conventional)

Extrusion Process

All the work is done at one facility → reduces costs By removing its exposure to another high temperature cycle → reduces hits history of the product → eliminates an additional chance for scintillator degradation

Scintillator

Extruder

Example of the Extruder

Current status for fabrication

• Preparation design and process during this semester - simulation of electric field in Geiger and drift region - wafer and mask - fabracation process R&D

• Try to make sensor chip using FAB facility at ETRI. ETRI : Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute

Process R&D

• To get parameters : geometrical and chemical parameter s Simulation using TCAD• R&D FAB : 5 ~6 times / year• Packaging , attaching with WLS fiber

Photo sensor – SiPM(Silicon Photomultiplier)

DAQ system

The proto type has 30 layers(~26 Xo), one layer consists of 20 scintillator bars and tungsten plate the prototype needs 600 read out channels

We have to think of how to manage these channels Probably, VME or CAMAC system are not good solution for beam test for 600 channels.

So, the design of electronics and interface with computer is required.

We are considering R&D of electronics for QDC, TDC and USB2 for interface with computer. need cowork with Japan group

Simulation

Start simulation with different passive absorber configurations

Mokka and susygen 3.0

What to do and Future plan

Producing Extruded scintillator -> 1st prototype in April Fabricating sample of SiPM How to manage DAQ system for prototype Simulation for the thickness of scintillaor = 25 , 30mm Simulation for alloy with different ratio for W:Pb and W:Ni Optimize the ratio of thickness for Absorber and Scin and absorber material.
