Introduction

The plots shown below have been approved by the NSW Project and may be shown by ATLAS speakers at conferences. Do not add plots on your own but contact the NSW project leader to arrange a plot approval.

Plot Approval Procedure

Plots and data concerning NSW detector performance, including test beam and/or module-0 results, can only be shown publicly if approved. Plots/results are approved by the NSW project leader after a discussion in the NSW Steering Group. Before requesting the approval of a plot, it should be presented, discussed and agreed on in the appropriate community, eg using the MicroMegas or sTGC Weekly meetings.

The official plot approval procedure is in place since October 2014, it was defined together with and endorsed by the Muon IB in its session on October 16 2014.

Public Plots

In the following, performance studies of Micromegas detectors performed with test-beams on several small (10x10 cm2) / medium(1x0.5 m2) size resistive chambers will be reported.
In particular the chambers that will be referred to are:
  • Tmm type bulk resistive MM(Tmm2,..., 6) with 10 cm x10 cm active area, with strips 150 μm wide and with a pitch of 250 μm. The resistive strips follow the readout strips geometry with resistivity 40 MOhm/cm. The woven stainless steel mesh structure has a wire diameter of 18 μm and is segmented in 400 lines/inch corresponding to a mesh pitch of &approx 63.5 μm. The support pillars have a diameter of 300 μm with a pitch of 2.5 mm.
  • Tmb similar to Tmm type. The support pillars have a diameter of 500 μm with a pitch of 5 mm.
  • T type bulk resistive MM (T1,..., T8) with 10 cm x 10 cm active area, readout strips 300 μm wide with 400 μm pitch. The resistive strips follow the readout strips geometry with resistivity 20 MOhm/cm. The woven stainless steel mesh structure has a wire diameter of 18 μm and is segmented in 400 lines/inch corresponding to a mesh pitch of 63.5μm. The drift electrode had also a mesh structure with a density of 325 lines/inch (wires of 30 μm diameter with a pitch of 80 μm).
  • TQF chamber similar to T type but with four areas of different resistive strip pattern with respect to the readout strips (normal, half pitch offset, -1 degree and +2 degrees rotation). The resistivity is a bit lower than the T 10 MOhm/cm
  • MMSW (MM for the Small Wheel): the first 4-layers prototype, 1 m x 0.5 m, in a configuration similar to that of the MM for the NSW. It has two planes with parallel strips (precision) and two planes with (stereo) strips rotated by (+/-) 1.5 degrees with respect to the precision ones for second coordinate measurement. The strip pitch is 415 μm and it has a "floating mesh" as opposed to the bulk technique. The mesh structure has a wire diameter of 30 μm and a pitch of 80 μm. The resistivity used in the resistive strips is 10 MOhm/cm.

All chambers have a 5 mm drift gap and a 128 μm amplification gap. When not explicitly specified the chambers were operated with a gas mixture of Ar+7%CO_2, a drift electrical field of 600 V/cm and an amplification HV in the range 540-580 V corresponding to a gain roughly 10000. The chambers are always readout with APV25 chips connected to the SRS system.

Fig. 2: Efficiency map
2D hit reconstruction in a Tmm chamber during a high statistics run. For this study the chamber was kept perpendicular to the beam axis. The hit position in both X and Y readouts is calculated using the centroid method and only events with a single cluster per readout (perpendicular tracks) are used. The inefficient spots appearing every 2.5 mm, corresponding to the pillar structure supporting the mesh of the chamber, are visible. Four different representations of the same plot are shown.
The measurements were performed with a Tmm type MM bulk resistive chamber operated with an amplification voltage of $HVamp = 540 V. The data were acquired during PS/T9 with a 10 GeV/c $&pi+/p beam.

Fig. 3: Spatial resolution of a single Micromegas chamber vs incident angle
Spatial resolution using the charge centroid method (blue triangles), the μTPC method (full red circles) and the combination of the two (black open circles)” as a function of the particle incident angle. The resolution is obtained from the residual distribution of the hit position difference between two Micromegas chambers separated by a small distance.		 mm_single_plane_spatial_resolution.png

Fig. 1: Performance of sTGC serializer: "Eye" diagram
The sTGC trigger data serializer (TDS) ASIC chip is responsible for the preparation of trigger data for both pads and strips with additional task of serializing data for transmission to the circuits on the rim of the NSW detector. The serializer is realized in IBM 130 nm CMOS technology. It is adapted from the CERN GBT serializer, with changed architecture from loading 120 bits at 40 MHz to loading 30 bits in parallel at 160 MHz. The serial output is at 4.8 Gbps. The eye diagram is evaluated in a 12.5 GHz bandwidth, 50 GS/s oscilloscope with a PRBS-31 pattern. The height of the eye is measured to be about 540 mV, and the width is about 180.3 ps. Jitter analysis shows that the total jitter at a bit-error-ratio (BER) of 1E-12 is 49.7 ps. A BER test with embedded PRBS checker inside a Xilinx 7 FPGA was also performed. An error free running of three days has been achieved, which corresponds to a BER less than 1 E-15.		 sTGC_serializer_performance.png
