TestBeamOct2017

Contents:


This section will summarize the main documents, informations and results of the October 2017 testbeam. A fiber based telescope was installed in the testbeam area (Prévessins site).

  • The layout is presented below .
  • The data can be found on the LPHE cluster under /panfs/scifi_testbeam/Oct2017 --- TO BE CONFIRMED . The data files were renamed to correspond to the software standard.

Run plan

This chapter focuses on the measurement planned and the status.

Open issues

  • X1 (6 layer mat) has larger cluster size: 2.7ch for LY=33.3 PE. As a comparison, Y1 (6 layer mat) has cluster size: 2.45ch for LY 33.3 PE. Maybe due to an air gap between SiPM and fibre mat.
  • btsoftware_analysis: we don't find where the result root files (for clusters and track) are written...

Over-voltage scan

Default z-position is: 268mm between Y2 and X3 (measured after all dV scans with the laser).

1) Fix telescope stations 1,2,4 and 5 to 3.5V and vary the over-voltage of station 3 from dV=1.5V to 7V every 0.5V

These measurements are finished (07.10 early morning). TO BE CONFIRMED by the analysis that the data is ok. Remarks:

  • In runs 4, 5, 6, 11, 15, we detected with the event display of lect_sipm a desynchronisation (generally of boards 10 and/or 15). It seems that station 3 is one event in advance wrt the other stations.
  • In all runs almost, Y1 has a lower gain.
  • X1 has larger cluster size, maybe due to a gap between the SiPM and the mat.
  • At high dV, the bts preAnalysis doesn't manage to compute correctly the ADC gain for X3.

Telescope mechanics and read-out

Telescope layout

The telescope is based on scintillating fibers coupled to SiPMs. The fibers are 10cm long. The telescope is composed by 5 detection planes (called stations) each composed by two layers (x and y).

  • Position of the stations (confirm the position of the DUT and the distance between the two boxes):

  • A plan of the stations as set for Hamburg: TBea.pdf

SIPMs used

A convention is used to shorten the old names of the SiPMs. OF1030322 stands for A whereas OF1029927 for B, the associated number are given after the hyphen. For example, OF1030322-0014 is called 14A.

The following graph shows the breakdown voltage for the SPMs:

The data can be found at the following address: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-fBU3suWFYOL7Al4hKDNKX5qZZaz1qmdy5NHqZs_sbY/edit#gid=0

The applied overvoltage is of 3.5V.

USB Boards

We use "old" USB boards for the VATA front-ends (all stations except Y3) and a new USB board for the spiroc front-end. The applied bias for the VATA front-ends is done with the CAEN whereas for the spiroc it is done with a Keithley source (which has a bias offset of 4.4V)

DAQ machine

Taking data on lphe1-daq-scifi-telescope

To take data, source the file /home/lphe-lphp/sw/scifiusbboard/SetupUsbBoard.sh and go to /home/lphe-lphp/sw/scifiusbboard/Builds/

readoutTest

Launch readoutTest with: ./readoutTest < nevents > <path/to/config/files> <output.root>

  • <path/to/config/files> = /home/lphe-lphp/telescope_config_files/cfg_TestBeamOct2017_Dark
  • <output.root> = /home/lphe-lphp/scifi-data/TestBeamDataOct2017/Testbeam_Telescope/"directory"/<name.root>
    • Run data must be stored in "directory" = Telescope_Rawdata and <name.root> must follow the convention (x = run number):
      • btsoftware_10000000xx_datarun.root for particle runs
      • btsoftware_100000000x_calib_dark.root for pedestal (or dark) runs
      • btsoftware_1000000xxx_calib_led.root for LED runs
    • Test data can be put in "directory" = test_data
  • Example:
    • ./readoutTest 100000 /home/lphe-lphp/telescope_config_files/cfg_TestBeamOct2017_Dark /home/lphe-lphp/scifi-data/TestBeamDataOct2017/Testbeam_Telescope/Telescope_Rawdata/btsoftware_10000xxxx0_datarun.root

Configuration files

The configuration files are:

  • one "boardxx.cfg" for each board (xx = 10, 12, 15, 30):
    • pathToUsbBoardFirmware is /home/lphe-lphp/telescope_config_files/cfg_TestBeamOct2017_Dark/va32_readout_top_v28.rbf for old USBBoards (conntains the event timestamp) and /home/lphe-lphp/sw/scifiusbboard/firmware/USB_Board_TOP_v17.rbf for NewUSBBoard
    • eventsPerAccess must be set to 4 (maximum value for the new USBBoard)
    • TriggerType is external (selfTriggerEnable is 0), all triggers are given with an external system, even pedestal, dark and LED.
    • HoldDelayTime is 8 for OldUSBBoards with VATA64V2 and 0 for NewUSBBoard with Spiroc
    • executeFrondEndBoardConfiguration must be set to one for uplinks connnected to a VATA64V2
  • VATA64V2_uplinkxxx.cfg for each uplink connecting a VATA64 chip:
    • slow shaper is set in low gain mode but not pre-amplifier (Lgs = 1, Lg = 0)
    • DACs are ON for stations 1, 2, 4, 5 (X and Y), DAC values were adjusted from ADC gain measurement and iterative process (described in other section)

Data visualization

Visualize the data with: ./lect_sipm_all -S < setup file > -p <pedestal.root> -s <signal.root> -options

  • < setup file > = ../cfgFiles/setup_lectsipmall.txt
    • In the setup file, you can comment out SiPMs you don't want to display. You can set their name, uplink IDs and ADC gain for basic clustering.
  • options:
    • P : write the ADC distribution histograms for each channel in a root file (used for DAC computation)
    • C : basic clustering performed (set a correct value for the ADC gain in the setup file)
    • E : event display for one event. The program will keep asking you a new event number to display. To quit, type any other key than a number.
  • Example:
    • ./lect_sipm_all -S ../cfgFiles/setup_lectsipmall.txt -p /home/lphe-lphp/scifi-data/TestBeamDataOct2017/Testbeam_Telescope/Telescope_Rawdata/btsoftware_1000000xx0_calib_dark.root -s /home/lphe-lphp/scifi-data/TestBeamDataOct2017/Testbeam_Telescope/Telescope_Rawdata/btsoftware_10000xxxx0_datarun.root

Tasks

1. Alignment of the telescope

  • settle the z position of the boxes
  • the stations should be centered with respect to the beam
  • alignment must be done
  • measure the gap inefficiency of SiPMs

2. Fix stations 1,2, ,4,5 to 3.5V overvoltage and vary the overvoltage of station 3 from 1.5 V to 7.0 V with 0.5 V step

  • Study the dependence on overvoltage
  • Measure efficiency and resolution
  • Exploring clustering algorithm (also add simulated noise to the data)

3. Vary stations 1,2, ,4,5 and fix station

  • Similar measurement as point 2.

4. [To be discussed]

5. Change the beam position [in z-direction]

6. Use black sheet for measuring a reflectivity

  • Dark - LED OFF / Sci OFF
  • LED - LED ON / Sci OFF
