Solid calorimeter test stand

EC test for SoLID

Preparation

• DAQ

     Hardware: Done! VME based: CPU(VxWorks) + TI + 2V792 + NIM modules ---> can handle 64 channels
     Software: CODA 2.6.2 is already installed, and configuration is done!
     To do: 
        An issue in boot script need to be fixed, Alex and I are working on it.
        Readout list(based on v792) should be modified to feed our needs, I am working on it

• 2D table: done!

     It can be operated interactively through serial connectors.

• MaPMT related issues:

     Yi is asking Carl for a H8500
     Cable to connect H8500 and V792, need to make new ones???
     H8500 ---> Socket: "SQT-118-01-L-D SAMTEC"; 2 rows, 18*2 pins, 16 pins for signal, 1 of no use, others are GND 
     V792 ---> Socket for "3431-5202 Header-type male connectors"; 17*2 pins, 16 pins for singal, 1 of no use, others are GND

• Black Box:

     Need a box which can host 2D motional table(rough size of table:50cm X 50cm X 50cm), build a new one???

• LED related issues:

     I have a LED controller on hand(from Alex), it is part of a integrated LED system, 
     where is the LED part, Alex?

Test plan in the early stage

• 1.Calibrate ADC channels

     Using a generator to produce a well known amplitude signal to calibrate ADC: ADC channel <-> Charge
     A generator is needed

• 2.Gain VS Voltage scan (H8500: -700V <---> -1100V)

     Relative gain VS voltage curve:
        Sinle channel measurement is enough
        Setup: LED -> fiber -> Any single pixel -> Readout
        Or no fiber: LED -> Any single pixel -> Readout
     Absolute gain calibration:
        Yi has a photon calibration tube, I can use it to calibrate the absolute gain.

• 3.Determine a low gain range for SoLID preshower

     Scintillator(with fiber) -> pixel -> Readout
     we can use cosmic ray to get the MIP peak and then define a low gain area for SoLID preshower.

• 4.Uniformity measurement at low gain case

     No fiber is needed in this test, open cathode
     Challenge: A uniform distributed light should be produced -> need to figure out,Yi has experience on this
     Setup: Uniform light -> open cathode -> 64 channels readout -> uniformity

• 5.Cross talk measurement

     Size of a Pixel: 5.8mm X 5.8mm
     Setup: LED -> fiber -> pixel -> readout(surrounded pixels)
     As suggested by Yi, do a position dependent cross-talk study ---> scan fiber within a pixel to see the cross-talk effect
