15th CBM collaboration meeting, April 12th, 2010

OutlineOutline
Demonstrators tested so far. n-XYTER energy calibration. ADC response. Pedestal position and effective amplitudes
of -peaks. Pedestal profile dependence on current
consumption. Crosstalk studies.

The demonstratorsThe demonstratorsFEB rev. B:• Every second channel bondable.• Still good for lab tests for timing studies or ADC response (without clustering).FEB rev. C:• All channels are usable• But thermal stability becomes an issue.Detector-FEB cable:• Turns out to work if shielded properly.Detectors of CBM01 and CBM02 type “behave” similarly (bad), poor charge collection at n-sides.FEB 4nx:• Cooling plates improve thermal stability• Problems with surviving potential of the chips on board.• Beam time : vastly different count rates in different stations caused by the beam.
Conclusion: depletion conditions should be controlled carefully.

Energy calibrationEnergy calibrationis important for beam time data analysis and
estimates of signal-to-noise performance, charge collection efficiency, etc.
Cons: capacitance is small => strongly depends on stray capacitance.
CV Q
Q=C∙V
Create known voltage step over known capacitance
Use x-rays with Si strip detector
Pros: well defined energy. Range of 59 keV electrons
is ~ 15 μm => full energy is absorbed.
5
Energy calibration with Energy calibration with 241241AmAmUsing 300 μm pitch detector => no significant charge sharing
Energy gain = 110.6 e-/ADC cnt+ one can obtain pedestal energy (not necessarily zero)
Noise 460 e- @ 6 pF
6
Calibration lineCalibration line
Energy calibration is obtained, but extrapolated pedestal amplitude is ~3 kElectrons. Possible reasons: non-linearity, bias due to peak detector.

Peak detect & hold circuit “remembers” the maximum amplitude and keeps it until it is transferred to analog FIFO.

Crosstalk is not related to activity in neighboring channel,but to number of active channels => Non-local effect

Change test pulse height (cal setting)
cal = 256
Very small effect of amplitude seen => Mostly digital effect

Crosstalk problem – using laser pulsesCrosstalk problem – using laser pulses
XT - signal transmitted in one channel creates undesired effect in another channel.
Crosstalk in detector vs. crosstalk in read-out chip. n-XYTER review meeting: December 11th, 2009. The way to go: create signals using laser in isolated
channels, look for the response in neighboring channels.

Method: look at signal peak mean Method: look at signal peak mean and RMS with noise presentand RMS with noise present
High noise Low noise
With low noise in the channel of interest the observed effects are With low noise in the channel of interest the observed effects are caused by increased occupancy in other channelscaused by increased occupancy in other channels

Conclusions I
Energy calibration has been done.
Energy gain = 110 e-/ADC count.
Pedestal “amplitude” depends on VbiasS voltage.
Conditions for pedestal zero “amplitude” have been determined, but then the dynamic range is reduced.
24
N-XYTER Gain depends on VbiasS voltage.
“Sag” in pedestal profile depends on chip power consumption => to be addressed in n-XYTER engineering run.
Crosstalk in the chip has digital nature and depends on overall chip activity.

Conclusions III – Demonstrator Systems Problems with charge collection in CBM01
and CBM02 – need to control sensor bias. Front-end boards: no operational 4nx-
boards and few 1nx-bords are left (this poses a threat to the upcoming beam time).
