2Introduction
- LC physics topics
- Distinguish W from Z in two jet final states ?
Good jet mass resolution - Higher Jet energy resolution
- Excellent jet angular resolution
- Energy flow algorithm is one of the solutions
- Replace charged track energy with momentum
measured in the tracking system - Requires efficient removal of associated energy
cluster ? Good position resolution - Higher calorimeter granularity
- Use calorimeter only for neutral particle
energies - Best known method for jet energy resolution
improvement - Large number of readout channel will drive up the
cost for analogue style energy measurement ?
Digital HCAL - Tracking calorimeter with high gain sensitive gap
3Goals for UTA DHCAL Development
- Develop digital hadron calorimetry for use with
EFA - Aim for cost effectiveness and high granularity
- Look for a good tracking device for the sensitive
gap - Develop GEM cell(s) and prototype
- Develop module/stack design for EFA optimization
- Simulate GEM behavior in calorimeter
- Implement GEM readout structure into simulation
- Develop EF and calorimeter tracking algorithms
- Cost effective, large scale GEM DHCAL
4Why GEM?
- GEM developed by F. Sauli (CERN) for use as
pre-amplification stage for MSGCs - Allow flexible and geometrical design, using
printed circuit readout ? Can be as fine a
readout as GEM tracking chamber!! - High gains, above 104,with spark probabilities
per incident ? less than 10-10 - Fast response
- 40ns drift time for 3mm gap with ArCO2
- Relatively low HV
- A few 100V per each GEM gap compared to 10-16kV
for RPC - Rather reasonable cost
- Foils are basically copper-clad kapton
- 400 for a specially prepared and framed
10cmx10cm foil

7Double GEM DHCAL Design
8Double GEM test chamber
- Sufficient space for foil manipulation
- Readout feed-through, retaining large space for
ease of connection - Clear cover to allow easy monitoring
- Readout pads connection at the top

Drift gap
HV fed from one supply but individually adjusted
? Good to prevent HV damage on the foils

Transfer gap
Induction gap
10UTA GEM Prototype Status
- Readout circuit board (2cmx2cm pads) constructed
- HV Connection implemented
- Two GEM foils in the UTA Nano fabrication
facility cleanroom - Preamp in hand and characterization completed
(LeCroy HQV800)
Amplification factor of 300 for 5xGEM size signal
(LeCroy HQV800 )

12Single GEM gain/discharge probability
- Simulation study in progress using single pions
before multi-jets - Determine Maximum total charge deposit in a cell
of various sizes and gains - Study fake signal from spiraling charged particle
in the gap

13UTA Simulation Status
- Two masters students have been working on this
project - Pandora-Phythia implementation and HEPEvt ASCII
output in place - Mokka successfully installed
- Mokka Geometry database downloaded and installed
at UTA - Completed single pion studies using default
geometry - Reproduced expected response
- Energy resolution seems to be reasonable also
- Preliminary mixture GEM geometry implemented
- Single pion study with mixture GEM begun
- Root macro and JAS based analysis packages
developed - Proceed with more detailed GEM geometry
implementation
14Single Pion Studies w/ Default TESLA Geometry
- Single pion events using Mokka particle gun
command. - Incident energy range 5 200GeV
- kinematics information on primary particles in
the files - Developed an analysis program to read total
energies deposited per pion for each incident
energy. - Mean Energy vs Incident pion energies
- Energy conversion from the slope of the straight
line - Conversion factor is 3.47 and agrees with the
computed sampling fraction
15TESLA TDR Geometry
- Ecal Electromagnetic Calorimeter Material
W/G10/Si/G10 plates (in yellow) - 1mm W absorber plates
- 0.5 mm thick Si, embeded 2 G10 plates of 0.8 mm
each
- Hcal Hadronic Calorimeter
- Material
- 18 mm of Fe
- 6.5 mm of Polystyrene scintillator (in green)
16TESLA TDR detector live energy deposit for single
pions
17TESLA TDR Elive vs Ep
18TESLA TDR CAL Single Pion Resolution
19GEM Simulation Status
- Mokka Geometry database downloaded and installed
at UTA - New Geometry driver written ? Mixture GEM
geometry implemented ?Need to use ArCO2 only - Single pion study begun for discharge probability
- Initial study shows that the number of electron,
ion pair with gain of 104 will be on the order of
107 for single 200GeV pions - Getting pretty close to the 108 from other
studies ? Might get worse for jets from W pairs,
due to fluctuation - Need more studies to compute the discharge
probability. - Cell energy deposit being investigated to
determine optimal threshold based on cell energy
? Proceed to energy resolution studies - Determine optimal gain using live energy deposit
vs incident energy
20GEM Prototype Geometry
21GEM Geometry Implementation Mechanics in Mokka
- TDR / Hcal02 Model chosen for modification
- Fe-GEM sub-detector instead of the existing
Fe-Scintillator - New driver for the HCal02 sub-detector module
- Local database connectivity for HCal02 ? Database
downloaded and implemented at UTA

22Single Pion Cell Energy Deposit in GEM HCal
23Single pion Energy with GEM
50GeV p ELive
15GeV p EMeas
10.6MeV
24GEM Sampling Weight
Sampling 24x10-3
Statistics too low to produce reliable gaussian
fit ? This depends heavily on EM section without
proper GEM gain factor taken into account.
25Summary
- Hardware prototype making significant progress
- GEM foils delivered and are in the clean room for
safe keeping - Preamp and Discriminator in hands ? Preamp
characterized - HV System implemented
- Readout Pad implemented
- Almost ready to put GEM foils in the prototype
box - GEM foil mass production being looked into by 3M
in Austin, Texas - Simulation effort made a marked progress
- Single pion study of Mokka default TESLA TDR
geometry complete - Analysis tools in place and seem to work well
- The resolution seems to be reasonable
- Preliminary GEM Mixture geometry implemented
- Need to redo the response study with gain
factored in - Initial estimate of eIon pair seems to be at
about 107 for 200GeV pions - Local Geometry database implemented
- Optimal threshold for digitization and gain
factor will come soon - Will soon move onto realistic events, WW, ZZ, or
tt ? jets - Still ways to go before effective EFA and TRKA
studies
