Possibility of G-APD for RICH
  • To improve S/N
  • Increase the number of signal hits/sensor by
    using light collectors (with optimization of pad
    size to the ring thickness).
  • Reduce the noise by a narrow time window (lt10ns).
  • Light collector serves as a light emitter for
    TOF measurement.

10
G-APD Characterization
  • Measured Items
  • Photon-counting performance
  • Timing property
  • Use of timing for random noise rejection
  • also for TOF measurement
  • Photo-Detection Efficiency
  • As a function of l
  • Noise Performance

Performance PDE
  • Photo Detection Efficiency

45 at peak (460nm)
P.D.E. ()
  • Higher efficiency at peak and long wave length,
    compared to conventional PMTs.
  • Our result is consistent with HPK.
  • Need confirmation by photo-counting to
    disentangle the effects of cross talks and
    after-pulses.

13
Performance Gain vs Noise
  • Recent HPK products have much lower noise rate
  • lt 1/3 at the same gain.

Expected RICH Performance
The simulation is adjusted to reproduce beam test
results with multi-anode PMT.
  • A photosensor based on Light-guide Geiger-mode
    APD can give x 4 Npe (number of detected
    photons).

Should be corrected for cross talk / after-pulse
contribution (because PDE based DC current
measurement is used here).
24
Effect of Noise
  • Random background embeded in a simulation.
  • Assume Npe 20 / ring (conservatively)

Noise rate (HPK-100) 200KHz/mm2 _at_ 106 gain.

25
Summary
  • Geiger-mode APD is very attractive device as a
    photosensor for a RICH with aerogel radiator.
  • High PDE ? Significant increase in Npe (x 4
    possible).
  • Good time resolution (s100ps /p.e.) ? RICH w/
    TOF
  • Free from magnetic field ? Large advantage !
  • Noise rate has been reduced significantly and in
    a tolerable region (lt1MHz/pad) for recent
    products from HPK .
  • ? Very encouraging !
  • Light colletction based on tapered lightguide
    (lens) will be useful to increase the detection
    area, and hence improve S/N.
  • Devices with larger size (?35mm) are highly
    welcome.
  • We are starting to measure ?3mm sample from HPK.

  • HPK starts to provide 3x3mm2 samples.
  • Better understanding of critical properties.
  • Feedback to producers.
  • Light-guide design
  • Measurements with a test sample.
  • Method to produce the assembly.
  • How to make the light-guide (LG) array.
  • Optical connection between LG and SiPM/MPPC.
