Optics Summary• Laser
• Laser characterization (profile, intensity, stability, noise) completed (Alex Jousse/Xiaochao)
• Unfortunately, the prometheus laser reaches only 25% of rated power• The beam is multi-mode and highly elliptic:( Alex is working on “beam circularization”• The laser is to be returned to Innolight (Germany) to bring it back to factory specs => 4
- 6 Weeks down time.
• Alignment• Cavity mirror alignment with red HeNe laser works• High resolution motorized mirror alignment and beam steering implemented (David
Jacobs)• LabView control interface developed
• Cavity• Prototype Cavity demonstrates strong TEM00 resonance• Production cavity being assembled and vacuum tested (Greg Marble)
• PDH Lock• Software Slow ramp frequency scan implemented (Sue Witherspoon)• Frequency modulation tests in progress

Prometheus Laser Power
• We have done a complete scan of Pump Diode current, Nd:YAG temp and PP-KTP temp
• The best power we could achieve is around 20-30 mW.

New Electron Detector
• Electron Detector (Bernard Michelle)• New MOU with LPC Clermont-Ferrand signed• LPC takes responsibility for a new high resolution electron detector• Will contribute 1 physicist, 1 engineer, 2 designer/techs• The new detector will be compatible with “12 GeV” machine upgrade
• Specification• 768 ch 240 m pitch silicon strips• 4 Planes, 192 strips/plane, 1 cm spacing between planes• 120 mm Vertical motion to allow full coverage of Compton Edge from
0.8-11 GeV• New custom front-end, FPGA trigger module (M. Brossard)• New DAQ Software (Alex Camsonne)

Electron Detector Status
Detector
• Silicon micro-strip design finalized
• RFQ from Canberra systems for procurement in progress
Mechanical
• Preliminary mechanical design completed
• Interference with photon detector being addressed
• Installation plan with AES in development
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator FacilityS. Nanda, July 28, 2006 20
Photon Detector
• Issues• Present calorimeter is 5x5 array of PbWo crystals. Each crystal now is 2x2x23 cm. Not have
enough Mollier width to catch the whole shower in one crystal => Complicated response function analysis.
• The crystals matrix is housed in a temp. controlled enclosure taking up precious real estate. Temp stabilization is not used.
• New electron detector chamber interferes with present photon calorimeter• Moving the photon calorimeter upstream by 40 cm will work for 6GeV program, but a logistical
nightmare• For 12 GeV operation, the photon detector will move up by 10 cm. The present calorimeter will
interfere with beam line in addition to electron detector.
• New Photon Calorimeter• Single block with 3 or 4 Mollier radius wide and 22 rad length deep and a single PMT.• Preserve counting capabilities. Time response has to be less than 120 ns • 8x8x23 cm single block PbWo in a compact enclosure and side coupled PMT• Study and conceptual design required
• Integrating DAQ for improved systematic errors• Flash ADC in lieu of analog electronics under evaluation• Bob Michaels and Rich Holmes are working on the FADC DAQ prototype
