Tagger Microscope ElectronicsExperimental setup

Current testing bench:• Dark chamber• NIM bin and modules• Can be used for all aspects of

quality assurance

GlueX Collaboration Meeting, JLabOctober 4-6, 2012

Second testing bench:• New dark chamber• JLab FADC• Computer with CODA• Can be used for all aspects

of quality assurance

17

Tagger Microscope ElectronicsElectronics changes

Change from 25 µm to 50 µm SiPM:

• Gain ~2.7x larger with 50 µm• Lowered amplifier gain to

compensate• Found 30% power reduction

GlueX Collaboration Meeting, JLabOctober 4-6, 2012

Differences:• Increased 3 resistors while

keeping operating voltages the same

• Included parallel RC circuit to push low frequency gain ‘bump’ out of the operating range

50 µm25 µm

18

Tagger Microscope ElectronicsFuture plans

• Engineering update of preamplifier, backplane, and control boards

• Submit design for fabrication and component population• Solder Eurocard connectors and SiPMs in lab• Perform basic board quality tests• Measure output pulse shape, gain, cross-talk• Run boards for an extended period of time to burn them

Summary

Quality assurance & acceptance test plan being revised Construction plan written and being reviewed Infrastructure needed for construction is ~85% complete On track for readiness review (previously estimated - 11/2012) Scintillation yield with 50-micron pixel SiPM’s meets

requirements Electronics prototyping phase is completed Construction to begin as soon as contract is in place
