OLD PMT vs NEW PMT Old PMTs exhibit systematic gain loss vs Integrated Luminosity, rate of loss slowing down. New PMTs (24 installed in Feb-2012) show no signs of gain changes so far (3 mo, ~6 fb-1) HCAL Operations report CMS Week June 2012 Pavel Bunin, JINR, Sudan Paramesvaran, https: //indico. cern. ch/get.

Recent Highlights and News‐I • The PMT deliveries are now completed. Testing is going well. We had a meeting with Hamamatsu regarding our reject tubes. We have shipped back about 20 PMT’s ( low gain, high dark current and black cover problems) to be tested by them. We will give a go ahead to Sergey Los soon for the Base Board Production. • Working on the New HV testing system and forming a committee to evaluate the RFP responses. Bulgarian new module testing is completed as well as the CAEN system. Received a detailed Draft Report from German and Alexi. Both power supplies were tested and evaluated at CERN E‐pool using professional equipment and high expertise level of pool technicians. • The HV RFP and decision committee is now formed. Members are: Germain, Alexi, Ianos, S. Los, M. Miller, D. Winn from HF and Magnus and S. Lusin from CMS Coordination. • HF Upgrade PM will write a charge to this committee– late this week. • We have decided on the shield length‐ 54 mm (looks good !! the presentation by Ianos during HF meeting on May 14 thanf got confirmation by Pawel. Mike Fountain has started with the production. 3

Recent Highlights and News‐II Gain Sorting Proposal by Ugur is now ready. ‐A uniform gain distribution for one HF is outlined from the first 900 PMT sample. Other than the fringes at the edge of the sample, we can get gain uniformity within 2%. ‐EM and HAD, and 4 Quadrant separation would work if we can deliver different HV for each group (total 24 groups). ‐As the operation gain is decided, we can develop sorting and HV distributions for each group. ‐ Base Board testing on the 11 Pre‐production boards are done. We see no problems and requested to start for the production. We have shipped 6 boards to CERN last week. Different testing using the QIE readout was performed at CERN. Ferhat will report. ‐Life‐time results for the first 200 C is reported even if Iowa task is to verify the gain drop specs at 3000 C. We have requested more info from Hamamatsu. ‐ New cable specs for the request of quotes are ready ( Terry Shaw) ‐Connectors and cables for two new dark boxes are ordered. ‐First 864 PMT’s (900– spares) were delivered to CERN. 4

Recent Highlights and News‐III There is an agreement for a new cable purchases– Thanks Chris Tully, Jeremy Mans and Pawel De Barbaro for this. There is also a strong support from Austin and Magnus on this. Decision is to purchase all ROBOX inside cables and 1/8 of 5 m cables FEE and connector cables to the existing FEE and start installing these and purchase the remaining by Mid‐ 2013 that we have all cables installed during LS 1. This will enable us to go to the 2 channel readout option by LS 1. 5 or YETS (2014‐ 15). This means that the HF FEE design and construction will go rather fast ( att. to our Turkish and Brazilian groups) HF new front end integration will be presented by Ianos. HF Electronics Packaging as well as the agreement within HCAL that we should pursue the Winchester Cables presented by Terry Shaw. Developing our “Project Org Chart” adding Brazilian Universities and ITU, Istanbul. Alberto Santoro and Gilvan‐Augusto Alves are named as Co‐L 2’s for Brazil in our org chart. E. Gulmez BU‐Istanbul is L 2 for Turkey. 5

HF PMT UPGRADE SORTING • This is only first 900 PMTs sorted for one HF module. The absolute gain values are defined as the ratio between cathode current and anode current. The gain values listed are for 800 V, which is the manufacturer listed operating voltage for Hamamatsu R 7600 PMTs. We have measured the absolute gains at 600 V, 650 V, 700 V, 750 V, 800 V, 850 V, and 900 V. All data is on database for further needs. • The sorting philosophy is using low gain PMTs for EM (long fiber) and high gain PMTs for Hadronic (short fiber) sections. We also divided the HF module to 4 quandrants, and 3 rings; inner, middle, and outer, with respect to eta regions. Inner ring being the highest eta region, we chose to insert low gain PMTs to inner ring, and high gains to outer ring. The possible backups are listed under every group. Total 864 PMTs are used for distribution, and 36 PMTs are assigned as backups. • Overall 2 -3% gain variation within each group is satisfied. However at the far edges of the gain distribution the gain variation gets higher, we recommend locating these high and low gain extremes, to most inner and most outer towers (13, 14, 1). 8

Single HF wedge has 24 towers. 9

NEW CABLE SPECS HF Signal Cables – Manufacturer Winchester Electronics • Suggested improvements (from Ianos Schmidt): – REQUIRED: Cable is stiff at the shrink tubing used to terminate the outer sheath. This could present some difficulties if too long as tightest bends are required near the ends of the cables. -- Need to determine an acceptable length. – REQUIRED or WOULD LIKE ? ? : Would prefer longer and knurled connector nuts so that they could be turned by hand without need of a screw driver. Over tightening of jack screws on the existing D‐sub connectors has been a persistent problem. – REQUIRED: Cable connectors should be identically keyed so that cables can be easily swapped. Very important for rapid trouble shooting and fast cable replacement if necessary. ‐Very important. – WOULD LIKE: Would like grips on cable connectors to ease connecting/disconnecting. • Also noted – hoods on cable connectors would prevent damage seen from snagging exposed coax connector. • – Adapter cable must be re‐defined to fanout to two 8 w 8 DIN connectors (suggestion below) • – Need to sign off on all lengths and materials used 12

HF Upgrade Staging Stage 1 (LS 1) • PMT replacement • Upgrade cabling to allow transition to new FEE and 2 ‐anode readout • Use existing FE electronics. – – Adapter boards in readout boxes will gang anodes Cable Adapters at FEE crates will adapt new cabling to present electronics Stage 2 • Upgrade FE electronics for 2‐anode readout and TDC – – • Ro. Box adapter boards changed for two 2‐anode Racks will be reconfigured for new FEE Maintain the possibility to switch to four‐anode readout in the future should that prove necessary. 18

Working on the planning for 2013‐ 14 HF upgrade will happen in at least two phases: 1. PMT’s will be replaced (LS 1) – – Rebuild readout boxes (new PMT’s, PCB’s, and new cables). Change HV power supplies in USC. 2. Front end electronics will be replaced (e. YETS? ) Prefer to do thisin LS 1 – Reconfiguration of on detector racks – Additional LV [New backend electronics already commissioned] Before, or at same time as electronics replacement: • Front end signal cables will need to be replaced • Additional fibers will need to be pulled (3. ) If not already done, double the channel count to fully exploit multi‐ anode PMT’s. 19

ROB work flow UXC Remove boxes from both HF’s RP screening Refurbishment USC Disassembly Testing • Work starts as soon as HF’s are in garages and boxes accessible. • Refurbishment will happen in SX 5, HCAL alcove • Boxes will be processed in groups of “quadrants”, 9 boxes that make up 90 degrees in phi on HF. • Boxes will be remounted and commissioned by quadrants (Smallest unit due to shared HV). • Burn in and commissioning happens whenever services are available. – Off critical path. Have flexibility here Testing/burn‐in, commissioning Sourcing UXC Remount on HF’s 20

HF Integration • • • • • • PMT Installation (Jun 2011‐‐‐‑Apr 2014) ‐‐‐‑ QA tests at Iowa. ‐‐‐‑ QC tests at 904 and HCAL P 5 Alcove with spare RBX and two/three additional “dark boxes” for components. ‐‐‐‑ Removal of RBXs from detector, re‐‐‐‑assembly, initial tests (P 5 Alcove) ‐‐‐‑ Installation, burn‐‐‐‑in and commission on the detector. ‐‐‐‑ Cable installation for electronics upgrade (LS 1). ‐‐‐‑ At this stage back‐‐‐‑end fw/sw is already verified via slice test parallel reading. ‐‐‐‑ QC and burn‐‐‐‑in (Jun 2013‐‐‐‑ Oct 2013) ‐‐‐‑ Installation and commissioning with old FE and CMS Trigger/c. DAQ (Nov 2013 ‐‐‐‑ Apr 2014). Back‐‐‐‑End (Jun 2013 ‐‐‐‑ Apr 2014) Front‐‐‐‑End (Feb 2015 ‐‐‐‑ Mar 2016) ‐‐‐‑ By using additional readout boxes and dark boxes built for new HF PMTs make a small unit with BE and FE electronics to perform QC and burn‐‐‐‑in* at 904 and/or HCAL P 5 Alcove. ‐‐‐‑ Sockets, adapter boards, connectors, cables will also be part of the test. ‐‐‐‑ 144 front‐‐‐‑end cards (and ~12 calibration modules) will be tested ‐‐‐‑ Unlike HBHE RMs, QIE 10, FPGA and GBT are on the cards inside crate. ‐‐‐‑ Also, beam test with finalized BE/FE electronics and HF mock‐‐‐‑up in will be done in Summer 2015 to define/check pre‐‐‐‑thresholds for TDC in QIE 10 and FPGA. *QC/Burn‐‐‐‑in 1‐‐‐‑ LED and pedestal runs noise runs. 2‐‐‐‑ Charge injection with Pulser to (re)study QIE 10 characteristics. 3‐‐‐‑ SPE, QIE noise, light tightness. 4‐‐‐‑ ADC performance, TDC and serial output functionalities. 21

Front end signal cables For multi‐anode readout: • Cable volume will double • Existing cables must be replace due to insufficient connection density Cabling solution identified (Winchester electronics)that meets our requirements. – – – Connection density Robustness No degradation of detector performance ‐Consists of 3 parts: Cable for inside Ro. Boxes, 5 m cables to FEE, and Adapters to connect to existing FEE Inside Ro. Box 5 m Cable to FEE 24 Coax connector Adapter for Existing FEE 22

HF QIE Card Very Similar To HB/HE QIE Card 23

TDC in HF • Rising edge TDC data comes from the QIE 10 – 5 or 6 bit ‐ 390 to 780 ps bin size • Falling edge comes from FPGA – Uses QIE 10 discriminator output – 4 bits, one special code ‐ 1. 56 ns‐bin – Special code will indicate multiple pulses. 24

PMT Lifetime PMT exposed to constant light intensity Current from PMT anode time gives total charge integrated over

PMT Lifetime Gain vs. Coulombs Pulled from 2 PMTs: Talking to Hamamatsu-requested detailed data on their measurements. 10000000 JA 107 JA 291 1000000 Gain 1000000 100000 10000 0 20 40 60 80 100 Charge (C) 120 140 160 10000 0 50 100 150 Charge (C) 200 250

We are at standard gain increase region, Hamamatsu has the same plots. . We are in this box until 1000 C !!!

Linearity Low intensity LED directed toward face of PMT Intensity increased until PMT output linearity breaks Linearity 10000 R 2 = 0. 9908 1000 8900 pe!! 4 3. 5 3 2. 5 2 1. 5 Neutral Density Filters 1 100 0. 5 Linearity breaks at 8900 photoelectrons 10 Photoelectrons 100000 0

Double Pulse Linearity Incident double pulse light is incremented until ratio of output double pulse amplitude deviates Double Pulse Linearity Ratio Between Pulses 0. 7 0. 6 0. 5 0. 4 0. 3 0. 2 0. 1 0 0 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12000 Initial Pulse Photoelectrons 14000 Double pulse linearity breaks at 9000 photoelectrons 16000 18000

Conclusion In our regular plan the lifetime was supposed to be after all the tests. However, we rushed it over the weekends since HCAL asked if any gain drop is observed. Over the 200 C, there is no gain drop. Now we have a dedicated box, it should go faster. We are hoping to reach 2000 C after new year. Our tasks is verify the Hamamatsu specs at 3000 C. Linearity has been tested with two different methods; single pulse and double pulse. On both of them we measure the PMTs to be within 1% linearity until ~9000 p. e.

Base-Board Testing

Conclusion • • • We “optically” tested all the boards with all bases loaded. We got the signal from every socket. We measured the response uniformity. We also tested the bases for cross-talks with; • • 1 PMT lit the others covered 4 PMT lit the other 4 covered Alternated the lit-half In every case we did not observe any signal above pedestal on covered PMTs.
