GIF measurements

  • Run length ~12 hours (1M evts ~ 40000 hits in small tubes/run)
  • Drift time spectra
  • r-t relationship
  • Efficiency as a function of background rate
  • Resolution as a function of background rate

– Needs 1000 tracks in 1 mm slices 75000 tracks →

Analysis status: drift time spectrum

  • Tubes 67-68-69-70 only
  • track cuts
  • CL1, CL2 > 0.02
  • |d1-d2| < 0.8 mm
  • |d1+d2| < 14.2 mm

Slightly different conditions in data and simulations (T) Drift time spectrum for small tubes is not well reproduced by Garfield refine t0? First hit or all hits?

Gas gain

  • electrons on the wire/primary electrons:

– described by Townsend coefficient, however small uncertainties on Townsend coefficient lead to large uncertainties on gas gain -> hardcoded in Garfield – for each electron, gain distributed with Polya function (xαe-(1+α)x, 0<α<1)

  • Diethorn formula:

– ρ0/ρgas = 1 bar/ 3 bar – Emin(ρ0) = 23523 V/cm – ∆V = 34 V

  • Big tubes:

– E(a) = 193500 V/cm – b = 14.6 mm – a = 0.025 mm – V = 3080 V – G = 20700

  • Small tubes:

– E(a) = 195400 V/cm – b = 7.1 mm – a = 0.025 mm – V = 2760 V – G = 25500 NB: to have SAME electrical field in small and big tubes, HV = 2730 in small tubes Historically, HV = 2760 V in small tubes, which corresponds to HV = 3101 V in big tubes New Garfield simulations needed!

Current signal

  • Big tubes:

– b = 14.6 mm – a = 0.025 mm – V = 3080 V – Max t = 4.3 ms

  • Small tubes:

– b = 7.1 mm – a = 0.025 mm – V = 2760 V – Max t = 1.1 ms

  • Only ion mobility taken into account
  • Ramo's theorem gives
  • ion mobility is constant (r > 100 µm): µ = 0.51 cm2/Vs @ 3 bar

High rate effects

  • Electronics effects:

– Baseline shift and fluctuations – Shift effects reduced by using bipolar shaping (need the introduction of large dead time to prevent multiple hits)

  • Space-charge effects:

– Ion clouds drifting towards the cathod change the electric field and the gas gain: important for non linear gases such as Ar:CO2 – electrons drifting toward the wire see charge only within 1 cm – Ion clouds (Poisson distributed):

  • n = (1 cm) * Nc * tmax
  • Nc background rate per unit wire

length (i.e. Hz/cm2 => Hz/cm2 * tube diameter [cm])

  • Big tubes:

– b = 14.6 mm – Max t = 4.3 ms – N (50 Hz/cm2) = 0.6 – N (800 Hz/cm2) = 9.6 – N (1100 Hz/cm2) = 13.2 – N (1400 Hz/cm2) = 16.8

  • Small tubes:

– b = 7.1 mm – Max t = 1.1 ms – N (50 Hz/cm2) = 0.075 – N (800 Hz/cm2) = 1.2 – N (1100 Hz/cm2) = 1.65 – N (1400 Hz/cm2) = 2.1

x8 less ion clouds in small tubes!!!

Electric field for high background rates

Boundary condition: Trascendental equation for k (numerical solution): If k<<b, second term is dropped and we obtain the usual electric field (1/r) If k>>r: Solution: However, one must take into account the gain drop due to the change of electric field, by calculating the line charge and insert it into the Diethorn formula -> Iterative process (convergence after a few steps)

Electric field at high background rates

no background ~1/r with background

[cm]

  • Small (big) tubes:

– E(high rate) < E(low rate) for r<2 (4) mm

  • E field variation: from less than 1% (positive, close to the wire) to a few

percent (negative, close to the wall) Albert's plots

Garfield simulation: status

  • Implementation:

– HEED (particle interaction with the gas) – MagBoltz (electron trasport properties) – Ionisation along the track – Drift of electrons – Current signal (ion part) – Response of ATLAS electronics – Low rate: gas gain only input – High rate effects

  • Gas gain from iteration of Diethorn formula
  • Adds background electric field (parameter k from iteration)
  • Scales with number of ion clouds Poisson-distributed
  • Response of ATLAS electronics
  • Simulation with no background: 60000 evts/day/CPU
  • Simulation with background: 10000 evts/day/CPU

GIF tests: counting rates per tube

  • from closest to farthest

tube (from source) we get ~ 30% attenuation

  • due to increasing distance

from source (~140 cm -> 164 cm)

  • to be taken into account

during analysis

  • collect more statistics with

highest irradiation hits/small tube (source on, att 1, no shielding, 36 mV) closest to source farthest from source close close far
