Introduction

• We are setting up a small working group to develop the

method of installing WLS-coated reflector foils on the CPA.

• There is some R&D, tests and engineering work that

needs to be done.

• This talk is a summary of things that were discussed or

are happening.

– Matching WLS with ARAPUCA coating – Considerations about putting foils on DUNE CPA.

• Get in touch with me, if you'd like to get involved help out (

General comments

• ARAPUCA covered with same WLS as ARAPUCA –

potentially best light collection efficiency (provided transparency of WLS on ARAPUCA is high – preparing measurements of TPB, PEN, pT on glass).

• ARAPUCA covered with a WLS “lower” than the foils –

potentially good collection as well, although might have a 50% backwards effect.

• ARAPUCA covered with a WLS “higher” than the foils

– lower light collections (ARAPUCA blind to reflected light) – need to add a lower filter version of ARAPUCA's (potentially no WLS on outside).

• Current baseline design. Then:

– Foils covered with pT:

• According to measurements, foils won't work at pT

wavelenghts.

• Also, no experience with foils covered with pT.

– Foils covered with TPB

• ARAPUCA's blind to reflected light (exclusive case).
• Known technology.

– Foils covered with PEN

• ARAPUCA's blind to reflected light (exclusive)
• Need to figure out coupling to foils, and behaviour in

cold.

• Need to measure performance on foils (in progress)
• Potentially could make foil preparation much easier.

– Foils covered with “other”. Bis-MSB?

• Would need aging/behaviour in cold studies. Bis-

MSB less efficient than TPB for VUV.

ARAPUCA covered with TPB

• Need a different WLS on the inside (ELJEN green?)

– Foils with pT, see previous slide. Also 50% backwards efficiency, probably not

very useful.

– Foils with TPB

• ARAPUCA's sensitive to reflected light (inclusive case, possibly with a small correction –

measurement being set up).

• Known technology.

– Foils with PEN

• ARAPUCA's sensitive to reflected light (inclusive case, possibly with a small correction –

measurement being set up).

• Need to figure out coupling to foils, and behaviour in cold.
• Need to measure performance on foils (in progress)

• Would need aging/behaviour in cold studies. Bis-MSB less efficient than TPB for VUV.

ARAPUCA covered with PEN

• Similar wavelengths to
• TPB. Would need R&D to

develop coupling method. Not sure this is useful given the area of ARAPUCA's (evaporation is viable).

• Foils cases similar as per

TPB.

ARAPUCA covered with other (bis-MSB?)

• Bis-MSB efficiency measured by Ettore et al.

Looks comparable to TPB at visible, but worse at VUV. Not as useful.

• Foil considerations then similar to TPB and PEN.

CPA with Refmector Foil Concept

• The goal is to preserve the current CPA construction as much as

possible, and to provide the option of implementing the refmector foils post CPA production.

• The preferred solution is to maintain the current CPA design, and

include a set of attachment holes on each CPA resistive panel to allow the installation of refmector foils in smaller tiles on both sides of the CPA surfaces at ITF or in the UG cleanroom.

Refmector module option 1:

• Construction: Laminate the 3M refmector foil on a thin FR4

backing sheet, evaporate TPB on the refmector surface, mount the reinforced refmector foil on the CPA panel.

• Pros: simple construction, no CTE mismatch
• Cons: high likelihood of surface charging on the refmector foil and

results in sporadic breakdowns through the refmector sheet

SLIDE 15

Refmector module option 2:

• Construction: Evaporate TPB on the 3M refmector foil, Enclose the

refmector foil on the CPA surface with a metal wire mesh frame. The wire mesh will bleed the charge to the resistive CPA channel.

• Pros: Solves the charge up problem; relatively simple

construction

• Cons: Reduces the efgectiveness of the current resistive CPA

design due to the large conductive areas

• Remedy: use insulating frame to hold the wire mesh, use 2 (redundant) closely

spaced electrical contacts to the CPA surface.

Refmector module option 3:

• Construction: Laminate the 3M refmector foil on a thin FR4

backing sheet, perforate the lamination with an array of holes to expose the resistive surface on the cathode, evaporate TPB on the refmector surface, mount the reinforced refmector foil on the CPA panel.

• Pros: reduces the magnitude of surface charging to avoid

breakdown and drift fjeld distortion

• Cons: more complex construction; reduced refmector coverage

Refmector module option 4:

• Assumption: Availability of a transparent and resistive plastic

sheet (~1mm thick), either surface or bulk conductive. The resistivity should be no less than that of the CPA panel.

• Construction: Evaporate TPB on the resistive side of the

transparent plastic sheet (if surface conductive only), encase the 3M refmector foil on the CPA panel by the resistive plastic sheet.

• Pros: no charging, no degradation of the CPA resistive property
• Cons: the transparent resistive material has not been identifjed;

CTE mismatch

Tests/R&D/needed

• Ting has found acrylic that is resistive. We now have a copy and will

test how evaporation works on it and how it performs (option 4).

• Will be measuring transmittance at visible light of TPB covered glass,

450 nm filter, and reflectance of pT covered foils.

• Plan to test performance of foils on CPA in CERN test stand – talking

to Francesco to establish time, likely to be late November time frame.

• Next steps – looking into DAB tests, and protoDUNE run II tests.
• In parallel, simulations ongoing to repeat performance studies being

done without foils.

• Engineering: design of a 4Pi evaporator. Could use crucible design

from DEAP, need to design a structure that holds plates in 4Pi, and a walk in cryostat to hold it.

Conclusions

• Gearing up to define the method to install WLS-

covered reflector foils on the CPA.
