Electronics part of AHCAL calibration system

ECFA meeting at Warszawa

ECFA, JUN10, 2008 Ivo Polak, IPASCR, Prague 2

Proposal for calibration system

• Fast LED driver is needed for fast photodetectors…

• A tunable calibration light in the range 0 to 100MIP

• Simplification of the optical system: one LED -> one side emitting fibre, one row of scintillator tiles

• See Jara’s talk Optical part of AHCAL calibrator

ECFA, JUN10, 2008 Ivo Polak, IPASCR, Prague 3

Two scenarios of calibration system for EUDET AHCAL

1. Side emitting fiber for one raw, QRLed driver sitting on the side of module (endcap)

2. QRLed driver is sitting at HBU above the scintillator

Scenario with QRLed driver by scintillator

• One LED, one QRLed driver at HBU

Signals needed:

T-calib

V-calib (single ended)

power +12V

This figure is been used by Riccardo Fabbri’s talk

QRLed driver will be placed here around

QR LED driver, basic parameters

• Fixed pulse width 2 ÷ 10 ns

• LED is an integral part of QR driver

• Cosine waveform reduces elmag. x-talk

• PCB footprint 2 ÷ 3 cm²

• Easy power-pulsing

Conclusion

• Inductor has been changed from loop to toroidal structure

better magnetic isolation• 2 scenarios for calibration system

– QRLed driver at HEB (endcap) fibers needed– QRLed driver in detector on HBU no fibers

• At the next HCAL DESY meeting we would like to start the discussion about the integration

• It is a part of the EUDET task Multichannel LED calibration prototype
