Project Narrative: Advanced Detector Research Electronics for aPicosecond Time-of-Flight Measurement

1 Introduction and Motivation

Time-of-flight (TOF) detectors have historically been used as part of the particle identificationcapability of multi-purpose particle physics detectors. Such detectors (for example, the Run II CDFTOF detector [1]) typically measure the flight time with a resolution of about 100 ps, which, whencombined with a momentum measurement in a magnetic field, is sufficient to determine the particle’smass, and thus its identity. Recently, time-of-flight detectors employing Cerenkov radiators readout by micro-channel plate photomultiplier tubes (MCP-PMT’s) have made it possible to achievetime resolutions on the 10 ps scale (see, for example, the ground-breaking work of the Nagoyagroup [2]). Detectors which make use of the Cerenkov effect are generally favored for fast timingapplications due to the prompt, essentially instantaneous emission of radiation as a charged particleexceeds the local speed of light in a medium.

The ability to accurately measure the flight time depends on three key elements: the radiator,the photo-sensor, and the electronics. Detectors capable of a 10 ps measurement have typicallybeen read out by oscilloscopes or single photon counters, which are not practical solutions for amulti-channel system, or a detector in a high radiation area.

The fast timing sub-group of the FP420 R&D collaboration [3] has been pursuing an alternateapproach, making multiple measurements on the 30 ps level. This technique has several benefits:it eliminates background from thermal noise, which is particularly important for silicon photomul-tipliers (SiPMs), an alternate photo-sensor which can have a dark noise can be on the MHz scale;it provides redundancy (increased efficiency); and most importantly it significantly improves thetiming resolution: e.g. naively, eight independent measurements of 28 ps precision average to asingle 10 ps measurement. The readout electronics in this scheme need to have a resolution on the20 ps level, which is a much more modest and obtainable goal, and is the focus of this proposal.

Supported by funding from the 2006 ARP program [4] and 2007 DOE ADR grant [5], Universityof Texas, Arlington (UTA) Professor Andrew Brandt has been leading the development of the“QUARTIC,” (Quartz TIming Counter) detector based on these concepts. Figure 1(a) showsthe basic design: a proton passing through a series of fused silica bars radiating photons whichare measured by an MCP-PMT. Each proton passes through all eight z segments for a given x,providing eight separate time measurements along the track (the inset shows the 4 × 8 array ofbars with a 5 mm × 5 mm cross section and an average length of about 10 cm).

UTA and Stony Brook have taken up the challenge of developing the full chain of readoutelectronics necessary to make optimal use of this detector. Figure 1(b) shows the time difference oftwo non-adjacent quartz bars through the full readout chain from a test beam run at Fermilab inNovember 2010: the 48 ps resolution implies an individual bar resolution of 34 ps, of which about27 ps is estimated to be due to the radiator/PMT with about 20 ps due to the electronics.

In this proposal we first outline a physics use case for this type of fast timing detector electronics,next we discuss the details of the electronics system, then we present the programs of work for UTAand Stony Brook, an conclude with the timetable and project objectives.

2 Physics Motivation

Diffractive physics, in which one or both beam particles remain intact in a high energy collision,has been used primarily as a tool for understanding the theory of strong QCD interactions. InRef. [3], we have proposed to use diffraction as a means of searching for new physics beyond theStandard Model [6] using the so-called “central exclusive production” (CED) process. In central

exclusive production (recently observed by the CDF and DØ collaboration at Fermilab [7]), theincoming protons are scattered at small angles and the entire momentum lost by the protons goesinto the creation of a central system. This process provides a particularly clean environment tosearch for and characterize new particles at the CERN LHC in Switzerland, which will ultimatelyhave seven times the beam energy of the Fermilab accelerator. A notable example is the exclusiveproduction of the Higgs Boson, a critical, yet undiscovered, component of the Standard Model. Ifthe outgoing protons remain intact then the centrally produced Higgs is created in a spin zero, CP(charge parity) even state, thus the observation of this process determines the quantum numbersof the Higgs (or any other observed resonance).

Apart from the QCD-based CED process, photons can be exchanged in an analogous QEDprocess. This process is calculable to a high level of precision and its measurement is thus extremelysensitive to anomalous couplings between photons and weak vector bosons [8].

Furthermore, the proton momentum measurement results in a mass resolution of about 3 GeVper event, much more precise than direct measurements using the central ATLAS detector. Thisis an especially promising approach for many “Beyond the Standard Model” scenarios, where thecross section for a Higgs coupling to b quarks is enhanced at the expense of vector bosons, makingthe proton tagging method the only approach for measuring the Higgs quantum numbers prior tothe construction of a multi-billion dollar linear collider (See Ref. [3] and references therein). Theexcellent mass resolution achievable with suitable proton detectors, combined with backgroundsuppression from quantum number selection rules, gives a viable signal and signal to backgroundratio for these models. Tagging the protons allows the LHC to be used as a tunable center-of-massenergy gluon-gluon or photon-photon collider, opening a wide range of new physics possibilities.

Forward detectors at 220 m and 420 m have been proposed for the two large LHC detectorsATLAS and CMS, and Letters of Intent have been approved by both collaborations, which arein the process of preparing Technical Proposals (TP). A 10 ps time measurement from timingdetectors on either side of the interaction point would provide a 2.1 mm vertex resolution, which,when combined with the excellent 50 µm vertex resolution of the central system would provide alarge rejection of the dominant combinatoric background from multiple proton-proton interactionsin the same bunch crossing. This ADR supports R&D for the novel ultra-high-resolution timingelectronics necessary for a TP. Without an approved TP, the Forward Physics program cannot bea recognized part of physics upgrade program of either collaboration.

3 Scope of this ADR proposal

Several types of Cerenkov photon detectors are currently available that deliver the required timingresolution including MCP-PMTs and avalanche photo-diode arrays, also known as Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs). These detectors all feature rise times of 100 to 400 ps and transit time jitterof better than 30 ps when combined with a radiator that produces O(10) detected photoelectrons(like the QUARTIC detector described above). In this ADR we do not address the radiators orphoto-detectors, but concentrate on the electronics. We describe a plan to develop and study thefull electronics chain for a time-of-flight particle detector with an extremely precise resolution of20 ps/channel.

For a typical detector the photo statistics are limited. Thus, the signal amplitude fluctuatessignificantly from event to event resulting in large amplitude-dependent time shifts (time-walk) ifa simple fixed threshold discriminator is used, precluding accurate timing. Consequently, thereare two basic options given a detector with limited photo statistics: 1) employ a constant-fractiondiscriminator (CFD) followed by a time to digital converter (TDC) or 2) determine the time bysampling, storing, and analyzing the full signal shape.

We have chosen the former approach, and have successfully tested the following electronics chain:preamplifier (two mini-circuits ZX60-4016E amplifiers in series separated by a 6 dB attenuator,providing a factor of 50 multiplication), CFD (Alberta has made a custom NIM unit with a motherboard that provides filtered power, and houses 8 single channel CFD’s, based on an initial designof Louvain), TDC (Alberta made a TDC board incorporating the CERN/CAEN designed HPTDCchip that deals with all the buffering and control signals necessary for interfacing with the ATLASor CMS readout system). While this chain has proven effective, it is not sufficient.

The desired system includes the following:

• Eight timing channels in parallel to minimize time dispersion and to allow for multiple mea-surements of the same particle for noise elimination and further improvement of resolution.

• An 8-channel pre-amplification board, with 5 m pig tails to bring the signals from the detectorto a low radiation area.

• A high resolution 8-channel CFD.

• A fast programmable or hardwired majority/coincidence trigger output of a set of 8 channels,available within about 50 ns of the particle’s arrival.

• A low resolution 8-bit digital pulse height information accompanying the timing information.This information can be used to eliminate pathological events, to monitor the gain stabilityof the photo-sensor, and to correct for any residual time walk.

• An ultra-stable reference clock to be used as a“start” signal for the TDC and to preciselysynchronize time-of-flight detectors hundreds of meters apart with better than 5 ps accuracy.

• A high precision TDC.

We have searched for systems with these capabilities available on the market or under devel-opment, but without success. Fast analog memory approaches that use the stored waveform todetermine precise timing [9] are quite promising for certain applications, but generally have at leastone, and typically several, of these undesirable features: limited repetition rate, insufficient timeresolution, too large data size, not radiation tolerant, or unable to provide a fast trigger.

In this ADR we propose to develop all the components of a full electronics readout system withan intrinsic time resolution of 20 ps per channel or better. We plan to develop the electronics asa series of “building blocks” that can be used as is, or can be individually adapted to a particularapplication. Indeed, we have already gone some way in this direction in a series of designs and beamtests of the QUARTIC detector for our use case, the LHC Forward Proton detectors designed forHiggs measurements. This has led to the development by Alberta of high resolution CFD and TDCcomponents which we will use as the starting point for the R&D described in this proposal. Wenote that for the LHC upgrades, the on-detector electronics will see radiation levels of about 1012

neutron-equivalent per cm2, so we plan to evaluate the radiation tolerance of all the components,and determine the optimal geographical layout of the different elements. Other experiments suchas Panda, LHCb, and Super B factories can all profit from some or all of this development work.

4 Work by the University of Texas at Arlington

In this section work by the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) group is discussed. UTAhas been leading the development of the QUARTIC detector, and the full time-of-flight system,including joint efforts with Photonis and Photek to improve the MCP-PMT lifetime. UTA has de-veloped significant fast timing expertise through the establishment and operation of the PicosecondTest Facility. This facility contains a Hamamatsu PLP-10 pulsed picosecond laser, various opticaland RF components, fast electronics, and a 6 GHz LeCroy WaveMaster 8620a oscilloscope. It ismanned primarily by physics undergraduate students under the supervision of Prof. Brandt withthe assistance of graduate students Ian Howley (3rd year) and Ryan Hall (worked on the projectfor two years as an undergraduate and now in first year as a graduate student). Research AssistantProfessor Seongtae Park has also contributed to the operation of this facility. In addition to overallproject leadership, the main activities of UTA will be to develop a reference clock with a jitterof 1 to 2 ps, and to perform system tests of the full electronics chain, before, during, and afterexposure of the various components to radiation. This reference clock work will be done by anelectrical engineering (EE) graduate student under the guidance of EE professors Carter and Davis(and in consultation with Jeff Gronberg of LLNL). Physics undergraduate students will performthe testing of the electronics in the Picosecond Test Facility, taking advantage of the excellent UTAinfrastructure.

4.1 Reference Clock

A crucial component of the time-of-flight system is the reference clock, used to tie together measure-ments hundreds of meters apart, as required for the LHC forward proton use case. Practically, thisis done by taking the time difference with respect to a stabilized clock signal. For the clock signalto cancel in the time difference it must have a jitter of 5 ps or less, or it would not be negligiblerelative to the proton time resolution. The reference timing stabilization circuit is based on a de-sign developed at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) by Joe Frisch and Jeff Gronberg(LLNL), who is a consultant on this project. It uses a phase locked loop feedback mechanism asshown in Fig. 2(a). A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) launches a signal down the cable from thetunnel near the proton detector to the interaction point (IP), where it is reflected and sent back.At the IP end of the cable the signal is sampled with a directional coupler where it is compared inthe mixer with the 400 MHz Master Reference, provided in this example from the LHC RF signal.The result is a DC voltage level that is fed back to the VCO to maintain synchronization. Changesin the cable’s electrical length cancel when the original and returned signal are added. A highquality large diameter air core coaxial cable was used with a 476 MHz RF signal for preliminarytests, and the stabilization circuit yielded a 150 fs jitter over a 100 m cable. Figure 2(b) showsresults from a second test, with a 300 m cable, which was left outside to verify the temperature

stability of the circuit. A low noise amplifier was used to boost the return signal to recover thecable and power coupling losses, which are a function of cable length (the measured attenuationwas about 7.5 dB for the 300 m cable). The unstabilized circuit was observed to have a variationof 80 ps/10 degrees C, while the stabilized circuit (shown in the figure) reduced the variation to 4ps/10 degrees C. A residual correction as a function of temperature could reduce this drift to the 1to 2 ps level, but we propose to control the temperature of the electronics, which is likely the causeof the residual variation. This should bring the drift to the sub-picosecond level along with thejitter. This temperature stabilization is important for us since the seasonal variation in the LHCtunnel is about ±10 degrees C.

The output of the SLAC circuit is a stabilized 476 MHz RF wave, but we require a 40 MHzsquare wave pulse from the 400 MHz LHC RF. This will be an input to the trigger board, which willpass the clock through to the HPTDC board for triggered events. As mentioned above the circuitwill be developed by a UTA electrical engineering (EE) graduate student under the supervisionof UTA EE Professor’s Alan Davis and Ron Carter, both of whom have extensive RF experience.Initial ideas for accomplishing this include a programmable logic chip or an ECL divider chip. Thedesign and fabrication of the reference timing circuit and the interface to the HPTDC board is asignificant area of development for this proposal, and will also require modifications of the initialSLAC circuit to ensure that the expected location of the various components are consistent withexpected radiation levels in the LHC tunnel.

5 Work by Stony Brook University

In this section we describe work to be performed by Stony Brook in this ADR proposal. The StonyBrook personnel on this ADR proposal are Rijssenbeek, Schamberger, and technician Steffens.

The full timing electronics chain is shown schematically in Fig. 3. In the following sections, wedescribe each building block in some detail: its R&D plan, and its estimated cost. The budgetproposal for Stony Brook follows the project description.

5.1 Preamplification

In the laboratory and in beam tests, we have successfully used the ZX60 series 4 GHz bandwidth,20 dB gain coaxial amplifiers from Minicircuits[10], with low noise figures and good stability andreliability. This single-channel preamp is fully shielded and has SMA I/O connectors. Thus, it isbulky and has high cost $50/piece.

Minicircuits also offers the 4 GHz-bandwidth 14-20 dB gain ERA-5+ monolithic Darlington

amplifier in a micro-X package ($3.85/pc, 1-30 pc), which appears well suited to our needs. To-gether with various passive SMT components, shielding and cables, this amplifier will cost about$20/channel in R&D quantities. We plan to design and build a double layer (signal and ground)PCB layout for this part, with a small 0.2 × 1.2 inch footprint per channel, in an eight-channelversion. Other suitable amplifiers (Agilent, Minicircuits) may be tested as well.

As we require radiation tolerance, we propose to expose this device under power and pulsedelectronically to beam and radiation. Several test beams, at FNAL and CERN, are available to us forthis purpose, where we can participate parasitically. In conjunction with UTA, we will characterizethe device just before, during, and directly after several irradiation periods, while monitoring thedose rate and total accumulated dose. We plan to use a fast programmable pulser and a highbandwidth digital scope to complement UTA laser tests in performing this characterization.

In year one, we propose the construction of two 8-channel shielded preamp boards equippedwith nine 5 m long RG316U-DS[11] coax SMA pigtails (8 signals and 1 power), with a PCB size ofabout 2.0” × 1.5”. We will study the effect of radiation dose and of the coax signal cable runs onthe signal shape and timing resolution and jitter.

The cost of an 8-channel device is estimated at $400 not including the labor, which is suppliedby our university-supported technician. For year 1, we budget $800 for two preamp boards, and$3,000 for beam test (supplies: jigs, cables, etc.). For year 2, we budget $800 for the constructionof two final-version preamp boards.

5.2 Constant Fraction Discriminator and Trigger

We chose a constant-fraction discriminator to provide a precise timing logical pulse. This is a well-established technique, and we have an excellent baseline device in the existing Alberta-LouvainConstant Fraction Discriminator (ALCFD), which we have used before in beam tests. This 8-

6

channel NIM module has a measured timing resolution of about 5 ps. Although this moduleprovides proof-of-existence, much further R&D is required.

First, a 10× receiver/amplifier is required at the input, possibly with programmable gain foroptimal adaptation to the CFD section. The CFD can be further optimized based on operationalexperience obtained with ALCFD prototypes.

Second, we must develop a motherboard – possibly in VME format – for an 8-channel system,and design and implement programmable trigger Majority-AND logic to form a coincidence. Weplan to route the fast timing signals to the motherboard which implements the fast trigger circuitry.

Additionally, we propose to incorporate a sample-and-hold amplifier inside each CFD channel.These slow analog signals are made available on the front panel for optional digitization by fastlow-resolution flash ADCs, located in the Time and Analog Digitizer module (TAD), if the triggercondition is satisfied.

The precision reference clock – the “start” signal – may also be part of the trigger condition, andwill be routed to a separate (ninth) input on each CFD module. All fast timing signals (includingthe clock), if satisfying the trigger condition, are transmitted (via either an analog backplane orcoax cable) to time digitizer modules.

We aim to develop a CFD module with an inherent time resolution of 7 ps/channel or better.The trigger logic must respect this resolution limit as well. Together with the S/H circuit, this isthe main R&D task for the CFD in this proposal.

Based on Alberta experience, we estimate the cost for the CFD and Trigger R&D as $2,000 per8-channel CFD module. In year 1, we propose to purchase two of these modules for testing and R&Dfrom Alberta for $7,000 total. Also in year 1, we will do R&D on implementing a preamplificationstep at the CFD input ($400), adding a suitable S/H amplifier for fast low-resolution pulse heightmeasurement ($3,000), and adding trigger capability ($1,000) to the motherboard.

In year 2, we propose to build two final version CFD modules based on the year 1 results.Including materials and supplies (unforeseen costs, and cables and connectors), we budget $8,000for final-version CFD and Trigger.

5.3 Time and Analog Digitizers

From the CFD, the digital timing signals enter the High Precision Time-to-Digital Converter(HPTDC) board. An early 4-channel version of this module was developed by Alberta using thehigh resolution 8-channel HPTDC chip developed by CERN for time-of-flight detectors. In the labwe have obtained a 14 ps/channel resolution, close to our design goals. HPTDC chip developmentis continuing at CERN and more powerful versions may be used in future editions of the HPTDCmodule.

Several items need significant development beyond this proof-of-existence prototype. At highevent rates the occupancy of the current HPTDC chip grows, causing loss of data: in 8 channelhigh-resolution mode (25 ps LSB), the HPTDC chip is limited to a maximum occupancy of about2 MHz. Simulations show that by doubling the internal clock speed to 80 MHz and using only fourchannels per chip, the occupancy limit can be increased to 16 MHz at less than 0.1% losses. Thiscapability is satisfactory for our LHC application (expected maximum 10 MHz trigger rate), butis unacceptable for the 40 MHz reference timing signal at the LHC; hence it too is filtered by thetrigger.

In addition, we aim to provide a fast, low-resolution pulse-height determination for pulses thatpass the trigger in order, for instance, to allow residual time-walk corrections off-line. Hence weaim to design 8-bit, 50 ns ADC circuitry (using video digitizers) which can either be implementedas a stand-alone 8-channel module, or incorporated into the HPTDC module. This ADC circuitryis the main R&D task for this digitization stage. The interface to the data acquisition will be made

5.4 Infrastructure

For this R&D proposal, we require a fast programmable pulser (for example the TEK AWG5012 2Channel, Arbitrary Waveform Generator) and fast 6 GHz bandwidth, 20 GS/s digital scope. Wepropose to purchase a refurbished AWG5012 for $27,883, see the included price quote.

The required fast digital scope is available to us in our departmental electronics shop. Ourgroup has exclusive access to a mostly university-paid, grant subsidized, senior electronic andmechanical technician. We have a well-instrumented electronics lab as well as inexpensive accessto the department’s electronics shop. We have a strong record in developing and building fastelectronics systems for other experiments: The DØ calorimeter electronics, the DØ Silicon tracktrigger, and read-out for the PHENIX Silicon vertex detector.

5.5 Stony Brook Budget

In this ADR we budget only costs of parts purchased and the fabrication of PCB, cables, etc.produced by outside vendors. Labor is supplied by our senior university-supported technician,possibly with additional aid from undergraduate students on Stony Brook URECA grants.

The budgeted Arbitrary Waveform Generator is equipment and free of overhead. The indirectcost percentage for this proposal is the same as our standard ATLAS grant: 33.75%.

7 Project Objectives

In this ADR we propose to develop all the components of a full electronics readout system withan intrinsic time resolution of 20 ps per channel or better. We plan to develop the electronics asa series of “building blocks” that can be used as is, or can be individually adapted to a particularapplication.

Our first developed component will be a radiation-tolerant, 8-channel pre-amplifier board, in-cluding protection of the amplifiers against large input pulses. The existing CFD board will bereplaced by an upgraded module which also outputs a low-resolution ADC for monitoring the gainof the photo-sensors. We will also produce an ultra-stable reference clock to precisely synchronizeseveral time-of-flight detectors with better than 5 ps accuracy. Finally, we are developing a boardcapable of generating a level-1 trigger based on the CFD outputs, and provide a scaled referenceclock signal to the existing HPTDC board. This electronics system may be used by the LHCForward Proton detectors, and other experiments such as Panda, LHCb, and Super B factories.

Facilities and Equipment The University of Texas at Arlington has been very supportive of the High Energy Physics (HEP) group, and has designated the group’s activities as a ``Center of Excellence.’’ The constructed Chemistry and Physics building constructed in 2006 includes about 10,000 ft2 dedicated to HEP research, including several labs and a high-bay area with a 5 ton crane for detector construction, specialized electronics development labs, the ATLAS super-computing Tier 2 center, and the Picosecond Test Facility (described below). The 2006 ARP and 2007 DOE ADR grants have provided equipment for fast timing including the Lecroy Wavemaster 8620A 6 GHz oscilloscope, the Hamamatsu PLP-10 laser controller with 405 and 638 nm laser diodes, allowing us to establish the Picosecond Test Facility (PTF) for advanced Microchannel Plate Phototube and fast electronics testing In addition to the laser and scope, the PTF includes specialized commercial fast timing electronics, such as a Phillips and CAEN TDC’s, ORTEC and Mini-circuits preamplifiers with bandwidths ranging from a couple hundred MHz to 8 GHz, ORTEC constant fraction discriminators, as well as a wide array of SMA cables and connectors. We also have an Alberta designed 8 channel constant fraction discriminator. Further additional resources include access to the facilities and infrastructure at Fermilab and CERN test beams. The UTA Electrical Engineering design laboratory has available both a Agilent 8510C automatic network analyzer that operates from 45 MHz to 26 GHz and an Agilent 4395A network/spectrum/impedance analyzer that operates from 10 Hz to 500 MHz. Ancillary measurement equipment includes a HP 4284 LCR meter capable of measuring reactance from 20 Hz to 1 MHz, an Agilent 54855A 6 GHz oscilloscope, and an Agilent MSO 6184 oscilloscope useful for frequencies from 16 Hz to 4 GHz. This equipment is housed in a screen room that can be used for taking low level measurements. Design and simulation of circuit boards is aided by several presently used computer programs such as SPICE which is a fundamentally time domain analysis, Advanced Design System (ADS) which is a fundamentally frequency domain microwave analysis and optimization, ICCAP which is used for measurement control and optimization, and Cadence which can link to the other programs mentioned but is especially useful in design layouts.
