What Testing was Done?
• Guiding principle“Attempt to carry out measurements and see how DOM behaves as a data acquisition platform then follow our noses.”
• Initial measurements desired:– Phototube gain– Peak-to-valley– Phototube noise (not yet /w/ DOM)
• These measurements implied a priori characterization of DOM analog F.E.
• Summary of measurements captured in Engineering DOM Tests document.
23 July 2003 LBNL DOM Workshop 3
DOMs Under Test (DUTs)
• UW now has 12 DOM-MBs:– 5 in ‘active’ DOMs (XE3P0001-0005)– 6 in DOMs awaiting testing– 1 DOMMB in use by NK for HV base tests
• 2 DOMMBs returned to LBNL because of hardware problems:– 1 flash RAM failure– 1 CPLD failure (could not program)

ATWD Pedestal Study
• Purpose– Monitor system electronic noise– ATWD gain calibration
• Procedure– Set ambient temperature to -20 ºC, …– Set FE bias to various levels– Acquire CPU-triggered ATWD shots

FE Pedestal/Gain Calibration Proposal
• If you take delta between 5th and 1st curves on previous plot, you would naively expect a flat line.
• Resulting line is not flat – features persist – do we need separate gain calibration for each ATWD bin? 20 40 60 80 100 120

ATWD Pedestal Noise (2)
• HV base turned off but ISEG base (718F) just disables HV – power not turned off to base. Disconnecting HV ribbon lowers noise somewhat.
• Oddly enough, Ch1 shows about same level of noise – would expect 4x less scaling with op-amp gain.

Floating Baseline?
• Tried to test noise with HV on/off but run into problem of wobbling ATWD baseline and odd undershoot at pulse beginning (RHS).
• (See next page) overall stability of pedestal on 2 hr timescale OK /w/ HV off but HV on causes large rms and drift.

Summary on Pedestal Testing
• Significant noise in FE seems due to HV base (no noise seen in DOMMB tests?). Of options EMCO/ISEG, latter produces clearly visible hash in FE while former is clean.
• Clamping amp nonlinearity significant. Can we tune this away or are we stuck with it? Do we really want to put a clamping amp on any more channels?
• ATWD channel 1 overflows at about 1 V input (50 pe) – again, is this a tuning problem?
• Is ATWD FE characterization simply a pedestal fingerprint or do we need more calibration knobs such as individual ATWD bin pedestals and gains.
23 July 2003 LBNL DOM Workshop 16
Pulser Tests
• Purpose– Calibrate op-amp gains– SPE/MPE discriminator studies
• Procedure– Disable HV– Set internal pulser amp to 1/3 pe, 1 pe, …– Do discriminator sweep (FSCAN)– Acquire pulser waveforms

Pulser Waveforms
• Unable to acquire pulser waveforms with synchronous pulser trigger – advertised in FPGA register level docs but either I called incorrectly or problem at FPGA
• This type of trigger – synch with FE pulser, LED pulser, LED flasherboard required for some tests.

SPE Waveforms (2)
• Presence of HV again causes drift of front-end baseline.
• This may be due to ATWD overvoltage– ATWD channel 1 can saturate– ATWD channel 2 seems OK – small drift but probably
functional– Why is ATWD channel 0, protected by clamping
amplifier, having problems?• Current situation with drifting baselines makes
analysis of ch0/ch1 waveforms very tricky – hope we can alter the clamping voltage to workaround – need information on this system.

Cheap P/V & Gain Analysis
• Used ATWD ch2 because of baseline wobble – gain of this channel is 2/3× so had to crank HV up to 1600, 1800, 2000 V.
• Clear P/V appears at 2000 V (apx. 2.2:1)
• Assuming ATWD gain is 1 mV/count, FE gain is 2/3×, the peak occurs around 40 mV – resulting in gain of about 5 × 107 – this just makes target!

Conclusions
• Noise on ISEG HV base is potential trouble – analog tests indicate that level is less than 1 mV p-p but really need to understand characteristics after FE op-amps.
• Several issues with ATWD-captured waveforms:– ‘startup’ bug: 1st sample after several seconds idle is corrupted –
this is more annoying than problematic– Crosstalk from clock when mux’ed into channel 3 – OK once AG
explained the problem and the fix. However, crosstalk from ch0 to ch1, ch2 potential problem. Do we test?
– Clamping amplifier causes log rolloff of channel 0– Saturated ATWD inputs cause sizable baseline drift
• ATWD channel 0 gain seems a bit high – 16x implies approx 100 mV spe, about 100 ATWD counts. Could probably reduce gain by factor of 2, perhaps up to 4.
