Electronics (Plan to participate in design and development of fast electronics)
One engineer visited GSI, • started working on a FPGA-based readout board • Discussion started on participation in design of n-XYTER chip (32MHz, 128 channels)
•Calcutta University wants to participate in a big way
A. Roy and M. Dey will give details
512 Channels FEE Board A Portion of Full Schematic Diagram
•Development of ASIC for CBM readout chip.
n-XYTER chip:•(mixed mode)•128 channels•32 MHz rate (analog)• Useful for all purpose applications
•GSI has assigned part of the design job to us•Discussion started at CU and BARC design team
Thick GEM, (first attempt)
0.5mm thick double-sided copper clad FR4 material. hole size is 0.3mm and the pitch is 1.2mm.
Made locally.
Near term PLAN :
0.5mm x 0.5 mm readout plane, to be readout by GASSIPLEX
GASSIPLEX Board +DAQ ready
Readout plane ready
Next: with n-XYTER??
Next Steps....
➢ to do a gain estimation with the double GEM ....maybe implement a third GEM layer
➢ Operate with a segmented readout – PCB ready
➢ Do timing Study, and for that one may try to optimise or use the already optimized gas mixture for high rates
➢ Use THGEM, as it more robust
➢ Testing a MICROMEGAS foil.
➢ Build facility at BHU
Simulation
Codes installed (Partha’s talk tomorrow)
Immediate plan:
•Muon trigger study•Magnetised Iron as absorber•Optimisation of detector/absorber combination
Radiation study with FLUKARadiation study with FLUKA
Plan (as put in DST-DAE proposal):
Detector development and control: VECC, SINP, BHU, PU, JU
