Summary of MM meetingat CEA Saclay, 25/26 Jan 2010
Some selected topics
CLAS12 and CompassDamien Neyret
• H4 (RD51) test beam run in fall 2009 in magnetic field• Discharge studies (10 prototypes, different meshes)
– Resistive layers, GEM foils pre-amplification– Charge spreading
• Preliminary results– compatible with old Compass studies (D. Thers et al.)– very small differences between classic MM and bulk– no impact of magnetic field on discharge rate so far– promising results from MM+GEM detector– further studies to be done: resist and MM+GEM with high and low
intensity hadrons, performances with magnetic field, time resolutions

Detector performance at same gas gain (~3000)(preliminary):Shuoxing Wu
Conclusion and outlook:• Resistive coating is a successful method to reduce the
micromegas spark rate and limit the change in mesh voltage and current.
• Good spatial resolution<100mm can be reached with a resistive strip coating detector of 1mm pitch.
• High efficiency (>98%) can be achieved with resistive strip coating micromegas detector, and efficiency drops less than 4% when increasing the beam intensity from 5KHz to 40KHz .
• The definition of real ‘spark’ needs to be discussed.• R&D and studies will continue inside the MAMMA
collaboration (next beam test in 6 months)

Amplitude – charge considerations• Standard case: the whole mesh is completely dechargedQtot= Cdet × Vmesh Cdet = 600 pF, Vmesh = 400 V
Ne = Qtot / qe = 24 × 104pC/ qe ~ 1.5 × 1012
Ne ~ 1.5 × 1012
• With the measured pulses in the resistive case: VPA ~ 8 V , C= 1.5 pF GainPA = 450 mV/pC
Ne ~ 2 × 1010
To be continued
•In a systematic way and with all types of resistive detectors…•Need a lower gain PA to avoid saturation in the standard pulses•It seems that the released charge in a resistive detector is ~1000lower than in a standard one•Dead time probably a high gain as well•Careful analyis of the pulses is needed. Study and understand the different regimes

First measurements of R5 (55Fe source) Sparking starts at HVmesh ≈ 560 V
Large currents (several µA) Large HV drop (100–200 V)
R5 signal ≈2 x S3 signal For comparison: R3 signal ≈ 0.8 x S3 signal Charge resolution much worse than for S3
(and R3); escape peak not well separated

-In normal operation the induced charge will be split between Z1 and Z2-Maximum charge will flow through Z1 if Z1<<Z2 -Z2 = (C2 serial C4)//C3 we forget R1 which is high compared to the capacitors-Z2= C2//C3 because C2 serial C4 is close to C2-C1 min should be 10 x C2//C3 : 10x 6.5pf 65pf min 200pf good choice-to capture the maximum of charge :Z1 should be as low as possible

-In spark mode the current will be mainly define by C4 and Z1- Z1 at 1Ghz is: ZC1 + R3-C1=200pF 3 Ohms at 1Ghz and 100 Ohms at 10Mhz -Peak current : 500V/13ohms = 39A during a few ns (170 A without R3)
500V/110 =4.5A during 100ns-the average current is in this case around 0.7uA (1.5uA without R3)-Up to 10 lines should be sparking at the same time looking at the currents measured

-In normal operation the induced charge will be split between C5 and C6(on both sides capacitors are virtually grounded)-C6 is in the range of 0.01pf and C5 0.1pf-R1 should be higher than C5 at any frequency but low enough to keep high rates (5K for test 3)

-In case of spark C4 will be discharged through C5 (1k Ohms @ 1Ghz, 100k@10Mhz)It will create a peak current of 500V/1k=0.5 A during a few ns
+500V/100K= 5mA during 100ns (0.1A with R1=5K)the average value is in this case in the range of 3nA (R1=50K) and 10nA (R1 =5K)Here also many pads should be sparking at the same time (up to 4uA measured) (500 pads have an area of 15mm x 15mm)
