LHCb and the RICH Sub-Detectors
• Used for Particle Identification: the radius of the ring of Cherenkov photons created by charged particles can be used to infer its velocity.
• 2 Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors to cover different momentum and polar angle ranges.

RICH1 Schematic
• Charged particle (e.g. ) passes through 2 different radiators– Different refractive indices for
wider coverage of photon angles
• Cherenkov photons collected by mirrors onto photon detector panels
• Data from both panels put together to reconstruct the Cherenkov ring

Eyes of the RICH: the HPDs• Hybrid Photon-Detectors
(HPDs) are used in the RICH• Uses the photo-electric effect• Bi-alkali photocathode
deposited on back of quartz window
• HPD is vacuum sealed• Electric field focuses
photoelectrons to silicon sensor• Sensor is bump-bonded to
readout chip• Readout speed matched to
25ns clock• 8192 pixels of size 500m x
62.5m

HPD Testing
• 550 HPDs needed to be independently tested and categorised.• Photon Detector Test Facilities (PDTF) were set up in Scotland to do
this: 2 stations each at Edinburgh and Glasgow• The Quantum Efficiency (QE) of a subsample of the HPDs were
measured.• QE = Overall probability an incoming photon produces a detected
photoelectron.

QE Results
• Quantum Efficiency (QE) improved over the manufacturing process:– improve S/B ratio from QE

• Left: a typical HPD’s QE results. Close agreement with manufacturer’s measurements
• Right: an early prototype HPD which shows Ion Feedback due to degraded vacuum

Result of Bad HPD Vacuum:Ion Feedback (IFB)
• Vacuum degradation: gas particles inside HPD body
• Photoelectrons ionise these gas particles
• Gas ions drift back to photocathode by electric fields
• Many secondary electrons released when gas ions reach photocathode
• These secondary electrons reach the silicon sensor after a delay, typically 250ns after the primary photoelectron
• In very bad cases, chain reaction occurs as these secondary electrons also ionise gas particles

Monitoring HPDs Mounted in RICH
• Once shipped to CERN, HPDs mounted into columns and installed in RICH– RICH1 has 196 HPDs– RICH2 has 288 HPDs
• The commissioned RICH detectors go through test runs, with a laser light source

RICH2 HPD Pixel Hitmap• Many test runs carried out
over the months• Continuous Wave (CW)
Laser used• This hitmap is for RICH2’s
288 HPDs– 2.36 million pixels
• 3 million data readout events
• Hitmap shows how many hits each individual pixel received
• Most HPDs read out fine, but some are bad due to vacuum degradation

Glowing HPDs
• HPDs producing light at high vacuum degradation• 5% Ion Feedback (IFB) threshold used as warning flag
for HPDs that may start glowing

IFB Development Over Time• We needed to know when
to expect HPDs to start glowing so we can prepare replacements in advance
• IFB was monitored over several months
• The IFB development of the majority fit a linear model. This made IFB extrapolations possible

Projected IFB in 5 Years’ Time• RICH detectors need
good HPDs until 2015• Extrapolated IFB shows
only a minority of HPDs will be at risk of glowing
• Glowing HPDs are replaced by spares while they get repaired

Conclusions
• We have commissioned both RICH detectors and most of our HPDs are working fine
• Quantum Efficiencies of HPDs exceeded specifications and gradually improved during manufacturing process
• HPDs have good performance in RICH detector test runs with laser light source
• Causes of higher rates of vacuum degradation in a minority of HPDs currently being investigated
