Abstract

The Single Phase (SP) TPC readout electronics are referred to as the Cold Electronics (CE) because they will operate in LAr, to minimize channel capacitance and noise by keeping the length of the connection between the anode wires and its corresponding electronics input to an absolute minimum. In this study, the CE system and preliminary results from the CE testing at warm and cold conditions after their installation on the protoDUNE-SP detector are presented.

The ProtoDUNE-SP LArTPC electronics production, commissioning, and performance

Journal Article Adams, D. ; Bass, M. ; Bishai, M. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

The ProtoDUNE-SP detector is a large-scale prototype of the Single-Phase (SP) Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) design proposed for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). 15,360 LArTPC wires are instrumented with low electronic noise pre-amplifier and digitization ASICs integrated into Front End Motherboards (FEMBs) operating at cryogenic temperature within the cryostat. The large number of electronics channels and high performance specifications required a large-scale production electronics quality control effort, careful installation into Anode Plane Assemblies (APAs), and rigorous detector commissioning. This successful collaboration-wide effort achieved a working LArTPC electronics channel percentage of 99.7% (15,318 of 15,360 channels in total),more »« less

FELIX-Based Readout of the Single-Phase ProtoDUNE Detector

Journal Article Borga, Andrea ; Church, Eric ; Filthaut, Frank ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

Large liquid argon (LAr) time projection chambers (TPCs) have been adopted for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) experiment's far detector, which will be composed of four 17-kton detectors situated 1.5 km underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. This represents a large increase in scale compared to existing experiments. Both single- and dual-phase technologies will be validated at CERN, in cryostats capable of accommodating full-size detector modules, and exposed to low-energy charged particle beams. This program, called ProtoDUNE, also allows for extensive tests of data acquisition strategies. The Front-End LInk eXchange (FELIX) readout system was initially developed within themore »« less

Operation of a LAr-TPC equipped with a multilayer LEM charge readout

Journal Article Baibussinov, B. ; Centro, S. ; Farnese, C. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

A novel detector for ionization signals in a single phase LAr-TPC has been experimented in the ICARINO test facility at the INFN Laboratories in Legnaro. It is based on the adoption of a multilayer Large Electron Multiplier (LEM) replacing the traditional anodic wire arrays. Cosmic muon tracks were detected allowing the measurement of energy deposition and a first determination of the signal to noise ratio. The analysis of the recorded events thus demonstrated the 3D reconstruction capability of this device for ionizing events in liquid Argon. The collected fraction of ionization charge is close to about 90%, with signal tomore »« less

Studies on the scintillation light detection in the ProtoDUNE Dual Phase liquid-argon TPC and its capability for the supernova trigger in DUNE

Thesis/Dissertation Gallego-Ros, Ana

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that aims at addressing key questions in neutrino physics in the next decades. Its scientific program includes the detection of the neutrino flux from a core-collapse supernova. The DUNE far detector will have four 17-kt mass liquid-argon (LAr) time-projection chamber (TPC) modules. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP), a dual-phase LAr TPC with 300 t of active mass and 6 m of drift distance, was operated with cosmic muons in 2019-2020 as part of an R&D program at the CERN Neutrino Platform to demonstrate the feasibility of the technology atmore »« less

Cryogenic electronics for noble liquid neutrino detectors

Journal Article Chen, Hucheng ; Radeka, Veljko - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

In this paper we present the general features of cryogenic (or “cold”) electronics for noble liquid time projection chambers, with design principles and details for neutrino physics, a brief history of the technology and details of recent research and development that is driving the design of the detectors under construction. Finally, some comments on future R&D envisioned and the impact of this work on other fields is described. “Cold” in the context of this work applies to CMOS devices operated at 77 K and above, at liquids temperatures of LAr (89 K), LKr (125 K) and LXe (165 K), withmore »« less
