Proposal for a Wire Chamber-Based CsI Photocathode for a B-Factory RICH
A design is considered for a CsI photocathode incorporating a proportional wire anode plane. This would have the advantage over the previously considered mesh anode or near wire anode that the anode wires could be moved further away from the cathode pads, allowing position to be determined using interpolation of imaged charge. This would enable comparable or superior position resolution with la...
متن کاملdesigning a fast locking pll
a phase-locked loop (pll) based frequency synthesizer is an important circuit that is used in many applications, especially in communication systems such as ethernet receivers, disk drive read/write channels, digital mobile receivers, high-speed memory interfaces, system clock recovery and wireless communication system. other than requiring good signal purity such as low phase noise and low spu...
Single photoelectron detection with a low-pressure gas electron multiplier coupled to a CsI photocathode
We have operated the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) coupled to a CsI photocathode for the detection of single UV photons. Gains of up to 10 000 were observed with a single GEM in pure hydrocarbons in the range 40}400 Torr. Using a double-GEM structure, we have detected single photoelectrons on a strip electrode. We have studied the single-electron detection e$ciency of the GEM, a crucial paramet...
متن کاملCharacterization of CsI photocathodes for use in a fast RICH detector
We have completed a series of measurements that provide a basic understanding of the properties of CsI photocathodes for use in ring imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors. The quantum efficiency of CsI has been measured relative to an NIST-calibrated photodiode and is in excellent agreement with a similar measurement by Breskin et al. A representative value of the quantum efficiency is 20% at 180 ...
متن کاملProton in-beam test of a R3B CsI(Tl) prototype
The R 3 B calorimeter/spectrometer CALIFA[1] consists of 4000 CsI(Tl) crystals of 7 different shapes in a densely packed geometry. The prototype, produced at Lund University, belongs to the polar angular region 40°80°. It has 3x5 crystals, each with 10x30 mm 2 front area, 15x42 mm 2 back area, 10x10 mm 2 readout area and a total length of 130 mm. The extension of the detector part (100-130 mm) ...
