  4. MEG detector

  5. COBRA Magnet (Constant Bending Radius) Solenoid with a gradient field • Constant bending radius independent of emission angles -> Enable to sharply define the absolute momentum window of positrons • Low energy positrons quickly swept out -> Good pattern recognition and stable chamber operation

  6. Construction finished! Now @PSI Superconducting coil in cryostat. Compensation coil potentiometer Support frame

  7. On the axis Excitation Test Completed Successfully! • Magnetic field inside the SC was measured. →Good Agreement with the calculation! • Fringe field around the photon detector region was measured. →Suppressed by compensation coils. Really graded!! Measured field Design field

  8. Liq. Xe calorimeter Detect scintillation light with 800 Liter liq.Xe and with 800 PMTs Liq. Xe • Uniform detector • High Light yield • Short decay time Minimize the pile-up of gamma event Design of liq.Xe calorimeter almost completed The start of the construction: 2004

  9. Large Prototype Stability of the detector, Study of cryogenics, absorption length, calibration method…

  14. Problem with old Type PMT UV 83MeV g Beam on off on BLUE 55MeV g The Deterioration of old type PMT output due to the high rate background. • Output from Al Strip Type PMT (new type) needs to be tested under the high rate background, 10^6 ~ 10^8 p.e. per sec

  15. PMT Test @ Univ. of Tokyo • Set up Liq. Xe PMT 5.5MeV alpha peak Alpha source(241Am ) LED PMT

  17. Condition and Procedure • alpha source : ~200Hz, • LED pulse height: 500p.e. ~ 12000p.e. per event • pulse shape: ~10nsec • rate: 100Hz ~ 10KHz • Trigger: alpha self trigger (veto by LED driver pulse) • Procedure • Pedestal Run & Gain calibration using LED • Alpha Run @ LED OFF • Alpha Run @ LED ON (LED : high rate background) • -Change LED Pulse height, rate and PMT gain • Investigate the cause of the change in PMT output • Breeder current ? • Deterioration of photocathode? Peak/Sigma (gain independent)

  19. Summary Photon detector : Large prototype @PSI background estimation The construction start in 2004. COBRA magnet :Now @ PSI ! Installation & Engineering runs in piE5 PMT R&D : Problems with background in the beam area will be investigated this year. (Background measurement) All the detectors will be installed in piE5 beam line by 2005. Engineering runs will start in 2005. MEG experiment starts at the beginning of 2006.
