FCAL DAQ Status and plans

1. FCAL DAQ Status and plans Leszek Zawiejski Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN, Cracow AIDA Kick-off meeting 17 February 2011 CERN

2. ILC / ILD BeamCal, Pair Monitor LHCal TPC LumiCal FCAL detectors and ILD HCAL ECAL BeamCal + Pair Monitor - determination of beam parameters, helps to reduce the background in physics studies LumiCal - precise measurement of the luminosity GaAs 40 tiles(4sectors) were fabricated (Hamamatsu) and distributed to IFJPAN, TAU and Zeuthen Si sensors Si / W calorimeter : 30 layers, W (3.5 mm), Si ( 320 m) Si / GaAs (diamond,sapphire) calorimeter

3. Test beam measuremens of LumiCal / BeamCal prototypes First test beam : DESY, August 2010 + fanout + front-end ASIC or DUT = • Test beam activities: •  the full readout chain with • silicon sensors, • kapton fanout, • front-end ASIS was checked • signals from EM shower development was measured Si GaAs ZEUS telescope electron beam DUT • Results: •  Full redout chain works correctly • and in agreement with expectations. • Monte Carlo predictions for shower development agree with data Tungsten FCAL DAQ development - closely connected to the next test beam measurements For the next test beam measurements (2011/2012), FCAL calorimeter prototypes will have one DAQ system where both the silicon and GaAs sensors will be used. However, the final version of FCAL DAQ probably will contain differences for both detectors

4. Calice DAQ system HDMI links Optical links CCC DIF: Detector InterFace LDA:Link/Data Aggregator ODR: Off-Detector Receiver CCC: Clock Control Card LumiCal / BeamCal sensors FCAL DAQ design : adaptation of the Calice DAQ concept

5. DIF prototype Start with commertial FPGA –SPARTAN6 (XILINX SP601) board • Need a detector board (DB) - FPGA and HDMI connectors and firmware: read data from sensors (FE ASIC) and send them to DIF board - prepared for test beam July 2011 • Design and build the final prototype of DIF - the commertial and DB will be as a single board -2012 • Build a link from DIF to LDA and test it- 2012. Further tests within the full FCAl DAQ system which will be built for AIDA calorimeter prototype - 2013 / 2014

6. First step towards DIF prototype– testbeam 2011 DB / DIF interconnection: HDMI connectors, cables, data concentrator (FPGA), firmware. Proposed assignment of the pins:

7. Towards the FCAL DAQ prototype • Zero level DAQ- data collection and transmission to DIF board – needs other board (detector board, DB) : 4x front-end ASIC, 4x mulichannel ADC, FPGA, ADC clock distribution, deconvolution, systems power supply and biasing AGH-UST - July 2011 • DIF - hardware and firmware (based on Xilinx evaluation board), test connection to LDA using available software - IFJPAN – prototype where DIF will be connected with DB using HDMI cables also for July 2011 • LDA & ODR - Link Data Agregator (LDA) is developed by Calice Collaboration. Adapting Calice software which will allow for test a connection to DIF and integration with a global DAQ system. TAU– work is ongoing, more activities (with the close contact with Ecole Polytechnique) - summer 2011 • DAQ Software -adapting existing Calice software for FCAL needs - TAU - 2012 and next years

8. Development of FCAL DAQ – AIDA calorimeter prototype • A flexible tungsten absorber structure, • depth 10 (20-30) X0, precise mechanics • Multichannel FE and ADC ASICS to instrument • consecutive sensor layers • Power pulsing •  Test of the full modules of the FCAL DAQ system • prototype in test beam measurements • at DESY and CERN •  Include DAQ of the alignment system • for LumiCal in a global test beam DAQ system 10 (20-30) tungsten layers together with silicon or GaAs sensors layers
