1 University of Chicago Simulations Guided Efforts to Understand MCP Performance M. Wetstein, B. Adams, M. Chollet, A. Elagin, A. Vostrikov, R. Obaid, B. Hayhurst V. Ivanov, Z. Insepov, Q. Peng, A. Mane, J. Elam S. Jokela, I. Veryovkin, A. Zinovev LAPPD Collaboration Meeting Dec 9 211
2 An opportunity ALD gives us the unique ability to vary electrical, secondary electron yield (SEY) and geometric properties of MCPs independently. Compared with commercial MCPs, which are typically made from a single material (lead-glass), we can produce MCPs with much wider variety of properties, other properties held fixed. Can explore limiting cases and place stronger constraints on MCP models. 2
3 MCP characterization - Experimental Method 6. Our main focus: 2 samples: 2 nm Al2O3 2 nm MgO Two materials demonstrate similar secondary electron yield for striking energies below 1 ev... Nsecondaries nm MgO 2 nm Al2O3 S. Jokela, I. Veryovkin, A. Zinovev The curves start to diverge at high energies striking energy (ev) 2 nm MgO SEY data 6 Is the MCP avalanche driven by the smaller fraction of high energy strikes? What is the role of backscattering? SEY, [1/electron] Z. Insepov Data: tilt= Fit: tilt= Fit: tilt=1 Fit: tilt=2 Fit: tilt=3 Fit: tilt=4 Fit: tilt=5 Fit: tilt=6 Fit: tilt=7 Fit: tilt= Primary electron energy, ev 3
4 Friday, November 25, 211 MCP characterization - Experimental Method true secondaries are typically low energy and isotropic back-scattered electrons keep most of the original energy and remain at grazing incidence. Friday, November 25, 211 BS probabilities are calculated form a theoretical model. Overall normalization is left to tune... 4
5 Details in Simulations: The LAPPD Simulations Program Goal to develop a predictive, pseudo-physical MCP model to help guide MCP design. Help improve understanding of what is going on inside the pores. Takes experimental materials characterization as input. Two components: true secondary electron yield (SEY) specular reflection of incident primary electron, eg backscattering or BS SEY at normal incidence is measured. SEY at grazing incidence is extrapolated using a theoretical material model quasi-elastic reflection of the primary electron is derived from a theory. Normalization of the BS probability is a tunable parameter (controls the fraction of highly energetic electrons in the pore). 5
6 Facilities and Resources: ANL MCP Characterization Lab: A fast (sub-psec), pulsed laser with precision optics 8 nm Ti:Sapph laser pulse durations O(1) femtoseconds 1 Hz repetition rate non-linear optics to produce UV(266 nm) and blue light (4nm) average power ~8 mwatt optics capable of micron-level translations and potential to focus on single pores Vacuum systems for testing 33 mm photocathode-mcp-anode stacks approximating a complete device Capable of holding variable stacks of 1-3 MCPs and simple photocathode able to accommodate multiple readout designs capable of 1-7 torr 2 complete systems with parts for a third 8 MCP testing system (now commissioning) Fixtures for testing sealed-tube detectors (now commissioning) multi-ghz RF electronics several oscilloscopes with 3-1 Gz analog bandwidth high gain, low noise RF amplifiers high-frequency splitters, filters, etc 6
7 The APS-Team 7
8 Method Control the number of photoelectrons (PEs) by attenuating the laser to the point where only a small fraction of pulses produce signal. Trigger on laser pulses to achieve very precise measurements of transit time Control size and position of beam to isolate individual spots on the MCP Record each pulse separately to produce statistical distributions. Integrate and fit the pulses to determine arrival time and gain. Able to discriminate between signal pulses and dark-current (random firing of the MCP) Single plate testing allows us to study gainvoltage behavior without saturation. Single plate is coupled to a low-noise amplifier fraction of pulses with MCP signal / ndf / 4 p ±.2996 p ± average laser intensity (nanowatts) time from trigger = MCP transit time + known optical and electronic delays... Mean Pulse Shape, MCP 72/78 at 2.6 kv UV intensity (nw) 1V anode gap 8V anode gap 5V anode gap 2V anode gap Area of pulse = total charge. When divided by incident charge, this gives the gain time (seconds) x 1 9 8

Slope of these curves should be identical if each strike is statistically independent of the next. Could be pointing to BS! 1
