 Wed Aug 9 14:40:28 2023, Carole, Nic, Jeroen, AIDA HV SUPPLY & PULSER TEST 
|
Tests with the HV supply (CAEN N1419ET) and Pulse Generator ( BNC PB-5 ) in the detector lab on the crate behind the DEGAS detectors, carried out the 9th August 2023
Both modules were plugged
Test 1: pulse generetor on 2 Hz
- DC, 50 ohm - HV OFF - attachment 1
- DC, 50 ohm - HV OFF, Zoom on the noise - attachment 2
- DC, 50 ohm - HV 50 V, Zoom on the noise - attachment 3
Test 2: HV supply Channel 1 - CORE and 2 - BRAID, pulse generator still on
- AC 1 Mohm - HV OFF - attachment 4
- AC 1 Mohm - HV 50 V - attachment 5
No differences were observed between crate OFF, HV OFF and HV 50 V. An important periodic noise (green on the pictures) was observed and was significantly smaller when unpluging the HV module from the crate. The thickness of the baseline noise seems to be comparable to entry 882, attachment 33-35.

Ignoring 'hot' channels, reduce rates to < 50Hz/channel for p+n slow comparator threshold 120-150keV and n+n slow comparator threshold 350-400keV
If we assume that this estimates the 5x sigma threshold => p+n sigma c. 27keV rms, 64keV FWHM and n+n sigma c. 75keV rms, 176keV FWHM
Given FEE64-DSSSD cable lengths, optimal p+n performance is c. 40-50keV FWHM so current tests begin to approach this - little extrinsic noise observed for preamp signals
We continue to observe significant ( though very much improved ) extrinsic noise for n+n strips so current noise performance could be improved by x2-3.

Overall, effect of ThorLabs filters appears to belimited. Perhaps not unexpected as FEE64 adaptor PCBs also have a HV RC filter.

All front & rear field plate connections appear to provide a high resistance short to ground for detector bias. This may be related to issues observed biasing DSSSD via aida01 & aida09 - https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/874

Significant improvement in noise for aida06 & aida08 but still not as good as aida02 & aida04. Some additional extrinsic noise observed for aida02 & aida04.
No change in 1.8.L spectra

Restore original cabling
16.55 Swap aida09 HDMI cable from MACB #4 port 1 to MACB #5 port 1 - power cycle and restart - no change - aida09 clock not locked

slow comparator 0x64 -> 0xa
BNC PB-5 pulser frequency 100Hz so expect rate of ADC data items per FEE64 to be c. 6.4kHz
attachment 25 - aida06 & aida08 ground from FEE64 cooling plate to adaptor PCB fitted, test - connected to aida02, aida04, aida06 & aida08
attachment 26 - aida06 & aida08 ground from FEE64 cooling plate to adaptor PCB fitted, test - disconnected from aida02, aida04, aida06 & aida08
attachment 27 - aida06 & aida08 ground from FEE64 cooling plate to adaptor PCB not fitted, test - disconnected from aida02, aida04, aida06 & aida08
Rev A adaptors require grounding (as expected). Output of EG&G Ortec 534 produces c. 15kHz sinsusoid at test input - cable length/capacitative load?

Wed Apr 12 12:32:13 2023, PJCS, ASIC power short problem
|
I have taken videos with an Infrared camera of the power being supplied to one isolated ASIC on a mezzanine.
The power supply is a bench supply with current limit set to 3A.
The centre of the ASIC glowed white hot for a short time and then the whole ASIC shows as hot. Ths the short is on the ASIC and not the bond wires IMO.
I am unable to globally publish the videos at present as I only have a private google drive account.
Please contact Tom Davinson for further details. |
