Silicon Telescope
• Tracking telescope based on
silicon strips and pixel planes
- http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/
article/piiS0168900215015521
• 5 μm resolution on DUT
• 3.8 x 3.8 cm coverage of
silicon strips
• Moveable arms and motion
table for sample positioning

Off-The-Shelf Data Acquisition (OTSDAQ)
• FNAL computing division developed, flexible and scalable system allowing
integration with other devices
- Based on XDAQ (CMS) and ArtDAQ (Fermilab)
• Tied into facility MWPCs, Cherenkov detectors, silicon strip telescope.
• Several groups (CMS outer tracking, CMS Timing, RD53 chip, LHCb) have
integrated and taken fully synchronized data with the telescope

NIM+ • Fermilab built a board (NIM+) that accept NIM/ TTL signals and it can be plugged in any FPGA board that has a standard FMC connector • Firmware written to to allow sync with a 40Mhz clock (LHC) • Already used by multiple experiments • Ethernet controlled can stay in enclosures • Streams trigger data allowing multiple users to run at the same time with different trigger rates 9 01/27/2020 E. Niner | 8th BTTB Conference
LHC Studies • CMS, ATLAS, LHCb • Rad hard sensor testing for HL- LHC (pixels, outer tracker, RD53) • Timing detectors: LGAD, SiPM+LYSO • DAQ testing • New telescope for ATLAS studies 10 01/27/2020 E. Niner | 8th BTTB Conference
Non-LHC Collider Studies • Electron Ion Collidor (EIC) and sPHENIX detector R&D • Calorimeters, trackers, vertex detectors, TPCs, GEM and Micromegas • Ongoing program testing options. Component integration and DAQ testing 11 01/27/2020 E. Niner | 8th BTTB Conference
Neutrinos • LArIAT: Liquid Argon detector R&D • NOvA: Constraining systematic uncertainties • EMPHATIC: Measure hadron production to constrain flux for neutrino experiments 12 01/27/2020 E. Niner | 8th BTTB Conference
Other Studies • Testing components of Mu2e • General LAPPD R&D for time of flight system • Crayfis: Cellphone cameras as particle detectors for cosmic rays 13 01/27/2020 E. Niner | 8th BTTB Conference
Irradiation Test Area
• Large demand for on-site
facility to irradiate sensors
- Funding received in October
2019 to begin facility
construction
• Refurbished experimental
hall downstream of Linac
The Cave
• Beam characteristics
- 400 MeV Protons
- 5e12 protons per pulse
- ~40 pulses per minute
- 12 hours per week
• Beam available ~8 months
per year whenever
accelerator is running
14 01/27/2020 E. Niner | 8th BTTB ConferenceIrradiation Test Area • Beamline, shielding cave, and infrastructure underway - Motion platforms for sample positioning - Powered sample tests possible - Cold box and chiller available in Fall 2020 • Schedule being driven by shielding assessment, targeting beam commissioning in March • Short run this spring with silicon samples before summer beam shutdown in June - Other materials, expanded infrastructure in Fall • Scheduling in coordination with FTBF 15 01/27/2020 E. Niner | 8th BTTB Conference
Becoming a User
• First step is to contact the facility staff and write the TSW (Technical Scope of
Work)
- Agreement between test beam collaboration and the lab over what resources are used.
- Do you need significant engineering or tech support? Computing support? Will you have
enough users to cover your shifts?
- Document can be broad and cover multiple years and uses
• TSW information can be found here: http://programplanning.fnal.gov/tsw_orc/
- Email us: rominsky@fnal.gov (Mandy), edniner@fnal.gov (Evan)
- Approvals typically take 4-6 weeks, depends on needs
• Scheduling for FY21 beam run (~Nov 2020 - June/July 2021) will start
around May, but reach out anytime!
- MTest requests for typically 1-4 week periods with 12 hours of primary beam use, many
groups can be accommodated at once
- MCenter requests at lower energies, often longer periods, single user
- New this year will be ITA scheduling
16 01/27/2020 E. Niner | 8th BTTB ConferenceSummary • New irradiation test area coming online in 2020! • Continually improving facility resources and the user experience. Suggestions always welcome • A big part of our mission is outreach, we encourage students to come and we support interns over the summer. • We look forward to seeing you at Fermilab!
