Update September 2024 - joint XAMS project
| Projects | DRI | Main dependencies | Status | Finish by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finalise reflectivity measurements of DUNE cryostat components | Marjolein/Vikas/Corryenne | Oct 2024 | ||
| Fluorescence measurements in VULCAN | Anna | |||
| Delayed electrons and g1 in XAMS | Joost | |||
| Calibration of XAMS | Noor | |||
| Reflectance of DUNE cryostat components | Corryenne | June 2024 | ||
| Measure time stability of D2 lamp intensity | ||||
| Determine effect of exposure to radiation on fluorescence of plastics |
| Task - hardware | DRI | Dependencies | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design SiPM holder for fluorescence measurements | Anna | Reflectivity study finished | |
| Set up and test cooling system for samples, SiPM | Anna | ||
| Fully reconfigure VULCAN for fluorescence measurements | Anna | cooling system and SiPM holder ready | |
| Test if signal from S13360-6050-PE is good with current VULCAN read-out board - if not, work with ET to design new circuit | Anna/Joost | ||
| Test how signal from S13360-6050PE degrades when connected over a long cable as will be the case in XAMS - decide if we need pre-amplifier inside XAMS | Anna/Joost | ||
| Procure SiPM read-out board - 4 channels, S13360-6050PE/CS SiPMs - from ET | Anna/Joost | Previous SiPM test results | |
| Install and test 16-channel digitiser for XAMS | AP | ||
| Set up XAMS to start a run | Tobias | ||
| Re-design the guts of XAMS to include SiPM readout of a possible fluorescence signal (new PTFE sleeve) | Joost |
| Task - software/analysis | DRI | Dependencies | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| XAMS MC - simulate calibration sources, g1 expectation | AP/? | ||
| VULCAN MC - simulate photon paths/coverage fraction of SiPMs | Anna | ||
| Based on XENON1T/nT data, calculate possible PTFE fluorescence efficiencies and compare to sensitivity achievable in VULCAN | Pranati | ||
