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 - also use Hamamatsu board and compare 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 - together with ET Noor/Joost
Procure SiPM read-out board - 4+ channels, S13360-6050PE/CS SiPMs - from ET, possibly a total of 4 or so if economic Anna/Joost Previous SiPM test results
Install and test 16-channel digitiser for XAMS AP/Maricke XAMS test run finished?
Set up XAMS to start a run Tobias
Measure rest-gas composition in XAMS Noor
Measure outgassing from PTFE Noor
Re-design the guts of XAMS to include SiPM readout of a possible fluorescence signal (new PTFE sleeve). Ask advice from Marieke and from Oscar (from MT). Come up with a proposal. Joost/Noor
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
Analyse data from XAMS. Ask Carlo for help
Analyse data from VULCAN. Ask Marjolein for help
