Run Plan

Summary

Task	Time Budget
Beam setup	0.5 days
Testing 20 new blocks	2.5 days
Silicon test	1.0 day
Bleaching/Re-irradiation test	0.5-1 day
Testing old blocks	12 blocks/day

Accelerator Settings

beam energy	20 MeV
Rep Rate:	30 Hz
I_peak:	60 mA/pulse
pulse width:	0.1 [math]\mu[/math]s (100 ns)

Day 1

Beam setup & 2-3 hours

1) Shoot glass plate at 30cm from exit port 2) Temperature test with 1 old block 3) Irradiation batch 1:3 new blocks + 1 old ``reference block 4) Irradiation batch 2:4 new blocks Bleaching of batch 2: 29 hours 5) Irradiation batch 3:4 new blocks

Day 2

Irradiation batch \#4:&4 new blocks\\ Irradiation batch \#5:&4 new blocks\\ Irradiation {\bf batch \#2}:&4 new blocks\\ Bleaching of batch \#2:&24 hours\\

Day 3

Accelerator Settings

beam energy	20 MeV
Rep Rate:	30 Hz
I_peak:	60 mA/pulse
pulse width:	0.1 [math]\mu[/math]s (100 ns)

1.) Irradiate Silicon detector for 2-3 hours

Minimum ionizing particles deposit 0.19 MeV of energy [math](3\cdot 10^{-14}[/math]/,J). If we want to irradiate [math]10^9/20[/math] particles/s, that makes [math]1.5\cdot 10^{-6}[/math]J/s. Taking into account the strip size and the heat capacity of Si (19.8 J/mol/K), this makes a temperature variation of 0.045 K/min (negligeable).

2.) Irradiation PB crystal batch \#2 then Bleaching of batch #2 for 38 hours

Day 4

Irradiation batch \#6:&4 new blocks\\ Irradiation batch \#7:&4 new blocks\\ Irradiation batch \#8:&4 new blocks\\

Day 5

Irradiation {\bf batch \#2}\\ \multicolumn{2}{l}{Silicon test}\\ Day 6 -- Bleaching of batch \#2:&24h\\
