The signal below represents a measurement of the Trig out signal from a 10 cm x 10 cm ionization chamber with 3 GEM preamplifiers. The chamber gas a 90/10 % mixture of Arcon and CO2. The Drift HV was set to 3200 Volts and the GEM preamplifier HV distribution network was set to 2900 Volts. The V792 CAEN ADC channels have a gain of 100 fC/channel. The main signal peak appears at channel number 759 and represents an accumulation of [math]75.9 \pm 4[/math] pC of charge.

Electronics Settings:

TrigOut goes to Timing Filter Amplifier(Coarse Gain=X6, Fine GAin=7.5ns && Integrate=20ns) and after amplification to ADC
StripOut is used as a trigger and gate. The signal from the strip is amplified by the Timing Filter Amplifier (Coarse Gain=X20, Fine Gain=12.5ns && Integrate=500ns)
The Threshold on DIFF. CFD is set to 0.70 (ULD=9.9~10 && LLD=0.5)

Electronics Setup

TrigOut and the stripsignal, both are used as a pulse and go to ADC.
The pulse from the Strips is used as a trigger and gate.

The pulse from the trigout is delayed, Amplified by the Timinig Filter Amplifier(Coarse_Gain=X20, Fine_Gain=8.5 && Integrate=20ns).
Signal from the Strips goes to the Timing Filter Amplifier(Coarse_Gain=X20, Fine_Gain=10.5 && Integrate=20ns). Amplified pulse is devided into two signals, One is sued as a trigger and gate and second as a pulse for ADC. The first one(gate && trigger) is amplified using the Timing Filter Amplifier(Coarse_Gain=X2, Fine_Gain=10 && Integrate=50ns) and used in DIFF. CFD for gate and trigger. Second output from the Amplified strips, goes to delay box(TENNELEC TC 215 DELAY AMPLIFIER) and putted to the ADC.

The results shown below are for different Diff. CFD values.

1). Threshold Values: Threshold=1.90, ULD=9.65 && LLD=2.10

Run Number is r613

2). Threshold Values: Threshold=3.10, ULD=9.65 && LLD=2.90

Run Number is r622

2). Threshold Values: Threshold=3.70, ULD=9.65 && LLD=3.50

Run Number is r624

GEM RUN Number r624 charge collected by the strips and charge leaving last GEM foil-12-12-08.gif

The result shown below is reasonable. The charge that left the last GEM foil is greater than the charge collected by the strips.

Finding out what is gain for each channel using the Stanford pulse generator.

Setting:

Run Number: r634 && r635

Amplified pulse for two channels.gifAmplified pulse for two channels swapped.gif

Original pulse from stanford pulse generator goes to the ADC: r636 && r637


Pulse for two channels.gifPulse for two channels swapped.gif

I used the attenuator for both channels and it was set to the same value: 12dB = 10.7918.

[math]X db = 20 log_{10}\frac{I_1}{I_2}[/math]
[math]\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 10^{12/20} = 3.98[/math]

Gain Calculation

Gain_for_Channel_1 = Gain_TrigOut = [math]\frac{175 \times 10.7918}{110} = 17.1688[/math]
Gain_for_Channel_5 = Gain_Strip = [math]\frac{650 \times 10.7918}{145} = 48.377[/math]
