PID methods• Particle identification
(PID) is crucial in most experiments (from /K identification in B physics to e/ separation at 10-2 level for p< 1GeV)
• At low momenta TOF methods are used (p 3-4 GeV/c)

Examples of TOF detectors Based on scintillator counters:
simple to made, sensitive to B, read at both ends by PMTs, good resolutions -> 50-100 ps (depends mainly on L,Npe)
Based on PPC or spark chambers: some care in production, not sensitive
to B, very good resolutions -> 30-50 ps
Based on RPC’s: cheap (suitable for large areas), not sensitive to B, R&D in development, very good resolutions -> 50 ps

M. Bonesini - 13th IPRD conference 7
Problems for high resolution scintillator based TOF (t < 100 ps)
pl dominated by geometrical dimensions (L/Npe)
scint ps (mainly connected with produced number of ’s fast and scintillator characteristics, such as risetime)
PMT PMT TTS (typically 70-150 ps)
• Additional problems in harsh environments:
1. B field (-> fine mesh PMTs/shielding of conventional PMTs)
2. High particle rates (tuning of operation HV for PMTs)
![Page 8: Performances of SiPMT array readout for Fast Time-of-Flight Detectors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56813a8f550346895da28add/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SiPMT arrays vs PMTs
M. Bonesini - 13th IPRD conference 8
• PMTs 1. Large active area > 0.5 – 1 inches2. Gain G depends on external magnetic fields B (needs
shielding, aside fine-mesh PMTs)3. Good TTS: typical values in the range 150-400 ps4. Fast PMTs are quite expensive: 1000-1500 E5. Needs HV: typically 1000-2000 V6. Low noise rate ~1KHZ
• SiPMT arrays1. Active area up to 1x1 cm2 typically2. Gain G insensitive to external magnetic fields, but depend
on temperature T (needs feedback)3. Good STPR response for single SiPMT ~140-300 ps4. Quite cheap 5. Needs low voltages: ~30 V for SenSL, Advansid , ~70 V for
Hamamatsu 6. High noise rate up to MHZ

Studies of SPTR (timing for single photoelectrons)
M. Bonesini - 13th IPRD conference 11
• Timing studies are usually done for single SiPMT (not arrays) with single p.e.
• For scintillation counters needs to study multiphoton response
from V.Puill et al NIM A695 (2012) 354
![Page 12: Performances of SiPMT array readout for Fast Time-of-Flight Detectors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56813a8f550346895da28add/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A small remark
M. Bonesini - 13th IPRD conference 12
• Timing studies are usually done with fast lasers (eg 30-50 ps FWHM ): good for single p.e. studies, but scintillator have typically 200-300 p.e. signals and scintillator risetime are in the 1-2 ns range …
• Needs laser signals that resemble more physical scintillation light

Test setup: home-made laser system
M. Bonesini - 13th IPRD conference 14
1. Fast Avtech AVO pulser + Nichia violet laser diode ( ~408 nm)
2. Laser pulses width selectable between 120 ps and 3 ns length, with a ~200 ps risetime (simulate scintillator response)
3. Laser pulse height selectable to give scintillator response between a fraction of MIP and 10-50 MIPS
4. Laser repetition rate selectable between ~100 Hz and 1 MHz
5. The laser beam is splitted by a 50% beamsplitter to give a reference t0 on a fast photodiode (Thorlabs DET10A risetime ~1 ns) amplified via a CAEN A1423 wideband inverting fast amplifier (up to 51 dB, ~1.5 GHz bandwidth)

Tuning of laser setup • Tune laser settings to
reproduce testbeam results (twith a single counter equipped with R4998 PMTs and MIP response
• Study single counter response substituting PMTS readout with SiPMT arrays readout
• Advantage as respect to cosmics is the possibility to collect a high statistics in a short time, with different exp conditions (amplifier tuning, …)

Foreseen improvements
M. Bonesini - 13th IPRD conference 28
•Higher bandwith amplifiers (bandwidth > 1 GHz)•Extension of measurements to NUV extended SiPMT arrays (better matched to scintillator emission max ~400 nm)•Use of better signal cables (eg RG213 instead of RG58)•See effect of CF discriminators vs LE discriminators (even if we expect no big change: laser light signal/cosmics signal at counter center + equalized response of photodetectors)•Test of fully equipped detectors at BTF
![Page 29: Performances of SiPMT array readout for Fast Time-of-Flight Detectors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56813a8f550346895da28add/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
M. Bonesini - 13th IPRD conference 29
Conclusions SiPMT arrays may be a good repacement for fast
PMTs in scintillator time-of-flight system Preliminary conclusions show a “comparable”
timing resolution with fast PMTs Clearly results must be validated by testbeam
(one at BTF is foreseen) Some optimization may be needed: use of fast
(> 1 GHz) amplifiers, NUV SiPMT arrays (instead of RGB ones) to better match scintillator emission

Estimation of Npe
M. Bonesini - 13th IPRD conference 31
• If QADC P.H. distribution is fully described by photoelectron statistics : Npe=(<R>/R)2 where peak value R and sigma R are obtained with a gaussian fit.
• From published data (R. Bertoni et al NIM …) we expect 200-300 pe per MIP; from QADC fit we obtain that our standard light intensity is equivalent to 2-3 MIP
