Abstract:The Hadronic Forward calorimeters of the CMS experiment are Cherenkov calorimeters that use quartz fibers and 1728 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) for readout. The CMS detector upgrade project requires the current Hamamatsu R7525 PMTs to be replaced with 4-anode, high quantum efficiency R7600-M4 PMTs. The new PMTs will improve the detector resolution, as well as the capability of removing fake events due to signal created in the glass window of the PMT. Here, we report the dark current, anode gain, transit time, … Show more
“…The PM and SE mode characterization tests were done at the University of Iowa PMT test station [9,10]. All the tests were performed in light-tight boxes.…”
Hamamatsu single anode R7761 and multi-anode R5900-00-M16 Photomultiplier Tubes have been characterized for use in a Secondary Emission (SE) Ionization Calorimetry study. SE Ionization Calorimetry is a novel technique to measure electromagnetic shower particles in extreme radiation environments. The different operation modes used in these tests were developed by modifying the conventional PMT bias circuit. These modifications were simple changes to the arrangement of the voltage dividers of the baseboard circuits. The PMTs with modified bases, referred to as operating in SE mode, are used as an SE detector module in an SE calorimeter prototype, and placed between absorber materials (Fe, Cu, Pb, W, etc.). Here, the technical design of different operation modes, as well as the characterization measurements of both SE modes and the conventional PMT mode are reported.

“…Their characterisations at 800 V are high quantum efficiency (38 -39 %), high gain (> 10 6 ) , low dark current (< 1 nA) and fast timing (rise time < 2 ns, transit time < 25 ns and pulse width < 15 ns) [4]. They provide many improvements.…”

“…New multi-anode PMTs have four anodes, thinner window (< 1 mm) and a metal envelope. Their characterisations at 800 V are high quantum efficiency (38 -39 %), high gain (> 10 6 ) , low dark current (< 1 nA) and fast timing (rise time < 2 ns, transit time < 25 ns and pulse width < 15 ns) [7].…”
The CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is upgrading the photo-detection and readout system of the forward hadron calorimeter (HF). During Long Shutdown 1, all of the original PMTs were replaced with multi-anode, thin window photomultipliers. At the same time, the back-end readout system was upgraded to micro-TCA readout. Here we report on the experience with commissioning and calibrating the HF front-end as well as the online operational challenges of the micro-TCA system.

During Long Shutdown 1, all of the original photomultiplier tubes were replaced with multianode, thin window photomultipliers. At the same time, the backend electronics were upgraded to µTCA-based readout. Here we report on the commissioning, operations and near future plans of the forward hadron calorimeters Phase I Upgrade.
