MaPMT Readout with boardBeetle:First Experiences Testbeam experiences: boardBeetle: multichannel boardBeetle: Events Thu 14.08.: first ever boardBeetle 1.2 finished and shipped to Edinburgh Thu 21.08.: first ever LED light signals via DAQ chain (boardBeetle 1.2) ? success!! Sun 24.08.-Sun 14.09.: testbeam Sun 31.08.: tuning of setup for Cherenkov light first Cherenkov photons with one boardBeetle 1.2 Thu 04.09.: tuning of read-out map for right geometry match first ring of Cherenkov photons ? success!! Tue 09.09.-Sat 13.09.: data taking for: Air, N2,CF4 for cluster of 9 MaPMT (Beetle 1.2) Sun 14.09.: mount of cluster with 6 MaPMT (Beetle 1.2MA0) lenses, DC-offsets,… ? ring fragments Zoom on probe-tested Chip Equipped boardBeetle Cluster Setup Cluster Setup: vessel Cluster Setup: with lenses Interface Board is missing… Pre-Testbeam Results using Heidelberg board at Edinburgh noise signal loss comparison Beetle 1.2 / Beetle 1.2 MA0 using boardBeetle at Edinburgh first spectra comparison Beetle 1.2 / Beetle 1.2 MA0 saturation Comparison using Heidelberg Board Signal Loss Study First Spectra with boardBeetle Saturation A) differential amplifier gain 10 seems too much for our signals easy fix: gain 5 remove serial 50? total gain maintained dynamic range doubled B) FED Edinburgh FED was configured single-ended, unipolar conversion to differential OK, but still unipolar (no level shifters), i.e. 0…0.75V instead of –0.75…0.75V ? 8-bit ? 7-bit reduction … at least the two devices match… Preliminary Testbeam Results first measurements with cluster: 8 8-dynode MaPMT 5 Beetle1.2 data frames, LED light, adjustment of pixel map, first Cherenkov ring timing optimisation noise level and CM suppression cluster of 8-dynode MaPMT Beetle1.2 half cluster of 12-dynode MaPMT Beetle1.2MA0 study of cross-talk from header to first channel application in RICH: photon yields: Air: 960 mbar N2: 960 mbar CF4: 80 mbar , 800 mbar Data Frames LED Light First Cherenkov
