CLAS Review
CLAS Drift Chamber Electronics
A Brief Review
• CLAS drift chamber reliability and experience is >10 years.
• Method to interface wires to circuit board has been very successful.
• Conductive Rubber ‘boot’ around crimp pins
• No radiation damage to rubber
• Reusable, low stress on crimp pin
• Good contact to circuit board hole
• Pre-amplifier is mounted directly to an interface board and connected to Sense
wire by circuit trace.
• Local voltage regulation for Pre-amplifiers on interface board
• Uncoated Pre-Amplifiers were showing signs of ‘whisker’ growth
• Low component count per interface board

• Use 4 electrons from Ionizing Particle – “Corner Clip” signal
• Use 10nS peak current time
• 3.2uA Sense wire signal to Pre-Amplifier from MIP
• Preamplifier is a trans-impedance amplifier with a 2mV/uA gain.
‘Post Amplifier’ receives differential signal and compensates
cable attenuation and adds additional gain stage.
• Pre-Amplifier combined with Post Amp/Receiver allow
discriminator setting to be above the chamber input noise( <0.4ua )
and still be sensitive to MIP signals for good timing resolution.

Safety Notes
• Reference JLAB ESH&Q manual:
• Chapter 6230 Electronic Equipment Safety
• Class 1 Hazard – ( Low )
• Low Voltage System < 50V < 50A
• High Voltage System >50V < 5mA
• All work performed in:
Mode 1  De-energized
Or
Mode 2  Non-manipulative measurements
• Low Voltage power cables are fused and supply is programmed for over-current trip
• High Voltage supply is current limited ( 40uA ) per supply cable
•
Soldering is performed with safety glasses
•
Cutting component leads is performed with safety glasses
• Required Personal Protective Equipment [PPE]
• When using circuit board cleaning solvents
• Material Safety Data Sheets – Included with board cleaning procedure
Summary
• CLAS experience will be very valuable
• Wire interface to High Voltage boards and Pre-Amplifier boards is a
proven method using conductive rubber connection
• Epoxy encapsulated Pre-Amps will eliminate corrosion problem
• Investigating the use of new circuit board materials for prototype
testing.
• ‘Service’ connection area is planned for outer support plate of Wire
Chamber section. Cable distribution for LV and Readout will use this
area for interface hardware.
• New “Custom” Drift Chamber interface boards are based on
successful designs.
