Input Protection for Gas Detector Electronic Readout • Streamer theory • Protection schemes • Some ideas Frédéric Druillole Thanks to :Alain Le Coguie, Xavier De La Broïse, Estelle Monmarthe CEA DSM Dapnia Sédi GEMs and µMegas • Discharge probability : • Performance degradation due to discharge • High Gain • Energy resolution ~18%FWHM • Spatial resolution <~60µm • High rate • Large scale ~3.10-12 (104) 16-06-2008 CEA DSM IRFU Sédi • Discharge probability : ~10-3 to 10-9 (104) • No Performance degradation due to discharge • High Gain • Detection efficiency ~100% •Energy resolution ~20%FWHM • Spatial resolution <~100µm • High rate, weak radiation length • Large scale - Frédéric Druillole - [ Worshop ACTAR CENBG] 2 Electric Field in GEM S1/S2 ~ Eamp/Edrift S1 mesh pitch l 2 σ S2 Total transparency of the grid derive multiplication 16-06-2008 CEA DSM IRFU Sédi - Frédéric Druillole - [ Worshop ACTAR CENBG] 3 Streamer Theory Streamer : If the number of electron produced during the avalanche reach 107 ~108 Divergence of the avalanche goes to a streamer phenomenum. Impurities in the amplication zone could also amplify the Electric field and increase the number of electrons. QUENCHER Photon Impurity: dielectric E increases, electrons increase 16-06-2008 CEA DSM IRFU Sédi Secondary avalanche - Frédéric Druillole - [ Worshop ACTAR CENBG] Primary avalanche 4 Streamer consequences ------ ++++ + ++++ + ++ ++ ++ ++ + ++ ++ + + + + +++ ++ +++ ++ ++ + + + + + + ++++ + + + + ++++ + + + + ++++++++ ++ + ++ ++ ++++++++ ++ ++ + + ++++++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++++++ + + ++++ Négative Streamer • Avalanche with a critical size • Creation of secondary electrons in the head of the streamer • Creation of a conducting channel • Could weld the grid on the pad (Permanent short circuit) 16-06-2008 CEA DSM IRFU Sédi - Frédéric Druillole - [ Worshop ACTAR CENBG] 5 Protection schemes 1. 2. 3. 4.
