LHCf Arm2 – status of hardware upgrade in Firenze

Main points for the work in Firenze• Assembling of new silicon -strip detectors
– New silicon wire bonding scheme to reduce the saturation effect in the front-end electronics for high energy releases with respect to the original scheme
– 8 sensors are available (8 needed)• One recovered from a test plane
• Testing the new hybrid boards– 2 types (Left and Right)– Not enough electronics components for the complete replacement of
the old hybrids– 7+7 under test (8+8 needed)– Some faults found
• Modification of the manipulators– We must increase the speed to decrease the time that is necessary to
go from the GARAGE position to the RUNNING position and vice versa

In the original scheme one strip over two was connected to the front-end electronics and theother strips were floating.

Gluing of silicon layers to the NEW kapton fanout (with GND pads for charge loss)

• Wire bonding on the first layer has been completed yesterday afternoon
• I will continue the assembling after testing the first layer– We can test for pedestals and noise– Do we test also with laser?

Test of the new hybrid circuits
• 7 (Left) + 7 (Right) boards have been mounted by an external company– not enough electronics devices to produce 8+8
• Successful testing for 10 boards– 1 board has a problem on one PACE3 chip– 3 boards have shorted power lines
• The 4 faulty boards have been delivered to the company for a x-ray check– There should be some news within today…

Modification of the manipulatorsOnly one manipulator has been modified and tested (two days ago).The modification was necessary because the beam dumping procedure in 2013 went faster than in 2010. It lasted about 5 min. So the target of this modification was 5 min for 12 cm movement (from the operation position to the garage position it took about 12min before the modification) (email by Menjo)
Replacement of the gear box(decreased the gear ratiofrom 30 to 12.5)
Test with 20.7 kg weightwas successfull.
Final vertical speed: 12 cm / 4 min
Power consumption is well below the limits of the engine

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
