INTAS Progress Report 2007: INTAS-CERN 05-103-7555Title: A proposal for R&D to establish the limitations
on the operation of the ATLAS end-cap calorimeters at high LHC luminosity
Coordinators: Peter Schacht, Sergei DenisovStart date: 8. 5. 2006
Beam runs at IHEP Protvino accelerator U-70 (protons up to 60 GeV, intensity in range 107:1012 particles/sec): November 2007 mistake with EMEC electrode design April 2008 EMEC OK, but LAr in it was frozen November 2008 problems with data acquisition and electronics November 2009 ? ...
Energy fluxes at L=1034:η = 2.5 5.0*105 GeV/cm2/sη = 3.2 2.5*106 GeV/cm2/sη = 4.9 2.0*108 GeV/cm2/s
Main factors: ion’s mobility and recombination.Signal starts to degrade significantly above critical charge density.
In HEC and EMEC, should not exceed 5 %.In FCAL ~ 64 V at nominal of 250 V. The resistors sit on the rear HEC side.
Reducing gap size, shaping time…
“dE/dx” + ohmic heatingAdditional cooling loops in critical places, more powerful HV power supplies
Radiational damage of materials, activation
β-decay of Ar41: = 6560 s
After 100 days running at L=10**34:
98 GBq in EMEC, 50 in Barrel, 11 in HEC, 1.1 in FCAl_1, 0.5 in FCAl_2,3
After 7 more days of cool-down:
9.7 GBq in EMEC, 2.1 in Barrel, 6.5 in HEC, 19 in FCAl_1, 600 (?) in FCAl_2,3
