Meeting Minutes

Minutes from April 4, 2006

Detector Placement

We currently plan to use 11 detectors to instrument the first 7 wire scanners in the LCLS injection area, as shown below. This includes:

  • Ion Chambers: 4 in total
  • Fast Ion Chambers: 2 in total
  • PMTs: 3 in total
  • PMTs with Periscope (Air Cerenkov): 2 in total

Detector Instrumentation Requirements

  • Ion Chambers require:
    • Gas (such as Argon)
    • High Voltage, typically less than 1.5 kV, but adjustable
    • Charge Integrating ADC
      • Possibly a programmable gate generator
    • All associated cabling
  • Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) require:
    • High Voltage, typically less than 1.5 kV, but adjustable
    • Bases for electrical connectivity
    • Charge Integrating ADC
      • Possibly a programmable gate generator
    • Shielding from external radiation sources, usually lead bricks
    • In at least one case, a periscope assembly
    • In several cases, support stands which can accommodate the tubes, their bases and the lead shielding.
    • All associated cabling

Test Plan

A test plan for non-beamline testing is forthcoming.

Schedule

The detector schedule will be an integral part of the wire scanner schedule.
