为ALICE TPC的升级建造大面积GEM读出室

Building a large-area GEM-based readout chamber for the upgrade of the ALICE TPC

Piotr Gasik

摘要:

大型时间投影室(TPC)是欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)大型强子对撞机(LHC)ALICE实验中跟踪和识别带电粒子的主要装置。在2019-2020年的第二次长时间关闭之后,LHC将以高达50 kHz的相互作用速率提供Pb束碰撞,这大约是TPC目前读出速率的100倍。为了充分利用LHC的潜力,TPC将根据气体电子倍增器(GEM)技术进行升级。ALICE TPC外读出室(OROC)的原型配备了12个大尺寸GEM箔作为放大级,以证明用新技术取代当前多丝比例室的可行性。总面积为$\sim$ 0.76 m $^2$,是迄今为止建造的最大的基于GEM的探测器。GEM OROC安装在试验场笼内,并使用放射源进行调试。

英文摘要:

A large Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is the main device for tracking and charged-particle identification in the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. After the second long shutdown in 2019-2020, the LHC will deliver Pb beams colliding at an interaction rate up to 50 kHz, which is about a factor of 100 above the present read-out rate of the TPC. To fully exploit the LHC potential the TPC will be upgraded based on the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology. A prototype of an ALICE TPC Outer Read-Out Chamber (OROC) was equipped with twelve large-size GEM foils as amplification stage to demonstrate the feasibility of replacing the current Multi Wire Proportional Chambers with the new technology. With a total area of $\sim$0.76 m$^2$ it is the largest GEM-based detector built to date. The GEM OROC was installed within a test field cage and commissioned with radioactive sources.
