CNAO @ Jul 2012

Aim

• Redo the Catania/GSI measurements on proton beam on PMMA target.
• Several angles have to be tested: 90 deg, 60 deg, 75 deg

Beam Energy: Computed by simulations (table from G. Battistoni is available)

When?

July 20 - 22 .

• July 20: mounting + first minutes of beam + calibration with source
• July 21: 4 hours of beams... found that the SC are not behaving properly
• July 21-22 night: 8 hours of datataking. First hourse devoted to SC replacement, then few hours at different angles/depths/energies.

• Lyso0 and Lyso1 have been calibrated with Co60 and Eu152
• t0s for the chambers can be obtained by all the runs together....

Where?

Hall 1. Control room 3m out of corridoio.

• Patch Panel available to read signals in control room..
• SKMBT_C36011101011350.pdf: Sketch of halls and control rooms
• isocentro1.pdf: Sketch of halls and control rooms
• sezione.pdf: Sketch of halls and control rooms

GAS

Ar/CO2

• We need to bring the premixed bottle
• Exhaust is ok.

Mechanics

• Rec for electronics? Arrived/mounted... We will bring it.
• Needs to finalize the choice for the mechanical structure (we need to check how it goes with the angles study)

1. 1. beam height

1. Lyso + collim
2. Two Nai at 180 degrees
3. New Beam Monitor

Hardware

• New Beam monitor
• 2 NaI detectors.
• Collimator (slit)
• 2 LYSO
• Start Counter [we already have it]
• Palettino before New Beam Monitor?

ELOG

Night btw 21/22 july.

• Run: data/MainRun_2107_113mm_run1.dat : verify the impact of changes during the afternoon. A channel from drift chamber is recovered. SC continues to give troubles. Proceed at really low rate (100 Hz daq). Access at 23:40
• Run: data/MainRun_2107_123mm_run2.dat : SC continues to give problems. But now rate is higher. Run 2 is taken at 132.72 MeV (123 mm) (113_run2 is a typo)
• 2:14: intensity is higer, now the transmitted intensity is 50% (before was 20).

• Going back to *20 intensity (ridurre intensita'), we go @ 125mm run5

• Si entra per rimetterci a 90deg

DAQ

Checked that we can bring our WS1 for daq. There will be an ethernet connection from control room to hall: private network to connect to the WS1, and then we have a wireless to connect to outside. We will use a bridge for the acquisition (either usb or fiber).

DAQ config

• TDC multihit ch 0-35: 36 tdc times from beam monitor
• tdc and adc for the NaIs
• Signals from machine?
• RF or monitoring of position/energy

DAQ

• tdc and adc for the NaIs
• Signals from machine?
• RF or monitoring of position/energy

Aim

• Target? PMMA
• Particle rates? Up to GHz. We are going to need ~ 1 MHz. Seems to be feasible: degrader can be added and we are also building a collimator.

Beam Energy: need of a too long PMMA ... now we have 10-22 cm... Beam Spot 0.9 -- 1.1 cm...

TPS that have to be prepared.

1. STILL a DRAFT
2. First night: Take 1 PMMA cylinder and I see what happens varying the angle.Publish fluxes of protons from PMMA. I want to give 1 Gy (treatment like).

1. We are going to redo Catania: different energies and different angles.

When? [Draft for time plan]

Februrary 9 -12 ... For 2 nights.... (16 hours).

• Thursday (9/2) we star, but friday morning we go back to stealth [patient being treated]: during the night we try to calibrate everything!
  1. With Radioactive sources we calibrate LYSOs and NAIs, with beam (if possible) we calibrate the Beam Monitor
• Friday we install everything on the final geometry.
• Saturday and Sunday we take data

• Detectors should be already calibrated, we measure a reference point on the final setup on thursday night.
• Thursday night we need (beam) time to
  1. Acquire t0s for BM
  2. check that ST relations are fine
  3. Calibrate NaI?
  4. Calibrate LYSO?

Where?

Hall 1. Control room 3m out of corridoio (needed to check cables lenght).

• Long Cables can exit from experimental hall: to be checked as a function of cable thickness.
• There are several IN<->OUT from hall to control room: a complete list of signals that we want outside should be made and Xcheked with available connections
