DIAMASIC: A multichannel front-end electronics for high-accuracy time measurements for diamond detectors

International audienceThis paper describes the design and testing results of an 8 channels preamplifier-discriminator circuit based on a resistive feedback Transimpedance Amplifier architecture and a Leading-Edge Discriminator stage for fast high-accuracy time measurement systems. The circuit has been designed in a 130 nm CMOS technology. It is intended to be used as a Front-End-Electronics for measuring the Time Of Flight using diamond detectors. The size of the chip is 1.27x1.22mm2 and the total power consumption of one channel is 1.5mW with a power supply of 1.2V. Testing results shows a timing jitter of about 80ps for a 10fC input charge pulse

A 12bits 40MSPS SAR ADC with a redundancy algorithm and digital calibration for the ATLAS LArg calorimeter readout

This paper presents a SAR ADC with a generalized redundant search algorithm offering the flexibility to relax the requirements on the DAC settling time. The redundancy allows also a digital background calibration, based on a code density analysis, to compensate the capacitors mismatching effects. The total of capacitors used in this architecture is limited to a half of the one in a classical SAR design. Only 211 unit capacitors were necessary to reach 12bit resolution, and the switching algorithm is intrinsically monotonic. The design is fully differential featuring 12-bit 40MS/s in a CMOS 130nm 1P8M process

Performance of CVD diamond detectors for single ion beam-tagging applications in hadrontherapy monitoring

14 pages, 9 figuresInternational audienceIn the context of online ion range verification in particle therapy, the CLaRyS collaboration is developing Prompt-Gamma (PG) detection systems. The originality in the CLaRyS approach is to use a beam-tagging hodoscope in coincidence with the gamma detectors to provide both temporal and spatial information of the incoming ions. The ion range sensitivity of such PG detection systems could be improved by detecting single ions with a 100 ps (sigma) time resolution, through a quality assurance procedure at low beam intensity at the beginning of the treatment session. This work presents the investigations led to assess the performance of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond detectors to fulfill these requirements. A 90Sr beta source, 68 MeV protons, 95 MeV/u carbon ions and a synchrotron X-ray pulsed beam were used to measure the time resolution, single ion detection efficiency and proton counting capability of various CVD diamond samples. An offline technique, based on double-sided readout with fast current preamplifiers and used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, is also presented. The different tests highlighted Time-Of-Flight resolutions ranging from 13 ps (Sigma) to 250 ps (Sigma), depending on the experimental conditions. The single 68 MeV proton detection efficiency of various large area polycrystalline (pCVD) samples was measured to be >96% using coincidence measurements with a single-crystal reference detector. Single-crystal CVD (sCVD) diamond proved to be able to count a discrete number of simultaneous protons while it was not achievable with a polycrystalline sample. Considering the results of the present study, two diamond hodoscope demonstrators are under development: one based on sCVD, and one of larger size based on pCVD. They will be used for the purpose of single ion as well as ion bunches detection, either at reduced or clinical beam intensities

Development of a Large Pixel Chip Demonstrator in RD53 for ATLAS and CMS Upgrades

RD53A is a large scale 65 nm CMOS pixel demonstrator chip that has been developed by the RD53 collaboration for very high rate (3 GHz/cm2) and very high radiation levels (500 Mrad, possibly 1 Grad) for ATLAS and CMS phase 2 upgrades. It features serial powering operation and design variations in the analog and digital pixel matrix for different testing purposes. The design and verification of RD53A are described together with an outline of the plans to develop final pixel chips for the two experiments
