Introduction

• Studying saturation effect of LDS on horizontal drift geometry• Using real detector response data with simulated photon rate• Currently using liquid argon with xenon doping• Supports different geometries with minor tweaks• Code will be available on Github

2

Horizontal Drift Geometry & PDS

• 480 PDs, all mounted on x = 0cm• Scaled down TPC geometry• 5<x<360cm, -600<y<600cm,

0<z<1400cm (1X2X6 APAs)• PD size: (Y)9.3cm (Z)40cm• Only direct VUV light considered,

reflected light is ignored

3

Method

• Choose detector in the middle to avoid edge effects• Simulate response from one event

by one detector using convolution• Using realistic response functions

received from A. Falcone• Do this for evenly distributed events

across a 2D plane• Obtain heatmap & saturation areas

Algorithm• Run modified semi-analytic light

simulation with evenly distributed events in X-Y or X-Z planes• Obtain events that occur in the

region of interest (100*360cm)• Convolve to get response

function• Plot the maximum response

voltage with event location as heatmaps• Apply threshold to obtain

saturation region

• Assuming argon is xenon doped:• argon fast component remains argon• argon slow component converted to Xe wavelength with 100% efficiency.

• Argon fast component is o(7ns), xenon components are o(4ns) and and o(22ns). Combined with transport effects gives a timescale ~50ns• Rising time of response function ~100ns-> majority of light concentrated at the very start of the signal.

Note the light maps are not plotted to the same scale. This is why they look similar even though they are different energies.

The blue region in the map is where only some events saturate

The distance between PDs in Y direction is 62cm, meaning large energy events might saturate multiple detectors

The distance between PDs in Z direction is 48.8cm, meaning large energy events might saturate multiple detectors. Saturated region is wider due to the rectangular PD being wider in Z direction.

Conclusion

• Saturation depends on detector shape and orientation, in particular, X-Z plane is more saturated than X-Y plane• Different detector configuration

may reduce saturation by changing the response function• Code will be available on github
