High energy physics collider experiments (eg at LHC) : Size of the detector few meters, timing for final state particles of few GeV up to few 100 GeV.

Goal : Associate calorimeter measurements with primary vertex location. From MC simulations : Need single channel resolution of a few 10 ps. See also presentation «Timing Performance of the CMS Electromagnetic

Calorimeter and Prospects for the Future»

For high energy showers in high light yield crystals, number of scintillation light yield is very large (>105 / GeV).

Photon detection at one location in the crystal will be an averaged transit time spectrum

Shower Shape and Size Size of the shower given by radiation length X0. We use 1.7 cm, 10 cm and

20 cm LYSO crystals as well as 1.5 mm thick LYSO plates. In dense scintillators X0 is of the order 1 cm. LYSO crystals : 1.2 cm. From simulation studies : Shower fluctuations in 100 GeV photon showers

cause fluctuation of the mean shower time of the order of few 10 ps, dominated by the conversion depth.

Mean shower depth varies by several X0 as a function of energy. ⇒ Shower propagation takes 100s of ps.

Scintillation Light Time Spectrum Scintillating crystals get often classified in fast and slow by their light

output decay constants. This is often 10s of ns – PWO, LYSO : ~40 ns. Timing information is extracted from the leading edge of the signal – the

rise time of the light output is important. LYSO :

Scintillation light output rise time tR = 75 ps. 35000 photons/MeV, tD = 33 ns. See : S Seifert, J H L Steenbergen, H T van Dam and D R Schaart, 2012

Photo Detector Timing Performance Typical timing performance parameters of photo detectors are the rise

time, single photon timing jitter, n-photon timing jitter. As we measure signals with many photons there may be additional

factors typically not quoted by manufactures – like the 100000-photon timing jitter.

Part of our program is to characterize the timing performance of various photo detectors.

We are considering PMTs, SiPMs, MCPs, HAPDs. Rise times of faster devices may be smaller than transit time spread.

Optical Transit Time Spread The effect of the scintillation photon arrival at the photo detector we refer

to as Optical Transit Time Spread.

From previous slides follows : For a large crystals (eg. 20 cm) and showers from high energy particles (we consider 1 to 1000 GeV), the optical transit time spread may be the dominating factor in the timing resolution.

Experimental program to explore ultimate timing resolution, in particular the impact of the optical transit time spread.

Light Propagation in Crystals The effective propagation speed of an large ensemble of photons from

scintillation depends on the geometry, surface structure, transparency ( … ) of the crystal.

For our 20 cm LYSO crystal we measure a mean propagation speed for light from a cosmic muon of about 11 cm/ns (~1/3 x c). Refractive index of LYSO is ~1.8.

Geometric Timing Spread Location of the muon trespassing the crystal is given by the size of the trigger

counters. Plots below are from a test setup with PMTs. Observed signal signal rise time

of this setup : 2 ns. Reducing size from 3 cm to 1 cm reduced the differential timing distribution

from 300 ps to 160 ps. Clear evidence that the mean time tracks the geometry of the light produced in

the crystal.

Summary

We study the timing measurement performance with LYSO crystals for particles in the GeV energy range.

We achieve timing resolutions of around 50 ps without unfolding reference measurement resolution.

We find evidence that : The timing measurement is driven by the mean time of the

shower evolution. Geometric effects of the shower evolution and light

propagation are dominating factors in the residual time resolution.

Single channel time resolution of a few 10 ps seems achievable.
