“CERN Director General Outlines Seven-point Strategy for European Laboratory”
18.6.2004 Official CERN Press Release Geneva 18 June 2004. At the 128th session of CERN Council, held today under the chairmanship of Professor Enzo Iarocci, CERN Director General, Robert Aymar, outlined a seven-point scientific strategy for the Organization. Top of the list was completion of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project with start-up on schedule in 2007. This was followed by consolidation of existing infrastructure at CERN to guarantee reliable operation of the LHC, with the third priority being an examination of a possible future experimental programme apart from the LHC.………

Framework• So far K+→+ only studied with kaon decays at rest
– This limits the statistics to a few events• We plan to collect ~100 events at the SPS by 2010
– We dubbed this initiative NA48/3 – the name is not an issue at this early stage
• Employ high energy kaons has the following advantages:– The larger cross section increases the kaon content in the beam– The rejection of backgrounds from K→ is simplified
• Tens of GeV of EM energy is deposited in the photon vetoes!– Accidental background are minimised
• The use of unseparated beam becomes a possibility• 2/3 of the final state is invisible !!
– The kaon and the pion must be redundantly measured to keep backgrounds under control
– Muon and photon vetoes are essential

THE BEAM
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 11
Rationale p0 = primary proton momentum pk = secondary beam momentum
• Kaon production increases as p02
– Use highest p0 (that is 400 GeV/c protons from SPS)• For a fixed fiducial length the number of decays
increases as pk. If p0 is fixed the maximum is for:
pk = 0.23 p0 • For unseparated beams the limitation comes from
the detectors, not from the amount of protons

Muon Halo Calculation• The flux of “halo muons” crossing the
WC has been calculated using the HALO program:
• Single rate in the WC is dominated by muons from kaon decays
• The total halo is about 7 MHz• Thank to the new beam design, the
situation appears much better than in NA48/2

2004 Test beam• It was of the utmost importance to test in 2004 the performance
of the NA48 detectors at intensities comparable to NA48/3 (no SPS in 2005!)
• This was a unique opportunity to collect data to validate our –simulated- understanding to quantify the necessary effort (technical and financial) to transform NA48 into an experiment capable to address K+→+ .
• Thank to the extension granted by CERN we could test:– WC: raise intensity to about 30 times NA48/2– GIGATRACKER
• Tested a state-of the-art ALICE SPD assembly in our beam• Use a thinner 25 micron MICROMEGAS amplification gap• Read out KABES with 480 MHz FADC (former NA48 tagger FADC)• Read KABES at ~14 times the NA48/2 rate
– LKR: Complement the photon coverage with extra LKr electronics and a Small Angle Calorimeter SAC (CMS RCAL prototype)
– CHOD test of prototypes• A few very preliminary results will be shown
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 24
Increase of beam Intensity• I0 = Intensity of NA48/2 K+ beam
– Tune the K12 beam to + 75 GeV/c – Open up the aperture of the P42 line (X3.5)– Opening momentum bite P/P from 5 to 20 % (X4)– Turn on both K+ and K- polarities (X1.3)– Employ a shorter T4 target (100 mm instead of 300
mm) (X1.6) • Tot ~ 29 I0• Accidentals in 29 I0 beam NA48/2 are
dominated by pions rather than kaons– Expect cleaner situation with new beam

CEDAR• CErenkov Differential Counter with Achromatic
Ring Focus• He pressure adjusted to make it sensitive only to kaons• Requires beam divergency < 0.1 mrad • Built at CERN in the 80’s (Bovet et al.) for use in the SPS beam lines• We will certainly need to upgrade the photon detectors and front-end
electronicsto operate at the NA48/3 rates (~60 MHz)

300 x 100 µm pixel cell 80000 pixels in total to cover the beam
• An effort must be done to minimize the overall thickness to ≤ 350 µm of Si without loosing in yield .
• Should avoid a substrate
• The cooling should be studied
• The dimension of the pixel cell and of the chip must be optimized to fit the 2n rule and to match the design requirements (PA, Discri, multiplexed TDC, power consumption, r/o bus)

FTPC (KABES+FADC)• NA48/2
– KABES has achieved very good performance – Position resolution ~ 70 micron– Time resolution ~ 0.6 ns– Rate per micro-strip ~ 2 MHz
• NA48/3 – Intensity ~ 10 higher per unit area– 600 ns drift – The long drift (600 ns) makes a standalone pattern
recognition very difficult or just impossible ( That’s why we plan to have SPIBES in front)
– To reduce double pulse resolution and improve the time resolution one has to reduce the pulse duration and possibly read-out every micro-strip with 1 GHz FADC

KABES FADC Conclusion• We read-out the micro-strips with FADC• Double pulse resolution capability is
very good• To do list:
– develop reconstruction from list of times in strips and measure resolution (space, time, angular) as a function of beam intensity
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 49
ANTI• Set of ring-shaped photon vetoes surrounding the
decay tank• Specification: inefficiency to detect photons above
100 MeV < 10-4
• The NA48 ANTI’s (AKL) need to be replaced• Extensive R&D Performed by American and
Japanese groups • Claims that inefficiency as low as 10-5 can be
achieved• Baseline solution: Lead/ Plastic scintillator sandwich
(1-2 mm lead / 5 mm plastic scintillator)• Cost driver of NA48/3

Beam Test 2004: WC
• With the exception of one sector in the Y view of DCH3 all other channels could be operated at nominal HV at the highest beam intensity
• Quite encouraging: plane efficiency decreases only by 1-2% • Ability to operate the WC at intensity close to NA48/3 cannot be

WC (baseline solution) • NA48/2
– Four larger drift chambers and one large-gap dipole magnet (MNP33/1)
– The Read out of the chambers is modern (2002)– Chambers enclosed in He by thin (0.3 %) Kevlar membrane
• NA48/3 – Add two chambers and one copy of MNP/33– Consider first tracking station operated in vacuum to
improve the angular resolution (and missing mass)– For this we are evaluating the ATLAS/COMPASS Straw
technology– Straws have been employed in high rate rare kaon decays
experiment (AGS-E871, KL→e) with rates as high as 750 KHz/wire
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 59
Can we do w/o beampipe?
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 60
WC (More elegant solution)• Replace all WC with straws and extend the
vacuum down to the CHOD (original CKM idea)
• This would allow to remove the beam-pipe, thus simplify the scheme to render hermetic the photon vetoes in the intermediate region between the LKR and SAC3 at the end of the hall
• This solution will likely reduce the number of e.m. showers generated in the beam-pipe.
• These showers may lead to a non-negligible load on the chambers and read-out
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 61
CHOD• It is used to provide a fast trigger and
(together with the gigatracker) to provide the time coincidence to associate the “right” kaon track to the pion track
• Investigating three solutions:– Scintillator tiles– Fused silica to use cherenkov light– Multi-gap glass RPC (ALICE).
• Excellent time resolution (< 50 ps) for rates up to 1 KHz/cm^2
• But in the hottest regions near the beam pipe of NA48/3, rates up to 5 KHz/cm^ have been measured further studies needed
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 62
LKR• The NA48 Liquid Krypton Calorimeter • Must achieve inefficiency < 10-5 to detect photons
above 1 GeV • Advantages:
– It exists – Homogeneous (not sampling) ionization calorimeter– Very good granularity (~2 2 cm2)– Fast read-out (Initial current, FWHM~70 ns)– Very good energy (~1%, time ~ 300ps and position (~1 mm)
resolution• Disadvantages
– 0.5 % X0 of passive material in front of active LKR– The cryogenic control system needs to be updated

LKR Hermeticity• According to simulation we should be able to
address 0 rejection inefficiency to 10-5-10-6 complementing the NA48/2 setup with:– A SAC and the end of the hole– Read out the corner of LKR which are usually not
read out• We have prepared the above for the beam
test in 2004• Since we currently we have no beam
sweeper, intensity of beam was reduced to 1/6 of NA48/2 nominal: test of hermeticity at low intensity.

• Detectors:– Read-out for LKr corners work– Must understand effect of e.m. showers initiated in
ANTI and Beam pipe spilling into WC on tight one track trigger (underestimate the photon rejection)
– SAC works; must improve reconstruction– Collected several millions of unbiased →
• These data are invaluable to compare with our assumptions and to design the new experiment

MAMUD• To provide pion/muon separation and beam
sweeping. – Iron is subdivided in 150 2 cm thick plates (260 260 cm2 )
• Four coils magnetise the iron plates to provide a 1.3 T dipole field in the beam region• Active detector:
– Strips of extruded polystyrene scintillator (1 x 4 x130 cm3) – Light is collected by WLS fibres 1.2 mm diameter
• As shown by our Fermilab CKM friends, if backgrounds from K→ remains a concern, a tracking RICH in place of the second magnetic spectrometer would completely remove it

• Detector ×2 – Very ambitious, KTeV/NA48 already state of the art
• KS-KL time dependent interference ×2– Position experiment between 9 and 16 KS lifetimes (hep-ph/0107046)
• KS-KL time independent interference ×3 – Assume constructive interference (theoretically preferred)
• Data Taking ×5 – Run in “factory mode”. After all E799-II run only for a few months to
collect ~7 × 1011 KL decays• Beam intensity ×4
– Need ~1012 protons/sec, slowly extracted, high energy (≤ 1 TeV), DC • Tot ~ ×240 → sens on BR ~ ×15 (on Im t ~×4-15)

Compatibility/Competition• NA48/3 is fully compatible with COMPASS running
– We need only 3 1012 per cycle (already available now on T4!)• There are two approved competitors for beam time
– LHC filling and CNGS• The extent of the project implies that there should
not be in addition (at the stage of data taking)– A fixed target heavy ion programme– Any other experiment in ECN3 competing for proton beam
time• We understand that the SPS can deliver protons for
fixed target physics even when LHC is being operated with ions

Photon Vetoes (KAMI)
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 96
Trigger• INPUT: 10 MHz DC; The single rate particle is dominated by muons
from Kaon decays!! 2/3 of decays have 1 moun in filan state• Important to reduce rate using simple cuts to avoid correlations• MAMUD and ANTI used as a veto should reduce the rate to 2.5 MHz• LKR bidimensional pipelined trigger to count photons can be
envisaged now (follow LHC experience)• LKR will reduce rate to 1 MHz• Further suppression based on multiplicity in DCH, SAC, CHV • At this stage the rate will be sufficiently reduced to allow a processor-
based system to analyse the WC tracking information applying mild cuts on the missing mass ( 100 KZH?)
• High Level Trigger handled in PCFARM (cf. LHCB 1MHz level 1…)• ½ band-width reserved for down-scaled triggers• Others triggers to collect less rare but still very interesting kaon
decays
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 97
SPIBES• Si Sensor
– Wafers of thickness < 150 micron can be obtained but bump-bonding yield needs to be investigated
– Experience gained by LHC experiments very valuable– To achieve 100 ps time resolution 90% of the charge from the
sensor has to be collected in ~1ns • Pixel chip (Mixed-signal ASIC)
– Very fast preamp and shaper– Very low time walk discriminator– High Resolution TDC
• Front-end hybrid– Additional functionality is needed for clock, trigger distribution,
data multiplexing and transmission, and controls– This requires one or more ASICs in the immediate vicinity of the
pixel chip– For this design, to minimise thickness it is desirable to have
power, data buses and the front-end hybrid functionality at the periphery of the detector plane
October 7, 2004 A. Ceccucci/ CERN 98
SPIBES• Silicon micro-pixel good candidate to achieve
required time resolution– Capacitance of single pixel ~ 100 fF– Rise time requirement < 2 ns – Must be demonstrated in R&D phase
• The complexity of the analog/digital design with on-chip TDC capability will most likely require the use of 0.13 micron CMOS technology
• Hybrid Pixel Technology– Pixel chip bump-bonded on Si sensor– State-of-the-art: ALICE SPD 150 micron chip on 200 micron
sensor– Further reduction of material needs investigation
