1 Introduction to LAPPD and Achievements of the last 3 Years Henry Frisch For the LAPPD Collaboration Outline 1. What Are We Trying to Achieve? Need for Transformational Detector Development a) Collider- Flavor, Family QN Flow b) Howard- Long baseline n Detectors c) Medical Imaging (PET in particular) 2. Achievements and challenges in the 5 Areas: 1) MCP s, 2) Hermetic Packaging, 3) Cathodes, 4) Electronics, and 5) Integration 12/17/2012 DOE LAPPD Review 1

2 12/17/2012 DOE LAPPD Review 2 What are we trying to achieve? Brief description of the context, motivating needs

3 12/17/2012 DOE LAPPD Review 3 Colliders: Need: 1) identify the quark content of charged particles 2) vertex photons Extract all the information in each event (4-vectors) only spins remain (SRI rubric) Approach: measure the difference in arrival times of photons and charged particles which arrive a few psec later. Light source is Cherenkov light in the window/radiator. Benefit: Discoveries in signatures not possible now

4 DUSEL Detector Motivation vs Collider Howard recognized that these detectors could be used in large water-cherenkov n detectors DUSEL plan was M$ for PMT s, all non-us Howard advocated high-risk high-return (see PCAST report); Ancillary benefits- Non-implosive (low volume, can be thick glass) Insensitive to Earth s magnetic field Howard spoke of a 4 x8 panel with a single fiber readout (!). The LAPPD R&D addressed both large-area and fast time resolution applications good time resolution is intrinsic. 12/17/2012 DOE LAPPD Review 4

5 Neutrino Physics Need: lower the cost and extend the reach of large neutrino detectors H. Nicholson Measure the arrival times and positions of photons (LTPC) and reconstruct tracks in water via timesliced (100ps) 2D readout. A possible factor of 5 less volume needed per $. (simulation effort is in progress). 12/17/2012 DOE LAPPD Review 5

6 12/17/2012 DOE LAPPD Review 6 Can we build a photon TPC? Work of Matt Wetstein (Argonne,&Chicago) and group (mention Ypsilantis proposal but with LAPPD s here)

8 Application 3- Medical Imaging (PET) Can we solve the depth-ofinteraction problem and also use cheaper faster radiators? Heejong Kim Heejong Kim Alternating radiator and cheap psec planar mcp-pmt s on each side Simulations by Heejong Kim (Chicago) Goal: factor of 100 lower dose rate Depth in crystal by timedifference Depth in crystal by energyasymmetry 12/17/ DOE LAPPD Review
