DRAFT Table of System Requirements and Comparison
Characteristic LED/fibre LED/wire
Dead/alive or on/off ≤ 15%
Timing check/offset typically 100
Relative gain check none (PRIMEX might have) 150 pe on module
Linearity check ~3 ns ≤ 2 ns
Temperature stability 1o causes 3% gain change
Tower row flashing 1o causes 3% gain change
Location of calibration input From front to monitor rad damage light guide tapered side
Geometrical constraints Approximately 90% of front 4x4 cm2 area available packing of WC and LGs, LED fitting, cable routing
  1. Comment: Time (and temperature) stability most important.
  2. Comment: Option of delivering a range of light intensities important (e.g. using various filter settings).
  3. Comment from Werner: The flexibility in the use of the LED would be very useful for the start counter. Christina: Still need to test stability.
  4. Questions to Matt: What uniformity could one expect from the plexiglass input system? How many fibers were used to pulse the plexiglass, i.e. how often were they spaced?
  5. Comment: Matt drew attention to an LED pulser by Paul Smith which might be a useful reference.
