CBM T0 Detector Performance Study with Light Ions (4He, 12C) and the DOGMA Readout System

This paper presents the realization and performance of the CBM T0 detector system. Built upon an approximately 70 μm thin polycrystalline CVD (pcCVD) diamond sensor with pad metallization, the detector is mounted on a flexible vacuum manipulator and operates entirely under passive cooling. Interfaced with the DOGMA readout architecture, the system successfully meets all operational requirements for CBM. It demonstrates a high detection efficiency (near 100%) and a timing precision below 50 ps RMS across a broad range of beam species, from light ions (such as Carbon) to heavy ions (such as Gold). The DOGMA readout features two distinct data paths: a high-precision TDC path routing data directly to the global CBM DAQ, and a secondary path deliver in real-time rate measurements crucial for online beam quality monitoring and fast beam abort logic. Finally, detailed performance studies conducted with light-ion beams at EBG MedAustron are discussed.

The Silicon Tracking System of the E16 experiment at J-PARC: construction, installation and commissioning in beam test experiments

The J-PARC E16 experiment aims to search for signatures of chiral symmetry restoration. It studies in-medium modifications of vector mesons that decay via the dielectron channel. The measurements use a high-intensity 30 GeV proton beam with C and Cu targets at rates up to 10 MHz. To achieve this, the experiment upgrades its tracking, by introducing innermost detector modules constructed with the same technology and procedures as the modules of the Silicon Tracking System (STS) of the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). A total of 15 modules were assembled, tested, characterized and then installed in the E16 detector setup. The detector was commissioned in a beam test experiment at Tsukuba, where the detector modules could be exposed to a 3 GeV electron beam. In preparation for the beam test the modules were characterized and calibrated, and performance studies were accomplished to assess the quality of the setup. During beamtime, three modules were operated and illuminated in two planes by the electron beam. This paper presents the results of the construction, characterization, commissioning, and operation of the E16-STS modules in beam test experiments.
