Short Baseline Near Detector (SBND), which is a 260-ton LAr TPC as near detector in Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program, consists of 11,264 TPC readout channels. As an enabling technology for noble liquid detectors in neutrino experiments, cold electronics developed for extremely low temperature (77K - 89K) decouples the electrode and cryostat design from the readout design. With front-end electronics integrated with detector electrodes, the noise is independent of the fiducial volume and about half as with electronics at room temperature. Digitization and signal multiplexing to high speed serial links inside cryostat result in large reduction in the quantity of cables (less outgassing) and the number of feed-throughs, therefore minimize the penetration and simplify the cryostat design. Being considered as an option for the TPC readout, several Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) ADC chips have been identified as good candidates for operation in cryogenic temperature after initial screening test. Because Hot Carrier Effects (HCE) degrades CMOS device lifetime, one candidate, ADI AD7274 fabricated in TSMC 350nm CMOS technology, of which lifetime at cryogenic temperature is studied. The lifetime study includes two phases, the exploratory phase and the validation phase. This paper describes the test method, test setup, observations in the exploratory phase and the validation phase. Based on the current test data, the preliminary lifetime projection of AD7274 is about 6.1 $times$ $10^6$ years at 2.5V operation at cryogenic temperature, which means the HCE degradation is negligible during the SBND service life.

The Short Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is one of three liquid argon (LAr) neutrino detectors sitting in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab as part of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program. The detector is in a cryostat holding 260-ton o f LAr and consists of four 2.5 m (L) $times$ 4 m (W) Anode Plane Assembles (APAs) and two Cathode Plane Assemblies (CPAs), which leads to 11,264 Time Projection Chamber (TPC) readout channels and two separate 2 m long drift regions. As an enabling technology, Cold Electronics (CE) developed for cryogenic temperature operation makes possible an optimum balance among various design and performance requirements for such large sized detectors. Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has been leading the R&D and implementation of the entire front-end CE system for LAr TPC readout in collaboration with other SBND institutes. The front-end readout electronics system includes the cold front-end electronics placed close to the wire electrodes, which detects and digitizes the charge signal in LAr, as well as the warm interface electronics placed on the signal feed-through flange outside of the cryostat, which further organizes and transmits the digitized signal to the DAQ system. An extensive study of electronics suitable for 77 K - 300 K, including the custom designed front-end ASIC and commercial components, e.g. ADC and FPGA, has been made to meet requirements such as low noise, low power consumption, high reliability and long lifetime. Furthermore, an integral design concept of APA, CE, feed-through, warm interface electronics with local diagnostics, grounding and isolation rules has been practiced with vertical slice test stands to make projection of the CE performance in the SBND detector.
ARGONTUBE is a liquid argon time projection chamber (TPC) with an electron drift length of up to 5 m equipped with cryogenic charge-sensitive preamplifiers. In this work, we present results on its performance including a comparison of the new cryogen ic charge-sensitive preamplifiers with the previously used room-temperature-operated charge preamplifiers.

Radiation-tolerant, high speed, high density and low power commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are planned to be used in the upgrade to the Liquid Argon (LAr) calorimeter front end (FE) trigger readout electronics. Tot al ionization dose (TID) and single event effect (SEE) are two important radiation effects which need to be characterized on COTS ADCs. In our initial TID test, Texas Instruments (TI) ADS5272 was identified to be the top performer after screening a total 17 COTS ADCs from different manufacturers with dynamic range and sampling rate meeting the requirements of the FE electronics. Another interesting feature of ADS5272 is its 6.5 clock cycles latency, which is the shortest among the 17 candidates. Based on the TID performance, we have designed a SEE evaluation system for ADS5272, which allows us to further assess its radiation tolerance. In this paper, we present a detailed design of ADS5272 SEE evaluation system and show the effectiveness of this system while evaluating ADS5272 SEE characteristics in multiple irradiation tests. According to TID and SEE test results, ADS5272 was chosen to be implemented in the full-size LAr Trigger Digitizer Board (LTDB) demonstrator, which will be installed on ATLAS calorimeter during the 2014 Long Shutdown 1 (LS1).
In this paper we give a concise description of a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr TPC) developed at Yale, and present results from its first calibration run with cosmic rays.
We have developed a dedicated front-end-electronics board for a high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber for a neutrinoless double-beta decay search. The ionization signal is readout by detecting electroluminescence photons with SiPMs. The boa rd readout the signal from 56~SiPMs through the DC-coupling and record the waveforms at 5 MS/s with a wide dynamic range up to 7,000 photons/200 ns. The SiPM bias voltages are provided by the board and can be adjusted for each SiPM. In order to calibrate and monitor the SiPM gain, additional auxiliary ADC measures 1 photon-equivalent dark current. The obtained performance satisfies the requirement for a neutrinoless double-beta decay search.
