Delayline Detector DLD6060-8S Manual

Delayline Detector DLD6060-8S Manual | Surface Concept GmbH

The delaylines are close to ground potential (in respect to the high voltage of the MCPs). A pulse coupling 

layer is used to isolate the delaylines from the high voltage of the MCP stack as well as to couple pulses 

from the electron cloud into the delaylines. The MCP front (input) is electrically isolated from the housing. 

Signal readout is done via 16 readout lines. The naming for the signal lines orientates on the naming of 

the single delaylines but differes and is extended by the additional number 1 or 2. Hereby the definition 

of the two signal lines per delayline is made in such a way, that the first channel is positioned on the left 

side and the top side of the delayline respectively for the x and y direction of the 0° system, when looking 

from the back through the detector anode defining the zero position of the detector image (see

 red dot 

in

 Figure 10

).

The naming of the signal lines is N or R for the 0° and the 45° system respectively, 1 or 2 for the two seperate 

delaylines per imaging direction and the X1 and X2 and Y1 and Y2 respectively for the two signal lines for 

the specific delayline. Therefore the signal naming is N1X1, N1X2, N1Y1, N1Y2; N2X1, N2X2, N2Y1, N2Y2; 

R1X1, R1X2, R1Y1, R1Y2; R2X1, R2X2, R2Y1, R2Y2.

6.2   Delayline Detector – Connection Ports

The Delayline Detector carries three single SHV feedthroughs soldered into the base flange for the high 

voltage supply and a CF65 flange, which holds 16 SMB feedthroughs for signal transfer as well as an 

orientation pin for correct orientation of the ACU. The allocation of the 16 signal channels on the “SMB 

flange” as well as the three high voltage potentials “U_DLD”, “CH-HV” and “CH-B” can be taken from 

Figure 

11

. The three high voltage potentials are also engraved on the base flange. The internal connection of the 

high voltage is given schematically

 

in Figure 12

.

Hold the ACU straight and plug it very carefully.

The middle pins of the SMB connectors in the 16-fold SMB feedthrough can be damaged 

when holding the ACU not straight while plugging.

Do not disconnect the high voltage cable from the Delayline Detector as long as high  

voltage  is  applied.  This  will  lead  to  high  voltage  sparks  which  can  damage  the  very               

sensitive detector, the MCPs and/or the analogue readout electronics seriously.
