Conventional PMTs PMTs shielding shielding Conventional � TOF0 PMTs requires no shielding, aside 1 mm µ -metal due to small B field (B < < 50 Gauss, Kevin private communication) � TOF1/2 even after the 100 mm global iron shielding needs some additional shielding to use conventional PMTs (as B // ~ 200-300 G, B _|_ ~ 1000 G) M. Bonesini - MICE CM20 RAL 2

Advocated solutions: Solution A (“Ghislain cage”): extra shield (50 mm) connected with joints to first shield (100 mm) and local shielding of PMTs ( µ -metal only if 420 mm hole) Solution B: no-extra shield but heavy local shielding of PMTs a la D0 (test results reported in MICE-NOTE-DET-201 ) M. Bonesini - MICE CM20 RAL 3

Sketch of TOF2 local shielding 1. Final design to be dictated by shielding + mechanics 2. A final single PMT shielding will be tested before production of local shielding M. Bonesini - MICE CM20 RAL 14

Conclusions PMTs shielding with massive Fe blocks of pure steel ARMCO seems adequate some extra work needed for mechanics of TOF2 (work together with Roma3 mechanics shop) M. Bonesini - MICE CM20 RAL 15
