GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA Review of the GLAST/LAT Project, Feb , 2001 R.P. Johnson, UCSC 4 Tracker Technical Challenges Detector system: achieve nearly 100% efficiency for MIPs in the detector active volume, with 60 micron spatial resolution. –Silicon-strip detectors readily meet these requirements. Electronics: operate nearly a million channels on <300 W while maintaining sufficiently low noise for the Tracker to self trigger and while handling a high readout rate with negligible dead time. –Specialized ASICs have been under development for 5 years and have demonstrated these capabilities in beam tests. Mechanical structure: maintain high transparency to charged particles while supporting detectors and electronics during launch. –A mechanical structure based on honeycomb panels and carbon- fiber composite materials is under development. Modular design: minimize dead space within the tracking volume. –Miniaturized electronics mounted on the edges of the panels. Reliability: eliminate susceptibility to single-point failures. –Two independent readout paths for every channel. Assembly: large number of repetitive parts to assemble. –Use industrial assembly techniques for electronics packaging.

GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA Review of the GLAST/LAT Project, Feb , 2001 R.P. Johnson, UCSC 20 Tracker Issues Long lead time for procurement of 11,500 SSDs. –The SSD design reviews have already been completed, and procurement of flight detectors is in progress. Tight schedule for assembly of flight ladders and trays. –Two industrial assembly lines are being set up in Italy, each with enough capacity, in principle, to assemble all ladders and trays. ASIC design is the critical path for completion of the engineering model. –T&DF requirements demand extensive revision of both Tracker ASICs with respect to the BTEM versions. SLAC engineers and an outside consultant have been added to the effort to accelerate the pace of the design revisions. Thermal expansion, mass, and transparency issues place high demands on the Tracker structural design. –A solid plan has been worked out with Hytec Inc. to engineer and prototype a simple panel structure based on carbon fiber, with good progress to date. –A flexure design is in development for interfacing to the aluminum grid. –An extensive test plan is in progress in Pisa to model and prototype the converter and detector attachment for thermal testing.

GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA Review of the GLAST/LAT Project, Feb , 2001 R.P. Johnson, UCSC 21 Conclusions Beam tests and simulations have demonstrated that the Tracker design based on silicon-strip detectors will meet (and exceed) the LAT Science Requirements. The engineering efforts on the carbon-fiber structure, readout electronics, and assembly tooling are on track to complete the Tracker Engineering Model by CDR. A Tracker production schedule has been worked out that can meet the LAT requirements by –early procurement of SSDs, –assembly of the readout electronics in U.S. industry, –and assembly of the ladders and trays in Italian industry.
