1/13/2004USCMS Tracker Meeting Sergey Korjenevski U of R Status Report IV curve and “second kink” QA stand status - R poly measurement has been debugged
1/13/2004USCMS Tracker Meeting Sergey Korjenevski IV curve IV curve shows integrated leakage current for all strips If strips working properly the IV curve reaches plateau, stays constant until breakdown Ideally total leakage current would be expected to be around 500 nA for ST OB2 In reality IV curve always goes up due to early breakdown some “leaky” strips

1/13/2004USCMS Tracker Meeting Sergey Korjenevski “Second Kink” Second kink indicates partial breakdown. Contributing strips are not necessary qualified as bad strips though probably are not reliable at all. If bad “leaky” strip definition would be strip current > 5 nA (currently > 100 nA), ALL ST sensors will fail.
1/13/2004USCMS Tracker Meeting Sergey Korjenevski Status report on QA stand Noise while testing Rpoly was because of the way value of current was taken. Bug was found and fixed. Next would be optimization of the program eliminating not necessary delays and crosschecks. This doesn’t interfere with testing in general.
