Diamond detectors for the LHCb upgrade M. Artuso, A. Borgia, J. Garofoli, R.Mountain, P.Urquijo, J. Wang, Z. Xing 5/5/20101Marina Artuso Velo Upgrade Meeting
The goal Produce viable solution based on diamond detectors at least for innermost tiles of detector planes. The contenders are planar Si (various technologies), 3d silicon (rd50 Glasgow- CNM), pCVD diamonds (cost issues) scCVD diamonds studied (FNAL test beam) Decision of detector technology should be finalized by Jan Note: we are aiming at 2016 for completion and we do not depend upon SLHc for the planned luminosity upgrades. 5/5/20102Marina Artuso Velo Upgrade Meeting
Outline of the work Commission test stand with sample single dot diamond with the geometrical parameters shown in this figure Characterize in the same way 4 diamonds produced by DDL with sources Deposit strips and test these devices in beam with VA2 readout Produce LHCb VELOPIX single pixel hybrids mm 8.73 mm diam Diamond (bulk) rough-cut edges 5/5/20103Marina Artuso Velo Upgrade Meeting metallization

Plans 5/5/2010Marina Artuso Velo Upgrade Meeting5 Finish characterization with source ~ 1 week Next strip detectors (2-4) for test beam in June In fall two devices bump bonded with Timepix, to understand performance with time over threshold (not good for irradiation studies) [with Si threshold as low as 750 electrons] Irradiation program with hybrid pixel modules [pCVD diamond + Medipix3] More diamonds will be acquired from DDL and other vendors
