1. Using the EUDET pixel telescope for resolution studies on silicon strip sensors with fine pitch Thomas Bergauer for the SiLC R&D collaboration 21. May 2008

2. Aim of the effort The goal of this testbeam: Evaluate the best strip geometry of silicon strip sensors with 50 micron pitch to achieve the highest possible spatial resolution For this purpose we are using a dedicated mini sensor with different zones, each with a different strip geometry: –Different strip widths –0, 1 or 2 intermediate strips We are using the fine resolution of the EUDET pixel telescope to get high precision tracks to determine the residuals for our DUTs [Devices under Test]

3. 3 DUT Sensors Last sensor order at HPK from SiLC collaboration contains a multi-geometry mini sensor: 256 strips with 50um pitch 16 zones with 16 strips each Layout constant within each zone Strip width and number of intermediate strips vary between the zones TESTAC:

4. DUT Sensors DUT sensors have been intensively tested in Vienna, e.g.: IV curves on all sensors CV curves to determine full depletion voltages –approx. 60V Measurement of the interstrip capacitance reveal different values for each zone: –Capacitance scales linearly with strip width –Different offset for region with one or two intermediate strips

5. DUT Module Front side: Back side: 9 modules have been built in Vienna:

6. 8 Modules screwed together beam

7. Arrangement on Telescope Stack of 8 DUT modules are mounted onto XYZ-stage of telescope by the help of a small adapter table: DUTs Since motorized stage allows also rotations of the DUT we will rotate one of the modules within the beam

8. Front End Hybrid with APV25

9. DAQ for the APV25 chip Frontend (FE) Hybrids are connected to Repeater Boards (REBO) HV is coming from Keithley Source-meter via small board directly to FE (not shown) Two 9U VME Boards with FADCs are reading data and digitalize them NECO Board is the controller and distributes clock and trigger (via SVD3_Buffer board) PC running CVI (LabWindows) is used for online monitoring and to store data NECO board has LVDS I/O to directly read trigger and timestamp data from TLU box (Thanks to David Cussins for providing a TLU box for testing this feature already weeks ago)

10. DAQ Hardware and Software DAQ Hard- and Software (including predecessors) has already been used for more than 10 testbeams in the past. Thus, everything is pretty stable.

11. Timing Trigger is distributed from TLU box to telescope and our setup Clock (40MHz) is generated locally by NECO Latency can be adjusted by both NECO and APV chips APV25 chip has 50ns shaping time and analog pipeline of 192 cells (corresponds to approx. 4us delay) Additional delays introduced by cables DAQ online monitoring allows easy live adjustment of timing

12. Data Analysis Offline data analysis of DUT data: –Pedestal subtraction –Common mode correction –Hit finding, Clustering –Peak time reconstruction –Track Reconstruction (non existing) We have three possibilities for tracking: –Use EUDET software as proposed by Ingrid Need to transfer our data into LCIO format –Use SiLC (Prague group) analysis software written in ROOT Transfer data from telescope and DUT to ROOT files –Include tracking algorithms in Vienna Analysis code Transfer data from telescope into proprietary ROOT files } Existing software

13. Summary We will test the spatial resolution of a mini sensor with different geometric zones using the EUDET telescope as reference The testbeam starts next week (May 30 th ) We feel well prepared for Data Taking –Everything is ready and source tests have been performed on the lab test bench in Vienna (successfully) –Will be transferred to CERN beginning of next week –TLU integration has already been successfully tested Offline Analysis: Vienna Analysis code works up to cluster finding and zero suppression Different options for Track Reconstruction –We have a diploma student in Vienna who will perform this analysis
