1. High-resolution, fast and radiation-hard silicon tracking station CBM collaboration meeting March 2005 STS working group

2. Silicon Tracking Station: Working group "Real" design

3. What is the best design? Version used in present simulations Not really surprising results from simulations including realsitic detector response Pixel Strip Problems: MAPS Event pile-up Radiation tolerance Hybrids Pixel size Material budget Problems: Ghost tracks To be defined: Configuration But also Granularity Material budget

4. Challenging tasks of the tracking station (I) Micro vertex reconstruction (main task of the ITS) Secondary vertex reconstruction better 50  m (z-coordinate) Extremely high track density Both high resolution and a respectively low material budget are needed. D0→KD0→K

5. Challenging tasks of the tracking station (II) Background rejection in low mass dielectron spectroscopy Reconstruction of "incomplete" tracks Needs probably much more redundancy If these are not reconstructed.... those will form a fake open pair

6. What is the best design? Version discussed in the TSR Vacuum chamber with small (and hence thin) window Outer part of station 3 by strip technology? Pixel Strip

7. Basic Elements: Inner : 6x2 cm Middle : 6x4 cm Outer :6X12 cm FeatureValue/Quantity Angular coverage50 to 500 mrad Number of super layers 4 Detector modules per plane 28-60 Detector thickness≤ 100-150 µ m Sensitive detector area 20x20 cm 2 to 50x50 cm 2 Operational temperature ≤40°C Strip pitch25 µ m Strip configuration Valeri's talk

8. What is the best design? Option proposed by Valeri Pixel Strip(x,u and y,v) Strip (r,  ) Could be like LHCb-VELO

10. Possible configuration (B-TeV inspired) Outer section of plane 3 outside the vacuum! Highest granularity not needed there Allows using thin vacuum window Detectors can be moved in two halfs. Remove sensors from beam area during focusing Only two different module geometries Optional for MAPS or Hybrids

11. Generic designs for simulation Hybrid-like Material budget Resolution MAPS-like Radiation hardness Read-out speed

12. MAPS material budget a first assessment by Michael Deveaux Stacking of sensors due to inactive read-out area Design VELO (LHCb) inspired 0.29 %

13. What is the best design? Possible direction for future What is the maximum material budget acceptable? Third technology needs additional manpower! MAPS Strip Hybrids Should deliver unambiguous seeds High resolution tracking With large coverage Ultimate vertex resolution
