1. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Si licon D etector Status H.Weerts Fermilab/Michigan State Univ. (Progress on Si-tracker layout)

2. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Status around July 2004 Two layout options considering at very schematic stage Barrels with same length, with same size radius disks at the end Barrels vary in length, barrel –forward transition at fixed  angle This configuration slight prefered

3. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Support structures Initially sensors mounted triangular support structure Long ladders split at z=0. Long ladders still an option, but evolved to shorter structures ( ~10cm) & cylinder support At Victoria, introduce Carbon Fiber cylinders for support…. now default Thickness: 300  Si= 0.45% + CF = 0.2% X 0

4. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Layout at Victoria 1  Barrels u Five barrels u Measure Phi only u Eighty-fold phi segmentation u Barrel lengths increase with radius u Maximum active radius = 1.240 m u Minimum active radius = 0.218 m u Maximum active length = 3.307 m  Disks u Five double-disks per end u Measure R and Phi u Disk radii increase with Z u Maximum active radius = 1.262 m u Minimum active radius = 0.041 m u Maximum Z (active) = 1.687 m u Minimum Z (active) = 0.282 m

5. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Layout at Victoria 2 At Victoria presented a compete mechanical layout with sensor sizes: 80 segmentation in phi, 10 cm long sensors in z. Presented calculated noise figures: For T=20 o C and –10 o C

6. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Start changing layout Requirement: vertex detector should be accessible for installation and repair without removing beam pipe. This requires that silicon tracker is able to slide in “z” to give access to vertex detector. After some iterations…

7. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Modification of earlier Proposal  Outer tracker slides over inner tracker in either direction  Disks carried by the beam tube assembly are offset in Z to provide overlap with corresponding outer tracker disks u 5 mm clearance from silicon cut edge to silicon cut edge

8. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Slide Si tracker out over beam pipe

9. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Slight Modification of Earlier Proposal (3)  Outer tracker slides over inner tracker in either direction  Disks carried by the beam tube assembly are offset in Z to provide overlap with corresponding outer tracker disks  However, layer-to-layer support connections are projective u CF connecting disks can have spokes rather than being contiguous u Ball mounts and spokes need not align in azimuth

10. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Non projective supports Modification to Reduce Alignment of Material  One sensor added to barrels 1, 2, and 4 (each side of Z = 0)  No disk attached to barrel 1  Still projective from barrel 3 to barrel 5

11. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Non projective barrel supports What Happens if Barrels are Extended?  Disk tracks pass through barrel layers at relatively shallow angles

12. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Observations  We need a proper calculation of the number of radiation lengths.  Overlap regions in the design with stepped barrel lengths do not appear to be so bad as one might have feared.  Each design has appealing features.  Ease of assembly and servicing are important factors.

13. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Add layers …. to add more layers are being studied. Vary thickness of silicon from thin (50  ) to 300  towards outer radius 8 layer nearly continuous Proposals: Add stereo layers Other ideas: layerSensor [  m] %X 0 / layer 1-21500.35+0.2 2-42000.40+0.2 52500.45+0.2 6-73000.50+0.2 85000.55+0.2

14. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Comparison 8 layers Eight-Layer “Fantasy” Tracker Most precise design for p   Cross-over with ‘Fantasy Tracker’ at 90 GeV/c Cross-over with TPC at 10 GeV/c SD Thin: 5 layers, no support, 100, 100, 200, 200, 300  m sensors in layers 1 –5. ( total 1.9% X 0 ) SD Thick: 1.5%X 0 /layer ( 5 layers; 7.5%X 0 ) “Fantasy”: total 3.7%X 0 (no support)

15. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts status Conclusion The Si tracker layout in SiD is being actively worked on. Taking into consideration installation and access requirements Also looking into variations of the “5 layer” starting point
