Pulse Development Simulation Electronics Simulation: Resolution The Gossamer Tracker * SCIPP RD on Time-Over-Threshold Electronics and Long-Ladder Readout Beijing Linear Collider Workshop Beijing, China February 4-8 2007 Bruce Schumm Faculty/Senior Vitaliy Fadeyev Alex Grillo Bruce Schumm Post-Docs Jurgen Kroseberg Lei Wang Undergrads Greg Horn Luke Kelley Patrick Au The SCIPP/UCSC SiLC/SiD GROUP (Harwdare RD Participants) Lead Engineer: Ned Spencer Technical Staff: Max Wilder, Forest Martinez-McKinney All participants are mostly working on other things (BaBar, ATLAS, biophysics…) Students are undergraduates from physics and engineering FOCUS AND MILESTONES Goal: To develop readout generically suited to any ILC application (long or short strips, central or forward layers) Current work focused on long ladders (more challenging!): Front-end electronics for long (1 meter) ladders Exploration of sensor requirements for long ladders Demonstration (test-beam) of 10 ?m resolution mid-2008 After long-ladder proof-of-principle, will re-optimize (modest changes) for short-strip, fast-rate application We also hope to play an increasing role in overall system development (grounding/shielding, data transmission, module design and testing) as we have on ATLAS and GLAST BRIEF SUMMARY OF STATUS Testing of 8-channel (LSTFE-1) prototype fairly advanced: Reproducible operation (4 operating boards) Most features working, with needed refinements understood A number of “subtleties” (e.g. channel matching, environmental sensitivity) under control Starting to make progress on fundamental issues confronting long-ladder/high-resolution limit. Design of 128-channel prototype (LSTFE-2) well underway (April submission) Now for the details… Long Shaping-Time Limit: strip sees signal if and only if hole is collected onto strip (no electrostatic coupling to neighboring strips) Include: Landau deposition (SSSimSide; Gerry Lynch LBNL), variable geometry, Lorentz angle, car
