Anomalous centroid shifts. The sensors in the VELO detector Quick reminder(for more details, see talk of L.Eklund ) R and ? measuring sensors, 2048 strips per sensor Analogue FE read out done by the Beetle chip. 25 ns peaking time 128 strips read out in parallel. Some silicon specifications Background Sept 2004: Steve Biagi (LHCb Liverpool) suggests that ballistic deficit in non-irradiated sensors can give offsets in reconstructed cluster position for angled tracks. Subsequently investigated in VELO beam tests of Nov 2004. Test beam setup Bias dependent mean residual shift We are looking for a shift in the mean value of the track residual distribution. Align system at 100V Study mean residual at different bias voltages. Residual shift vs radius Clear systematic shift in residuals between different voltages. Same size for both 200 and 300 μm thick sensors. (Effect first observed by J. Palacios, CERN) ”Banana bend” for 200 μm at high pitch, possibly due to warped sensor. Looks like sensors are misaligned! Further checks... Widths of residual distribution more or less independent of bias voltage.  ?-distributions look as expected for a misaligned detector. Safety check Data taking was done in one sequence during 10 hours. Ballistic deficit? Signal increases between 100V and 300V. Is this ballistic deficit? Also: 300V arrives about 2 ns before 100 V. Publications on ballistic deficit Signal loss due to timing *Simplified* way of viewing ballistic deficit. Assume: no charge trapping (unirradiated) homegenous E-field same μ everywhere in sensor.
