73. Electronics and Trigger developments for the Diffractive Physics Proposal at 220m from LHC-ATLAS

Mr Jean-François GENAT (LPNHE Paris6)

05/09/2007, 10:55

Oral

The instrumentation consists of two sets of Roman Pots installed respectively at 216 and 224m on both sides from the ATLAS IP to measure with precision the position (<10 micrometers) and the timing (< 5 picoseconds) of the two back to back diffracted protons tracks. Each Roman Pot is equipped with several plans of edgeless silicon strip detectors read-out by a new version of the ATLAS SCT...

52. Production and Testing of the LHCb Outer Tracker Front End Readout Electronics

Eduard Simioni (NIKHEF, Amsterdam, The Netherlands)

05/09/2007, 11:20

Oral

The LHCb Outer Tracker is a straw drift detector with a modular design and a total of 55 000 readout channels distributed over a sensitive area of 12 double layers of 6x5 m^2 each. The main electronics readout requirement is the precise (~0.5 ns) drift time measurement at an occupancy of ~4% and 1 MHz readout. A total of 128 channels are read out by one Front-End box. About 450...

14. The ALICE Silicon Pixel Detector system

Dr Alex Kluge (CERN)

05/09/2007, 11:45

Oral

The ALICE silicon pixel detector (SPD) comprises the two innermost layers of the ALICE inner tracker system. The SPD includes 120 half staves each consisting of 10 ALICE pixel chips bump bonded to two silicon sensors and one multi-chip read-out module. Each pixel chip contains 8,192 active cells, so that the total number of pixel cells in the SPD is ≈ 10^7. The on-detector read-out is...

17. Test and commissioning of the CARLOS control boards for the ALICE Silicon Drift Detectors

Dr Filippo Costa (Department of Physics, University of Bologna, and I.N.F.N Bologna)

05/09/2007, 12:10

Oral

The paper presents the test strategy and its results during the installation of the CARLOS end ladder board. This board is able to compress data coming from one Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) front-end electronics and to send them towards the data concentrator card CARLOSrx in counting room via a 800 MBit/s optical link. The paper describes the integration of the CARLOS end ladder boards,...

60. Towards the final ATLAS Pixel Detector Control System

Tobias Flick

05/09/2007, 12:35

Oral

The innermost part of the ATLAS experiment is a pixel detector, built by around 1750 individual detector modules. To operate the modules, readout electronics and other detector components, a complex power supply and detector control system (DCS) is necessary. This includes a large number of crates, which house the different hardware components as well as a PC net, where the different...
