Description
Test beam measurements often rely on a precise reconstruction of the tracks of beam particles. For this purpose, the DESY II Test Beam facility provides one beam telescope at each of its three beam lines. This includes two copies of the well established and widely used EUDET-type telescope, which has become an integral part of the test beam infrastructure over the last decade, but is also approaching its end-of-life by now. The third beam telescope is a novel prototype that offers the same flexibility for integrating devices under test as the EUDET-type telescope but uses a more recent pixel sensor, ALPIDE, with improved noise and timing performance.
This talk will give an overview of the telescope systems currently used at the DESY II Test Beam facility and present the status and plans for future upgrades.
