Description
In the SLHC experiments the performance of the tracking detectors after high radiation fluencies will be an important issue. For example the CMS strip tracker will receive fluencies up to 10^15 MeV neq, and the pixel detector factor of ten higher than that. Thus, in addition to characterizing the electrical parameters of the new radiation-hard sensors, it is very important to test their performance in the realistic conditions like in a test beam.
Since 2007 a collaboration of several CMS institutes has been operating a silicon micro-strip beam telescope based on the CMS Tracker readout. So far there have been 6 test beam campaigns, the latest one including 14 FZ and 4 Epi-Si sensors from the official CMS R&D processing run from Hamamatsu. This latest test beam was performed at Fermilab with 120 GeV protons, and will serve as the baseline to which the future test beam results will be compared to. The samples were unirradiated and had two different layouts (multi-strip and multi-pixel). In addition, there were several different thicknesses for each material and sensor type.
