The MVTX tracking detector in the sPHENIX experiment at the RHIC accelerator complex at BNL, is a Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) silicon detector that is based on the three inner most layers of the ALICE ITS2 tracking system. The design and installation of this detector into the sPHENIX experiment will be described in detail. The overall length and diameter of this detector assembly is...
The ePIC silicon vertex tracker (SVT) will consist of 5 barrel layers in addition to 5 disks at each end. The outer two barrel layers, at radii of 270 mm (L3) and 420 mm (L4), comprise the outer barrel (OB). All parts of the SVT will have to satisfy extremely low material targets, which are 0.25% X0 for L3 and 0.55% X0 for L4. One ingredient to achieve this goal are ultra-thin (40-50 μm) MAPS...
Experiments at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) pose stringent requirements on the tracking system for the measurement of the scattered electron and charged particles produced in the collision, as well as the position of the collision point and any decay vertices of hadrons containing heavy quarks. Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) offer the possibility of high granularity in...
