100. Recent Results on the Performance of the CMS Tracker Readout System

Jonathan Fulcher (Imperial College)

Oral

The CMS Silicon Tracker is comprised of a complicated set of hardware and software components that have been thoroughly tested at CERN before final integration of the Tracker. A vertical slice of the full readout chain has been operated under near-final conditions. In the absence of the tracker front-end modules, simulated events have been created within the FED and used to test the...

34. Readout Electronics Tests and Integration of the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker

Oral

The SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) together with the pixel detector and the Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) form the central tracking system of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. It consists of single-sided microstrip silicon sensors, which are read out via binary ASICs based on the DMILL technology and the data are transmitted via optical fibres. After an overview of the SCT detector layout...

16. A Read-out Driver for Silicon Detectors in ATLAS

Trevor Vickey (Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, Department of Physics)

Oral

I present an overview of a read-out driver (ROD) for silicon detectors in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Two silicon-based ATLAS tracking systems, referred to as the Pixel Detector and the Semiconductor Tracker (SCT), are controlled and read-out using a common 9U VME board. A hybrid design of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Digital Signal Processors...

90. Long Term Testing of VeLo detector modules in Vacuum

Aldo Saavedra (Glasgow)

Oral

LHCb is the only dedicated $B$ physics experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ring. It is an spectrometer whose vertex detector(VeLo) has been optimise for the reconstruction of vertices near the beam. This is achieved by placing the silicon strip detector modules inside the primary beam pipe. Hence they are expected to operate in vacuum (10$^{-6}$mbar) and withstand high levels...

26. Design and test of the final ALICE SDD CARLOS end ladder board

Samuele Antinori (Department of Physics & INFN Bologna)

Oral

The paper presents the design and test of the final prototype 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 board design faces several constraints, mainly size (54x49 mm) and radiation...
