Coupled layer and monolithic architectures
Oral presentation
CMS is currently studying solutions to build a new tracker capable of providing prompt information on high transverse momentum to the central level one trigger. This information is essential for the reduction of trigger rates at the projected SLHC beam luminosity.
The architecture described here aims at detecting high transverse momentum particles directly in the front-end modules. It assumes...

Coupled layer and monolithic architectures
Oral presentation
It is traditional wisdom that a minimal number of silicon tracking planes must be used in the inner detectors, in order to avoid multiple scattering, large numbers of photon conversions and other disturbances upstream of the calorimeter. In this work it is shown that a silicon pixel detector with hundreds of successive, highly redundant measurement planes can provide extremely precise and...

Coupled layer and monolithic architectures
Oral presentation
Based on the requirements of new generation vertex detectors, we present an innovative readout architecture for a large matrix of pixels (A>1.2 cm^2) capable to sustain high data rates (~100 MHz/cm^2) with high efficiencies (> 97%).
The readout is based on the parallel sparsification of one entire matrix column per clock cycle. The scan logic activates in sequence only the columns that...
