A MCM-D-type module for the ATLAS pixel detector

Abstract: For the ATLAS experiment at the planned Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN hybrid pixel detectors are being built as innermost layers of the inner tracking detector system. Modules are the basic building blocks of the ATLAS pixel detector. A module consists of a sensor tile with an active area of 16.4 mm/spl times/60.4 mm, 16 read out ICs, each serving 24/spl times/160 pixel unit cells, a module controller chip, an optical transceiver and the local signal interconnection and power distribution busses. The dies are attached by flip-chip assembly to the sensor diodes and the local busses. In the following a module based on MCM-D technology will be discussed and prototype results will be presented.

Commissioning of the DELPHI Pixel Detector

Abstract: The DELPHI Vertex Detector has been upgraded for LEP200 with 2 layers of pixel detectors and 2 layers of ministrips as endcaps, thus covering the polar angular range between 10° and 21° and allowing for standalone pattern recognition. During the 1995/96 shutdown the first 95 modules were installed and the installation was completed in May 97 with all 152 modules. Production yields and failures during the assembly will be presented. The detector operated at a threshold of around 9000 electrons resulting in a number of noisy pixels at the 10 −3 level. After masking these hot pixels in the readout, the remaining number of random hits per event is at the 10 −6 level. The observed resolution of about 100 μm is close to the expectation for binary readout. The track reconstruction efficiency increased by more than 100% in the central part of the forward tracker.

First results from the DELPHI pixel detector

Abstract: In 1996 the DELPHI experiment at LEP has upgraded its silicon tracker. In the forward region, pixel detectors were installed. The pixel commissioning and the first results are reported.
