  • Bill Lee
  • Florida State University
  • 27 October 2003

  • Introduction Motivation
  • Design
  • Status

The DØ Run 2 Detector
SMT
  • New state of the art tracker and trigger

Level 1 Central Track Trigger
-
  • Custom hardware firmware
  • Preprogrammed track equations matched to hit
    patterns
  • Sensitive to beam offsets beyond 1mm from
    programmed beam spot
  • Installation complete, Still revising Firmware

  • Software based
  • Simple versions of reconstruction algorithms
  • Hardware based
  • Simple Signatures in each Sub-Detector
  • Software and Firmware based
  • Physics Objects e,?,jets, tracks

The Idea
  • b quarks are key in many areas
  • Higgs Physics (ZH???bb)
  • top physics ( t-gtWb)
  • B physics
  • b quarks have a finite lifetime
  • travel mms before they decay
  • ?displaced tracks
  • Would like to trigger on displaced tracks
  • using the precision of the Silicon Tracker
  • Impact parameter resolution 35 mm (includes 30
    mm from beamspot)

Tracks
Need to make very fast decisions!

Physics Motivation for STT
-
  • Increase inclusive bb production yield six-fold
    with low enough threshold to see Z?bb signal
  • Control sample for b-jet energy calibration, bb
    mass resolution, b trigger and tagging
    efficiencies
  • Top quark physics
  • Factor of 2 improvement in top mass systematics
    due to improved jet energy scale calibration
  • Heavy bb resonances for Higgs searches
  • Double trigger efficiency for ZH?(nn)(bb) by
    rejecting QCD gluons and light-quark jets
  • b-quark physics
  • Lower pT threshold on single lepton and dilepton
    triggers (BO?mm, Bs mixing,
    etc.)
  • Increase Bdo?J/Y KS yield by 50 (CP violation)
  • STT proposed 1998 as addendum to DØ baseline
  • Received approval and funding in 1999

Conceptual Design
  • L1CTT?tracks in CFT
  • Define road in SMT
  • Select SMT hits in roads
  • Fit trajectory to L1CTTSMT hits. Measure
  • pT,
  • impact parameter,
  • azimuth
  • Send results to L2
  • Pass L1CTT information to L2
  • Send SMT clusters to L3

STT components
-
  • Fiber Road Card
  • receives and buffers road information from the
    CFT Level 1 trigger and broadcasts it to other
    cards
  • Receives SCL (trigger control) information
  • Controls buffering for L3 (BC)
  • Silicon Trigger Cards
  • find cluster centroids from SMT hits
  • match centroids to roads from FRC
  • Track Fit Card
  • fits tracks using STC clusters and CTT
    information (2 hits)
  • Sends track parameters to L2CTT/L2global
  • 2 SMT sectors/crate ? 6 crates

System Integration
  • All hardware at hand
  • Five of six crates fully populated
  • A seventh crate will be added as a test stand,
    freeing the sixth crate.
  • D0 is presently in a shutdown.
  • Before the shutdown, two STT crates were included
    in several runs.
  • Presently able to run at global run rates for
    several hours.
  • All five crates can be included in the run at any
    time
  • Full track reconstruction
  • Output to L3 and L2
  • Coming out of the shutdown, the STT crates should
    be included in all runs.
  • Full Commissioning almost complete.

Conclusions
  • The Silicon Track Trigger is crucial for a large
    part of the Run 2 physics program.
