Thoughts on an 8-Layer Microstrip Tracker
SID Tracking Meeting October 8, 2004 Bruce
Schumm UC Santa Cruz
March 2001 Baseline
2
What kind of momentum resolution could this
get? What kind of pattern recognition
performance? Kinks and Vees? Degradation of
informa-tion before calorimeter?
With 8 layers, tracker is nearly continuous (by
some peoples Standards)
3
Exploit tapering layer thickness S/N somewhat
conservative, at least according to current
thinking.
4
Note Assumption is (ala Bill Cooper) 0.2 X0 of
mechanical support per layer

• Most precise design for p???
• Cross-over with Fantasy Tracker at 90 GeV/c
• Cross-over with TPC at 10 GeV/c
