Alternative shorter ladders, but better point
resolution

• The LSTFE approach would be well suited to use in
  short-strip applications, and would offer several
  potential advantages relative to other approaches
• Optimized for LC tracking (less complex)
• More efficient data flow
• No need for buffering

Would require development of 2000 channel chip w/
bump bonding (should be solved by KPiX
development)

DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE FPGA DEVELOPMENT

of hit information, with dead time limited only
by amplifier shaping time

• Power Cycling
• As designed Achieve 40 msec turn-on due to
  protection diode leakage
• Injecting small (lt 1nA) current Achieve 0.9 msec

Power Control
LSTFE2 will incorporate active feedback to
maintain bias levels of isolated circuitry when
chip is off.

LSTFE2

• The LSTFE2 is currently under development
  submission expected by end of year
• Retain 1.0-1.5 ?s shaping time
• Further S/N optimization (still geared towards
  long ladders)
• Off state feedback to achieve power cycling
  goal (lt 1 msec switch-on)
• 64-128 channels, with multiplexing of
  compar-ator outputs (pad geometry)

Personnel B.S. plus three junior physics
majors Lori Stevens (worked over summer) Tyler
Rice (work over summer) Chris Meyer (new)

• We are
• continuing the study of the use of Tim Nelsons
  AxialBarrelTracker as a clean-up algorithm (Lori,
  Tyler)
• trying to implement and verify new tracking
  algorithms (which ones?) - Chris

16
AxialBarrelTracker Studies

• Still cheating eliminating all hits from the
  95 of tracks that originate within 2cm of origin
• Trying to do full classification of remaining
  hits (non-prompt tracks, loopers, backgrounds,
  etc.)
• Looking for remaining non-prompt tracks with
  ptgt0.75 GeV/c and cos? lt 0.5
• Have verified that circle-fit Chisq behaves like
  a chisq (tracking conventions?) use chisq cut,
  but not very effective
• Require 4 or more hits found track can have at
  most one hit from a different MCTRUTH source
  otherwise labeled as fake

17
ee- ? qq at sqrt(s) 500 GeV
263 findable tracks

• 272 fake tracks
• 271 with 4 hits
• 1 with 5 hits

Very preliminary!

• 214 found (MCTRUTH
• Associated) tracks
• 97 with 4 hits
• 117 with 5 hits
• 44 efficient
• 99 pure (!!??)

Is this correct? What about an 8-layer tracker?

developed by Michael Young to study recon/ fitter
