Long ladder prototype
Lab test bench _at_LPNHE-Paris
Currently building a 7-sensor ladder with AMS
technique (i.e. using AMS sensors) and bonding
them together thus variable length for test
L N x 30 cm long This long ladder
will be ready by Feb 20th equipped with FE
electronics à la AMS (VA Preampli) or direct
access at the µcrostrip
output. Also starting simulation studies on
new FERO possible designs (Ongoing similar
studies at UC Santa Cruz, on a 2 m
long ladder)

What infos do we need from the Si-tracker?
1) Detector occupancy? Will be different
according to the detector location
SET preliminary studies ? occupancy ? 1
SIT, FTD or Si-FCH should have higher
occupancies (higher
backgrounds) ? SPARSIFICATION on
detector F.E. ? 2) Double Multiple hit rates ?
Thus ambiguities must be estimated 3) Pulseheight
info (Q) needed? Yes if cluster centroid
(? 8 bit A/D ?) 4) Timing information ? R.O both
ends of the long ladder? 5) Pedestal substraction
on board? 6) DSP-like processing for eventual
cluster algorithm and eventual fastrack
processing algorithm at what level in the
electronic chain ??? 7) Power dissipation
studies preliminary results ? dont seem to be a
major issue (more
detailed ongoing studies) All these issues must
be studied with electronics and physics /or
detector performance simulations and tests on the
test bench (just starting . . .)

Output of the signals very preliminary proposal

DAQ intermediate trigger very preliminary
ideas
Based on the current experience with the trigger
system related to the tracking system in CDF, we
are foreseeing to study a Fastrack
trigger (or realtime processing) system that
could be used to 1) Do a fast clustering
and determine in realtime the cluster centroid
2) Do a fast tracking for stiff tracks (above 1
or 1.5 GeV/c momentum) with the overall
Si tracking information, i.e. starting
with the SIT SET and then linking to the
µvertex informations And
similarly in the forward region, perform a track
segment reconstruction in FTD and Si-FCH,
separately and possibly link them.

Concluding remarks
Our main efforts are currently focusing on
developing the Lab test bench including the
construction of a long ladder prototype with
variable length and
different possible Front-Ends The starting
scheme AMS FE and RO system Also looking for
compatibility with the general RO DAQ frame of
the LC experiment In parallel , both
electronics and physics detector performances
simulation studies are/will be undergoing for
studying new FE and RO schemes and algorithms to
eventually include in the RO chain for more
sophisticated realtime processing of data
(cluster centroid, fast tracking etc). Use of
present CDF experience and ongoing LHC
developments. More to come in the
next months (PRC submission )
