D0 Silicon Microstrip Tracker for Run Iia

One main improvement included in the D0 detector upgrade 1 for Run IIa is its central tracking system as shown in Fig. 1. It includes a 2 T superconducting solenoid, a Central scintillating Fiber Tracker (CFT) and the SMT. The SMT design is driven by two classes of events. Barrels and central disks cover the ∼ 25 cm RMS long luminous region for high pT central physics (|η| < 1.5). Forward disks...

ATLAS Silicon Microstrip Semiconductor Tracker (SCT)

The large hadron collider (LHC) is under construction at CERN, using the existing LEP tunnel of 27 km circumference, in order to accelerate protons to 7 TeV and to make head-on collisions at the center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV with a luminosity of 10 34 cm -2 s -1 [1]. The ATLAS detector, one of the two major general purpose detectors in LHC, was approved as an experiment in 1994 and is planned...

Nonsingular Green’s Functions for Multi-Layer Homogeneous Microstrip Lines

In this article, three new green's functions are presented for a narrow strip line (not a thin wire) inside or on a homogeneous dielectric, supposing quasi-TEM dominant mode. These functions have no singularity in contrast to so far presented ones, so that they can be used easily to determine the capacitance matrix of multi-layer and single-layer homogeneous coupled microstrip lines. To obtain ...

D0 Silicon Microstrip Tracker Sergey Burdin for D0 Collaboration

The D0 Run II silicon microstrip tracker (SMT) has 3 square meters of Si area. There are 792,576 channels read out by 6192 SVXIIe chips on 912 read out modules. The SMT provides track and vertex reconstruction capabilities over the full pseudorapidity coverage of the D0 detector. The full detector has been running successfully since April 2002. This presentation covers the experience in commiss...
