چکیده
The results of the BTeV silicon pixel detector beam test carried out at Fermilab in 1999-2000 are reported. The pixel detector spatial resolution has been studied as a function of track inclination, sensor bias, and readout threshold.

5 v 1 2 1 N ov 2 00 0 Beam Test of BTeV Pixel Detectors
The silicon pixel vertex detector is one of the key elements of the BTeV spectrometer. Detector prototypes were tested in a beam at Fermilab. We report here on the measured spatial resolution as a function of the incident angles for different sensorreadout electronics combinations. We compare the results with predictions from our Monte Carlo simulation.

The silicon pixel vertex detector is a key element of the BTeV spectrometer. Sensors bump-bonded to prototype front-end devices were tested in a high energy pion beam at Fermilab. The spatial resolution and occupancies as a function of the pion incident angle were measured for various sensor-readout combinations. The data are compared with predictions from our Monte Carlo simulation and very go...
متن کاملOverview of the BTeV Pixel Detector
BTeV is a new Fermilab beauty and charm experiment designed to operate in the CZero region of the Tevatron collider. Critical to the success of BTeV is its pixel detector. The unique features of this pixel detector include its proximity to the beam, its operation with a beam crossing time of 132 ns, and the need for the detector information to be read out quickly enough to be used for the lowes...
متن کاملFiber Optic based readout for BTeV’s Pixel Detector
The current paper describes the design of Fiber Optics Links for BTeV’s Pixel Detector readout. BTeV pixel detectors chips will be located as close as 6mm from the accelerator’s beam into the vacuum pipe. The readout electronics will be located at about 6cm from the beam, imposing strong constrains regarding radiation, mass, power dissipation, and size. The current development is the first prot...
متن کاملAn Unconventional Approach for a Straw Tube-microstrip Detector
We report on a novel concept of silicon microstrips and straw tubes detector, where integration is accomplished by a straw module with straws not subjected to mechanical tension in a Rohacell r lattice and carbon fiber reinforced plastic shell. Results on mechanical and test beam performances are reported on as well. PACS.: wire chambers, straw tubes, HEP detectors, silicon detectors, silicon m...
