Scipp-00/48 Simulations of the Silicon Microstrip Detector for the Glast Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
Device simulations of the silicon microstrip detectors that will equip the Tracking System of the GLAST experiment have been performed. The influence on the electric characteristics of both strip pitch and width have been evaluated. First, a DC calculation is done to predict the risk of breakdown within the working bias conditions. Then, the backplane and interstrip capacitances are estimated by means of an AC analysis.

متن کاملFull Simulation Studies of the Silicon Tracker for the Linear Collider Detector ∗
A central tracker based on silicon microstrip sensors has been envisaged for the e + e − linear collider experiments. A full simulation program based on GEANT4 has been developed to study performance of the tracker. We report some preliminary results obtained using this program. The use of silicon microstrip detectors as precise tracking devices in colliding-beam experiments has been well estab...
متن کاملThe GLAST Silicon-Strip Tracking System
The GLAST instrument concept is a gamma-ray pair conversion telescope that uses silicon microstrip detector technology to track the electron-positron pairs resulting from gammaray conversions in thin lead foils. A cesium iodide calorimeter following the tracker is used to measure the gamma-ray energy. Silicon strip technology is mature and robust, with an excellent heritage in space science and...

The DØ experiment enjoyed a very successful data-collection run at the Fermilab Tevatron collider between 1992 and 1996. Since then, the detector has been upgraded to take advantage of improvements to the Tevatron and to enhance its physics capabilities. We describe the new elements of the detector, including the silicon microstrip tracker, central fiber tracker, solenoidal magnet, preshower de...
