LHCb note 2005-029 Noise considerations of the Beetle amplifier used with long silicon strip detectors
نویسندگان
چکیده
An attempt is made to predict the thermal noise and the shot noise for silicon strip detectors connected to the Beetle preamplifier from basic electronic noise principles. The calibration pulse shapes are used to determine the frequency dependant gain function of the Beetle. The calculated noise values are compared with measurements on the prototype ladders. In addition the signal propagation in the very long ladders is studied using a spice simulation. From this the effect of the thermal noise originating from the ohmic resistors of the detector readout strips is estimated.

Design of the LHCb Silicon Tracker∗
The LHCb Silicon Tracker is a large-surface silicon micro-strip detector that will cover an important part of the LHCb tracking system. Its data will be used in the trigger to select high-pT daughter particles from B-meson decays, and in the offline analysis to reconstruct trajectories of charged particles in the very forward region of the detector. Readout strips of up to 38 cm in length with ...
متن کاملTracking and Alignment Performance of the LHCb silicon detectors
The LHCb experiment is primarily dedicated to the study of new physics through the heavy flavour decays. The tracking system of LHCb is composed of a silicon micro-strip vertex detector, two silicon strip tracker detectors and a set of straw-tube drift chambers in front of and behind a dipole generating a magnetic field. This system provides precise measure of the vertex position and high momen...
متن کاملSignal-to-Noise Evaluations for the CMS Silicon Microstrip Detectors
This note gathers the existing information on the parameters of the CMS silicon microstrip detectors, in order to compute the signal–to–noise ratio for different configurations. Both signal and noise are computed analytically, starting from laboratory measurements of the characteristic impedances of the detectors. Results are presented for a 50 m strip pitch detector, read out every strip and e...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Radiation Tolerance of Several Generations of SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors Under Radiation Exposure
For the potential use in future high luminosity applications in High Energy Physics (HEP) (e.g. the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) upgrade), we evaluated the radiation tolerance of several candidate technologies for the front-end of the readout ApplicationSpecific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for silicon strip detectors. The devices investigated were first, second and third-generation SiliconGermaniu...
متن کاملEffective Design of a 3×4 Two Dimensional Distributed Amplifier Based on Gate Line Considerations
In this paper two dimensional wave propagation is used for power combining in drain nodes of a distributed amplifier (DA). The proposed two dimensional DA uses an electrical funnel to add the currents of drain nodes. The proposed structure is modified due to gate lines considerations. Total gain improvement is achieved by engineering the characteristic impedance of gate lines and also make appr...
