The BaBar Silicon Vertex Tracker: Performance and Radiation Damage Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The BaBar Silicon Vertex Tracker is a five layers, double sided AC-coupled silicon microstrip detector operating on the PEP-II storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The performance of the SVT after 4 years of running is described. Results from radiation hardness tests are presented and the implications of the absorbed radiation dose on the SVT lifetime are discussed.

CVD Diamonds in the BaBar Radiation Monitoring System
To prevent excessive radiation damage to its Silicon Vertex Tracker, the BaBar experiment at SLAC uses a radiation monitoring and protection system that triggers a beam abort whenever radiation levels are anomalously high. The existing system, which employs large area Si PIN diodes as radiation sensors, has become increasingly difficult to operate due to radiation damage. We have studied CVD di...
متن کاملPIN Photodiodes for Radiation Monitoring and Protection in the BaBar Silicon Vertex Tracker
We discuss the design, implementation and performance of the radiation monitoring and protection system used by the Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) in the BaBar detector. Using 12 reverse-biased PIN photodiodes mounted around the beampipe near the IP, we are able to provide instantaneous radiation dose rates, absorbed dose integrals, and active protection that aborts the circulating beams in the P...
متن کاملRadiation Monitoring with CVD Diamonds and PIN Diodes at BaBar
The BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center has been using two polycrystalline chemical vapor deposition (pCVD) diamonds and 12 silicon PIN diodes for radiation monitoring and protection of the Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT). We have used the pCVD diamonds for more than 3 years, and the PIN diodes for 7 years. We will describe the SVT and SVT radiation monitoring system as well...
متن کاملThermal Finite Elements Analysis of the BaBar Silicon Vertex Tracker
In this note we present nite elements calculations of the thermal behavior of the BaBar silicon vertex tracker. Layers 1-2, 3 and 5 have been studied. Results show the adequacy of the cooling system in keeping the front-end chips into their optimal working condition. Thermo-mechanical results of layers 1-2 are also presented.
متن کاملLocal Alignment of the BABAR Silicon Vertex Tracking Detector
The BABAR Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) is a five-layer double-sided silicon detector designed to provide precise measurements of the position and direction of primary tracks, and to fully reconstruct low-momentum tracks produced in ee collisions at the PEP-II asymmetric collider at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. This paper describes the design, implementation, performance, and validation o...
