چکیده
The ALICE experiment will require some 1200 Readout Chips for the construction of the Silicon Pixel Detector [1] and it has been estimated that approximately 3000 units will require testing. This paper describes the system that was developed for this task.

A pixel readout chip for tracking at ALICE and particle identification at LHCb
The ALICE1 chip is a mixed-mode integrated circuit to read out silicon pixel detectors used for particle tracking in the ALICE Silicon Pixel Detector or particle identification in the LHCb Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector. The chip will be fabricated in a commercial 0.25Pm technology and transistors are designed with a radiation-tolerant geometry. It consists of 256 u 32 pixel cells, each of 50P...
متن کاملDesign and Performance of the CMS Pixel Detector Readout Chip
The readout chip for the CMS pixel detector has to deal with an enormous data rate. On-chip zero suppression is inevitable and hit data must be buffered locally during the latency of the first level trigger. Dead-time must be kept at a minimum. It is dominated by contributions coming from the readout. To keep it low an analog readout scheme has been adopted where pixel addresses are analog code...
متن کاملCalibration of the Prompt L0 Trigger of the Silicon Pixel Detector for the ALICE Experiment
The ALICE Silicon Pixel Detector (SPD) is the innermost detector of the ALICE experiment at LHC. It includes 1200 front-end chips, with a total of ~10 pixel channels. The pixel size is 50 x 425 μm. Each front-end chip transmits a Fast-OR signal upon registration of at least one hit in its pixel matrix. The signals are extracted every 100 ns and processed by the Pixel Trigger (PIT) system, to ge...
متن کاملUpgrade of the Inner Tracking System of ALICE
The upgrade of the Inner Tracking System (ITS) of ALICE is planned for the second long shutdown of the LHC in 2019–2020. The ALICE physics program after the shutdown requires the ITS to have improved tracking capabilities and improved impact parameter resolution at very low transverse momentum, as well as a substantial increase in the readout rate. To fulfill these requirements the current ITS ...
متن کاملHighly segmented thin microstrip detector with data-driven fast readout
In September 2008 the Slim5 [1] collaboration submitted a low material budget silicon demonstrator to test with 12 GeV/c protons, at the PS-T9 test-beam at CERN. Inside the reference telescope, two different detectors were placed as device under test (DUT). The first was a 4k-Pixel Matrix of Deep N Well MAPS, developed in a 130 nm CMOS Technology, providing digital sparsified readout. The other...
