Progress with performance simulations of the CBM Silicon Tracking System
نویسنده
چکیده
Efficient charged particle tracking and high momentum resolution are central performance requirements of the CBM Silicon Tracking System (STS). The aim of the ongoing layout studies is to design a highly granular and lowmass detector system which can track up to 1000 charged particles that are typically generated in one central Au+Au collision at 25 GeV/u projectile energy. A low-mass detector is crucial to achieve a momentum resolution down to 1%. Progress has been made with optimizations of the detector geometry and with the implementation of realistic detector response functions.

Simulation study of radiation damage in double-sided silicon microstrip detectors for the CBM Silicon Tracking System
We started TCAD simulations last year to understand the radiation damage in Double Sided Silicon Strip Detectors (DSSD) for the CBM Silicon Tracking System. We used the public domain versions from Stanford namely SUPREM for Process Simulation and PISCES for device simulation [1]. The results were reported in the GSI Scientific Report 2008 [2]. Now we are using the three-dimensional TCAD simulat...

The STS comprises eight tracking stations located at 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 75, 95 and 100 cm downstream of the target (Fig. 1). The stations have a modular structure and are constructed from 300 μm thick double-sided silicon microstrip sensors. Groups of sensors (sectors) are individually read out with electronics located at the perimeter of the stations. The number, position and segmentation of ...

The very intense radiation environment of the planned Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the international research center FAIR makes radiation hardness a very important issue for the Silicon Tracking System (STS). The STS will consist of eight stations of double sided strip detectors at a distance between 25 cm to 100 cm downstream of the target. It is expected that the total integ...

We are using the three-dimensional TCAD simulation package from Synopsys [1] to simulate double sided silicon strip detectors (DSSDs) for the CBM Silicon Tracking System (STS). The STS will consist of eight stations of DSSDs at a distance of 30-100 cm from the target. The expected neutron fluence will vary from 1×1013 neqcm−2 to 1×1015 neqcm−2 depending on the location of the sensors. Hence we ...
متن کاملSimulation of realistic detector response in the CBM Silicon Tracking System
The Silicon Tracking System of the CBM Experiment consists of eight tracking layers of silicon detectors. Each layer is an array of vertical modules containing 300 μm thick double-sided silicon strip sensors. The strip pitch is 60 μm on both sides. The sensors are segmented into 1024 strips per side. On either side the strips are tilted by +7.5◦ or -7.5◦ with respect to the vertical edge, creat...
