Abstract

Investigations of the readout electronics for the tracking system of the CLAS12 experiment have been performed for the last 2 years. The setup and physical problems of the CLAS12 experiment are described. The silicon detectors designed by the authors for the tracking system of the experiment are considered in brief. The electronic system contains the silicon microstrip detector and FSSR2 integrated circuit, which reads signals from the detector. The FSSR2 chip is described and the principles of the chip architecture intended for processing a time-variable data flow and experimental characteristics obtained on trials of the chip are set forth in brief. Results of simulating the chip throughput under loads expected for the physical experiment and experimental characteristics obtained on trials of this chip are described.

The CLAS12 Silicon Vertex Tracker

Journal Article Antonioli, M.; Baltzell, N.; Boyarinov, S.; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) has been designed for the CLAS12 spectrometer using single-sided microstrip sensors fabricated by Hamamatsu Photonics. The sensors have a graded angle design to minimize dead areas and a readout pitch of 156 um, with intermediate strips. Each double-sided SVT module hosts three daisy-chained sensors on each side with a full strip length of 33 cm. There are 512 channels per module, read out by four Fermilab Silicon Strip Readout (FSSR2) chips, featuring data-driven architecture, mounted on a rigid–flex hybrid board. The modules are assembled in a barrel configuration using a unique cantilevered geometry to minimize themore »« less

Performance of the CLAS12 Silicon Vertex Tracker modules

Conference Antonioli, Mary Ann; Boiarinov, Serguie; Bonneau, Peter; ... - Nucl.Instr.Meth. A

For the 12 GeV upgrade, the CLAS12 experiment has designed a Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) using single sided microstrip sensors fabricated by Hamamatsu.

Characterization of Silicon Detector Readout Electronics

Conference Jones, M. - JINST

Configuration and calibration of the front-end electronics typical of many silicon detector configurations were investigated in a lab activity based on a pair of strip sensors interfaced with FSSR2 read-out chips and an FPGA. This simple hardware configuration, originally developed for a telescope at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility, was used to measure thresholds and noise on individual readout channels and to study the influence that different configurations of the front-end electronics had on the observed levels of noise in the system. An understanding of the calibration and operation of this small detector system provided an opportunity to explore themore »« less

Development of Large Area µRWELL Detectors for CLAS12 High Luminosity Upgrade at Jefferson Lab

Conference Gnanvo, Kondo

The high-luminosity upgrade of the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS12) will significantly enhance the physics reach of experiments in Hall B at JLab. However, at the current luminosity of L = 1 × 1035 cm-2 s-1, the reconstruction efficiency of charged particles in the forward region of the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS12) is at the level of 85% and limited in part by the drift chambers inability to handle high occupancy, in the first tracking region (DC-R1) of the Forward Detector. The reconstruction efficiency is expected to drop even lower at higher luminosities with the current tracking technology. Variousmore »« less

Design and prototyping of the front end readout system for the CDF silicon vertex detector

Conference Haber, C; Carithers, W; Ely, R; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (USA)

A silicon microstrip vertex detector is under construction for the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). The vertex detector, which contains close to 40000 individual strips, will be read out with a full custom VLSI circuit, the SVX chip, developed for this application. This paper describes the integration of this circuit into a full front end readout system. Problems of noise, packaging, signal and power distribution, control and readout, testing, and quality control are discussed. Results are presented on the operation of a prototype system including silicon strips.
