Performance of the prototype silicon strip tracking detectors for the CBM experiment — •Iurii Sorokin — Goethe University Frankfurt — Kiev Institute for Nuclear Research
The CBM experiment aims at exploring the phase diagram of nuclear matter at high net baryon densities and moderate temperatures, including a clarification of the existance of Quark-Gluon Plasma and the corresponding phase transition. It’s a fixed-target experiment using heavy-ion beams with energies up to 35A GeV. The Silicon Tracking System is required to cope with up to 600 charged products per central collision, to measure their momenta with 1% resolution and to stand up to 1015 cm−2 neutron equivalent dose.
Two similar prototype detector stations based on double-sided n-type silicon strip sensors with 50 µm pitch and 256 strips per side have been built. Self-triggering front-end electronics based on the n-XYTER chip is used for their readout.
The amplitude response of the detector system has been measured in a 3 GeV/c proton beam and with a 241Am γ-source. Also the charge collection efficiency has been evaluated and the charge distribution between neigboring strips as a function of track position and sensor bias voltage, thus providing input for sensor simulations.
