Abstract:

A novel optical survey system for continuous alignment of HEP experiments is described. The complete survey system is outlined and the underlying measurement technique, FSI, is described in detail. Preliminary findings made with a laboratory demonstration system for FSI are presented.

A life time test of neutron irradiated light emitting diodes

Abstract:

The results of an accelerated life time test of neutron irradiated ABB Hafo radiation hard LEDs are presented. After a 1 MeV neutron irradiation with up to 1.4 × 1014 n/cm2 at the Rutherford Appleton Lab (RAL) ISIS facility, the LEDs have been operated without seeing any degradation due to ageing for a time which is estimated to correspond to about 57 years of operation in the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker (SCT) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The irradiation decreased the light output of the LEDs substantially, but during the operation of the LEDs a fast annealing of most of the irradiation damage was observed.

APC3-A Charge Sampling, Storage & Readout Chip for Silicon Detector Readout RD2 Collaboration

Abstract:

The “APC3” is a charge sampling and storage chip designed for high speed readout of silicon detectors. It has 32 channels, each with preamplifier, integrator and storage capacitors. Current from a silicon detector connected to the input is integrated as a charge and stored on a capacitor. There are 128 capacitors per channel which are used sequentially to store the charge. The charge is held on the storage capacitor until it is either read out or discarded. Logic on the chip manages the storage and retrieval of samples. This logic uses a novel architecture based on a system of pointers and read out addresses. This paper describes the operation of the chip and measurements of its performance. © 1994 IEEE
