sPHENIX MAPS tracker discussion

["Liu, Ming Xiong" <mliu AT lanl.gov>]

Thank you Ed, good to see the detailed analysis there. The cause of the “busy violation” is indeed from the same origin, too many hits to readout in time.

 

Cheers,

Ming

    Hi Jo and Ming,
     I am reviewing the ALICE FOCAL TDR and see that their EM section
    of the FOCAL uses MAPS ALPIDE pixels sensors for readout, interleaved
    with W plates. The TDR has a long description of how they will
    deal with what they call "BUSY violations" in the ALPIDE readout from
    high multiplicity events. As far as I can tell this is the identical
    data-hang situation that we are experiencing with the MVTX.
    I have posted the ALICE FOCAL TDR at the top of the Indico page for
    today's MVTX electronics meeting:
    https://indico.bnl.gov/event/22140/

    Perhaps the MVTX electronics experts already know all of this information
    or even contributed to this section of the TDR, but if one looks at
    p. 24-38 you can read a detailed description of how ALICE plans to
    deal with the BUSY-violations in their future FOCAL.
    I find it interesting reading. Thanks.

    Ed
