sPHENIX tracking discussion

["Michael P. McCumber" <mccumber AT bnl.gov>]

Hello Yasuyuki & Gaku,

I also have poster abstract in for QM2015 on sPHENIX tracking (draft posted in advance). I don't think this presents much problem for us, but we should consider splitting the focus in some way for the actual posters so that we minimize the amount of overlap between the two. I suggest a tracking physics & conceptual design (mine) vs technical strip design split (Gaku's) on the focus of the two posters, but welcome other ideas. 

Thanks,

Mike

Hello all,

 

Gaku Mitsuka submitted the following poster abstract for QM2015.

He started working on silicon module R&D for the sphenix silicon tracker.

 

Sincerely yours,

\title{Silicon strip detector R$\&$D for the sPHENIX tracker}

 

\begin{document}

\maketitle

The sPHENIX detector is a major upgrade to the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory and is designed for exploring a vast range of physics areas including heavy quarkonia suppression via the three $\Upsilon$ states and tagging of charm and beauty jets.

Among the sPHENIX detector, additional precision tracking inside the 1.5 tesla BaBar superconducting solenoid, as well as the currently operating PHENIX silicon vertex tracker, play a crucial role to reduce fake track contributions and improve the momentum resolution, thus leading to separation of the three $\Upsilon$ states and to separation of charm and bottom quarks.

 

 

A charged particle tracking system, consisting of two layers of the silicon pixel detectors and five layers of the silicon strip detectors placed circumferentially in the radial space from 2--80\,cm, will perfectly satisfy the above requirements.

In this poster, we will discuss the physics potential of the sPHENIX detector, the design and technology choices for the sPHENIX silicon tracker system, and the performance of the prototype tracker module.
