Frawley DOE review 2015/04/30 Reconfiured VTX S0a/b S1a/b S2

4. Concept of S2 sensor (for SVX4) 96mmx92.16mm active area Divided into 12x12 blocks Each block is 8mm x 7.68mm and made of 128 strips of 8mm x 60 micron Upper 6 bocks are connected upwards. Lower 6 blocks are connected by downwards 24 SVX4 chips to read- out the entire sensor

5. sPHENIX silicon tracker R&D in Japan Silicon sensor R&D at RIKEN in JFY2014 Large Prototype sensor for the outer most layer – 96 mm x 92.16mm active area – 320  m thick – AC coupled – 6x128x24 mini-trips (60  m x 8mm) – 128x24 read-out channels 5 sensors manufactured at Hamamatsu and delivered to RIKEN in March 2015 For all of 5 delivered sensors – No NG channels or strip – Vfd = 50 V – Vbreakdown > 250V (>500V for two) All 5 sensors are now at BNL for testing

6. I-V, C-V data Vfd: 50V No NG channels Breakdown V > 250V

7. Silicon tracker model for 2 nd round of R&D FPHX chip for read-out. – FPHX is the read-out chip of FVTX – 128ch/chip. 3bit ADC /ch. – Low power (64mw per chip) 5 strip layers + 2 pixel S2: 1 strip layer at R~60 cm ~1% X0 (2% in ref. design) S1ab: 2 strip layer at R~34 cm ~1% X0 total (2% in ref. design) S0ab: 2 strip layer at R~ 8 cm ~1% X0 total (2.7% in ref. design) P1: pixel at R~5 cm (reconfigured VTXP) 1.3% X0 P0: pixel at R~2.5cm (reconfigured VTXP) 1.3% X0 – All strips are 60  m x 9.6mm. S0b has a small stereo angle. – Overall material is ~5.6% radiation length. – Air cooling to achieve small radiation length – Small rad. length enables smaller over-all size and to keep the required momentum resolution to separate 3 Upsilon states – S0+S1+S2: ~8m 2 of silicon and 3.2M ch

8. 3 sensors for strip layers Each sensor is divided in cells of 9.6m(z)x7.68mm active area. Each cell consists of 128 strips of 60  m x 9.6mm S2, S1, S0 sensors are made of 12x10, 6x10, and 2x10 cells, respectively 1 ch in S2 read 6 strips and 1 ch in S1 read 3 strips to save channel counts. Channel occupancy is ~0.2% in S1 and 0.1% in S1 in central Au+Au. Bonding pads for 10 FPHXs S2 sensor Bonding pads for 10 FPHXs S1 sensor Bonding pads for 10 FPHXs

9. Concept of FPHX based module (S1) This is a concept of a sensor module with FPHX read-out It is made of – Sensor of (6 x 10) cell structure. Each cell has 128ch of 80um x 9.6mm strips – A “ROC” (or “HDI”) of 10 FPHX chips. They are attached at the top and the bottom of the sensor – The “ROC” is electrically equivalent to the “small HDI” of FVTX so that it can be read- out by a FVTX test bench ROC of 10 FPHX chip

10. Prototype ladder A full size ladder requires many SMs. Perhaps ~half ladder for S1 and S2 is a realistic goal? ROC or Hybrid Silicon SensorSVX4 Support/cooling S1a/b ladder (double layer) S2 ladder (single layer)

11. Concept of S1 barrel (middle layer) 4.6cm active area; 6.4cm total (9mm wings) 44 ladders. (22 at R=30.8+/-1.0; 22 at R=33.1+/-1.0

12. Plan and status of 2 nd round R&D in Japan Plan: – Develop prototype S1 sensor (~5cm x 10cm, 2 sensors per wafer) at Hamamatsu – Develop read-out FPC for the sensor. – Assemble them into prototype sensor module – Test and evaluate the silicon module using FVTX test bench – About half year for the full cycle of R&D – Design and protoype of the mechanical support /cooling structure – 2 nd round of sensor module prototype in the later half of the year Goal: Protype of a full ladder at the end of JFY Status: – Started design of prototype S1 sensor at Hamamatsu. I expect that the sensor prototype will be delivered in September – Started design of read-out FPC at a FPC company near Tokyo with consultation with a wire-bonding and assembly firm. I expect that FPC will be availabe by the delivery of the sensor – Starting the mechanical/cooling design (very preliminary stage)

13. HPK design of S1 sensor Received from HPK today (2015/06/16)

14. R&D status and plan Sensor: HPK – Conceptual design done. (prevous slides) Flexible Printed Circuit: YAMASHITA Materials – Visit the company on 6/2 for discussion (YA, Nakagawa, Mitsuka, Taketani, Nagashima) – Layout design is on going – Rough cost estimate Wire-bonding/Assembly: HAYASHI – Discussion at RIKEN on 6/4 – Rough cost estimate for prototyping Goal of the first round of prototype: – both of the sensor and FPC by this fall (3months) – Assembly at Hayashi (1 month) – Test the module at RIKEN using the FVTX test bench (1month) Start / order the 2 nd round prototype in this JFY

15. Recent progress 1 st round of FPC layout (6 layers) by Yamshita Expected Upsilon mass resolution (calculated by Tony Frawley) 100 MeV with 65cm maximum radius

16. Effort for non-US funding for the tracker I submitted a large KAKENHI grant proposal to JSPS last October – JSPS is the main funding agency in Japan. Its function is similar to NSF in the US Grant Title: sPHENIX experiment: study of quark gluon plasma by using jet probes The grant asked for total of 5 oku yen (~$5M) over 5 years from JFY2015 to JFY2019. – The end date of JFY2019 is March 2020 ~ end of sPHENIX construction – In the JSPS grant system, we receive the full amount of the allocated fund. Overhead will be provided separately. The grant passed the first stage of selection and we went to a hearing on March 26. – About 20% of applicants can go to a hearing. Half of them are approved. Unfortunately, my proposal was not accepted after the hearing. I will try again this year.

17. Summary sPHENIX silicon tracker concept and requirements First prototype sensor delivered. – Very good result, according to the test by HPK Plan and status of the 2 nd round R&D – Use FPHX chip to reduce heat load  thinner tracker – Develop prototype sensor modules in ~half year and a prototype ladder in ~1 year – Design of sensor and FPC started.
