2. Technical Board, 12 July 2005Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI2 Inner prototype status Leakage current (specs < 3 μA) Detector capacitance 300 nA 2 nF Bias voltage 300 V Bias voltage 300 V Hamamatsu inner sensor prototype: well within specs → No changes for production → Outer sensor design started IDEAS inner hybrid prototype: VA1_ALICE chips within specs Minor changes to hybrid details → 2nd prototype to be delivered mid Aug. Prototype module (sandwich) status: m.i.p. particles seen (500 MeV e - ) Noise level now as expected → Further beam tests 25-26 July → 2nd prototype mid Aug. Readout electronics status: → ongoing

3. Technical Board, 12 July 2005Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI3 First inner type module Gluing of first ”sandwich” module and bonding at CERN 500 MeV e - beam test at Aarhus, DK FMD module e - beam hybrid sensor pitch adaptor

4. Technical Board, 12 July 2005Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI4 Aarhus beam test Problems discovered: - wrong read-out timing - strip noise too high Count Expected m.i.p. signal m.i.p. (wrong timing shifted peak down) New beam test scheduled 25 July Recorded energy on single Si strip. Most e - beam outside strip acceptance.

5. Technical Board, 12 July 2005Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI5 Prototype noise tests Tests to eliminate noise: - bonded ”flat” module (to reduce hybrid-sensor capacitance): no change - various grounding schemes: no change - add noise filter to HV bias: noise reduced to expected value (6-700 ENC) - noise level now independent of further shielding/grounding/power supply/... Flat module with external HV filter Sandwich module with HV filter on hybrid

6. Technical Board, 12 July 2005Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI6 Prototype noise tests Short strips (580 ENC) Long strips (730 ENC) bad channels on hybrid unbonded strips

7. Technical Board, 12 July 2005Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI7 Further prototype testing Lab test with sandwich and IDEAS readout... and Digitizer+RCU readout Good progress with prototype Digitizer and USB version of RCU Next: - complete Digitizer+RCU tests - repeat beam tests - build second sandwich with new hybrid RCU Digitizer

16. Technical Board, 12 July 2005Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI16 Integration test FMD2 For integration test, a ’quick and heavy’ version of the FMD2 was used. Important dimensions were OK, materials too heavy, FMD protection missing.

17. Technical Board, 12 July 2005Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI17 FMD3 mechanics Support plate Digitizer board Internal mechanics as for FMD2 and FMD3. Missing a ’frame’ or ’box’ to attach to V0. Needs further interaction with integration team.

18. Technical Board, 12 July 2005Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI18 Conclusions  Inner type sensor (Hamamatsu) and hybrid (IDEAS) work to expectations → design of outer sensors started → ready to order all inner sensors now → 2nd hybrid prototype in August, small changes  Readout electronics tests with Digitizer and RCU ongoing  FMD3 cone: mechanical drawings ready to bring to carbon fibre industry  FMD2 support: detailed design to start in August  FMD1 box and support: details to be worked out in collaboration with integration team
