Advanced Beam Test Setup for SCT Modules: Results and Analysis

This document presents the results of a typical beam test setup for Scintillator Trigger Telescopes (SCT) utilizing a 180 GeV pion beam. It details the infrastructure, including a thermally insulated box and different module types used during the test. Key findings include the effects of radiation damage on module efficiency, electronic noise, and signal variations. Metrics such as signal-to-noise ratios, cluster sizes, and tracking efficiency are explored, offering insights into the performance and reliability of SCT prototypes after significant radiation exposure.

  3.  ~ 23 m • After 10 years the SCT will receive up to 2·1014 neq/cm2. Radiation causes damage on the module. • Radiation creates defects • Type inversion • Electronics noise and leakage current increase Variation of efficiency and noise occupancy with comparator threshold. Horizontal lines are the ATLAS specifications. Beam test studies 3 • Resolution is measured. SCT modules are almost single-strip. The detector pitch is 80 m in order to avoid charge sharing and preserve a good resolution. J. E. Garcia SCT Beam test results RTN – December 03

  4. S-Curve Beam test… (II) 4 • Signal to noise ratio for the SCT modules is  14. The pulse shape can be reconstructed from beam test data and compared with the theoretical response of the shaper • The median charge observed on binary SCT prototypes is around 3.4  0.2 fC • The Lorentz angle has been measured using a 1.56 T magnet and different incidence angles. The most sensitive parameter to these changes is the cluster size • L = 3.3 º  0.3 º (at 150 V) J. E. Garcia SCT Beam test results RTN – December 03

  5. efficiency Tracking study 5 SCT Modules Telescope • For reconstructing tracks only the position measurements of the irradiatedSCT modules are used. The beam telescope is only read out for comparison. Example of a reconstructed event • The tracking efficiency depends on threshold. The maximum efficiency is 97 % obtained at a threshold of 1.2 fC for a bias over 450 V. • Fake rate is kept below 10-3 independent of the bias voltage on the detector. J. E.
