Cabling for an SSC silicon tracking system

title: Development of Large Area Integrated Silicon Tracking Elements for the LHC Luminosity Upgrade
abstract: A natural upgrade of the CERN LHC would be to increase the luminosity to 1035 cm-2s-1. For charged particle tracking at this Super-LHC, all-silicon systems are considered appropriate. For tracking in an upgraded ATLAS detector, outside a radius of 20 cm, large area integrated elements ("staves") containing silicon strip detectors are under design and development. Each stave would hold of order 30 individual modules and contain integrated electrical services, mechanical support, and cooling. Prototype tests of such staves are reported here including studies of noise, interference, and a comparison of power distribution by parallel and serial current flow. Mechanical design and simulation on full length staves are presented as well.

title: The silicon tracker of the beam test engineering model of the GLAST large-area telescope
abstract: The silicon tracker for the engineering model of the GLAST Large Area Telescope(LAT) has at least two unique features: it employs self triggering readout electronics, dissipating less than 200 mu-W per channel and to date represents the largest surface of silicon microstrip detectors assembled in a tracker (2.7 m{sup 2}). It demonstrates the feasibility of employing this technology for satellite based experiments, in which low power consumption, large effective areas and high reliability are required. This note describes the construction of this silicon tracker, which was installed in a beam test of positrons, hadrons and tagged photons at SLAC in December of 1999 and January of 2000.

title: The CLEO III silicon tracker
abstract: The Cornell Electron Storage Ring is being upgraded to B-factory luminosities. The CLEO detector is also being upgraded with a new charged particle tracking system and with the addition of a ring imaging Cerenkov particle identification system. A major part of the tracking system upgrade is the construction of a new four-layer double-sided silicon tracker with 93% solid angle coverage and new readout electronics. The status of the silicon tracker including production tests and the expected performance of the final system are discussed.

title: The SOUDAN 2 detector: The design and construction of the tracking calorimeter modules
abstract: SOUDAN 2 is a 960-ton tracking calorimeter which has been constructed to search for nucleon decay and other phenomena. The full detector consists of 224 calorimeter modules each weighing 4.3 tons. The design and construction of the modules are described. The modules consist of finely segmented iron instrumented with 1 m long drift tubes of 15 mm internal diameter. The tubes enable three spatial coordinates and dE/dx to be recorded for charged particles traversing the tubes.

title: MPS Data Acquisition System
abstract: A description is given of the data acquisition system used with the multiparticle spectrometer facility at Brookhaven. Detailed information is provided on that part of the system which connects the detectors to the data handler; namely, the detector electronics, device controller, and device port optical isolator.

title: Measurement of the underground atmospheric muon charge ratio using the MINOS Near Detector
abstract: The magnetized MINOS Near Detector, at a depth of 225 mwe, is used to measure the atmospheric muon charge ratio. The ratio of observed positive to negative atmospheric muon rates, using 301 days of data, is measured to be 1.266±0.001(stat)_(-0.014)^(+0.015)(syst). This measurement is consistent with previous results from other shallow underground detectors and is 0.108±0.019(stat+syst) lower than the measurement at the functionally identical MINOS Far Detector at a depth of 2070 mwe. This increase in charge ratio as a function of depth is consistent with an increase in the fraction of muons arising from kaon decay for increasing muon surface energies
