Silicon Detectors for the Large Prototype TPC test setup at DESY

TL;DR

This paper discusses the integration of silicon strip sensors with a large prototype TPC at DESY, detailing the setup, testing, and data acquisition system for enhanced tracking in particle physics experiments.

Contribution

It introduces the installation and testing of silicon strip sensors outside the TPC field cage, combined with an adapted CMS DAQ system for precise tracking.

Findings

Silicon modules are tested and ready for installation.

The DAQ system is adapted from CMS for this setup.

Mechanical support and DAQ system are in preparation.

Abstract

The Linear Collider TPC collaboration constructed a Large Prototype TPC (LPTPC) which is now installed at the EUDET facility, in DESY. The SiLC-collaboration (Silicon for the Linear Collider) will install position sensitive silicon strip sensors outside the field cage of the LPTPC, to provide precise tracking information. The data acquisition system (DAQ) is an adapted CMS readout system. The silicon modules are tested and ready to be installed, the mechanical module support and the DAQ system are in preparation.
