The BTeV Pixel Detector and Trigger System Simon Kwan Fermilab P.O. Box 500, Batavia, IL 60510, USA BEACH2002, June 29, 2002 Vancouver, Canada
Pixel Vertex Detector • Reasons for Pixel Detector: • Superior signal to noise • Excellent spatial resolution -- 5-10 microns depending on angle, etc • Very Low occupancy • Very fast • Radiation hard • Special features: • It is used directly in the Level 1 trigger • Pulse height is measured on every channel with a 3 bit FADC • It is inside a dipole and gives a crude standalone momentum
HybridSiliconpixeldevices 0.25 mm rad-hard FPIX2 chip • Independent development and optimizations of readout chip and sensor • n+ pixels on n-type substrates: inter-pixel insulation technology under investigation • Bump-bonding of flipped chip: 2 technologies being considered: Indium (In) and solder (SnPb)
Comparing to other Pixel Detectors Luminosity at FermiLab detectors 2x1032cm-2 sec-1 Luminosity at LHC detectors 1x1034cm-2 sec-1
BTeV Radiation Background(L=2·1032 cm-2 s-1), charged hadronsPixels, Z = (55 – 60) cm
High density flex circuit development • 15 HDI delivered from CERN; only 4 without defects • Preliminary performance assessment very satisfactory design validation • We need to do more extensive tests and find commercial vendor for large scale production
Physics Performance of Pixel Detector Primary-secondary vertex separation Minus generated. s = 138m Distribution in L/s of Reconstructed Bs Mean = 44 t proper (reconstructed) - tproper (generated) s = 46 fs
Key Points This is made possible by a vertex detector with excellent spatial resolution, fast readout, low occupancy, and 3-d space points. A heavily pipelined and parallel processing architecture using inexpensive processing nodes optimized for specific tasks ~ 3000 processors (DSPs). Sufficient memory (~1 Terabyte) to buffer the event data while calculations are carried out. The BTeV Level I Vertex Trigger The trigger will reconstruct every beam crossing and look for TOPOLOGICAL evidence of a B decaying downstream of the primary vertex. Runs at 7.6 MHz!
L1 vertex trigger algorithm • Generate Level-1 accept if “detached” tracks in the BTeV pixel detector satisfy: (GeV/c)2 cm Execute Trigger
Level 2 Trigger • Start with the Level 1 tracks from the ``triggering collision” within the crossing. • Search for pixel hits along these tracks. • Refit the tracks using a Kalman Filter. Resultant momenta are improved to about 5-10%. • Resultant event must satisfy one of the two following criteria: • A secondary vertex must be present or • The collection of tracks must satisfy a minimum pT cut. • The combined L1 and L2 rejection is 1000-1. • Overall Efficiency is roughly 50% for most B decays of interest.
Summary • Great progress has been achieved in the design of the sensor, front end electronics and module structure of the BTeV pixel detector • We are making rapid progress towards a full system design that satisfies all the BTeV requirements • This vertex system will be the key element of the Trigger algorithm that will enable efficient collection of a variety of beauty decays & provide a superb tool to challenge the Standard Model
