The GLAST Tracker is a low-profile, modular, and redundant design particle detection system for the Gamma Ray Large Area Telescope (GLAST). It features precise track detectors, a segmented calorimeter, and a charged particle anticoincidence shield for enhanced background rejection. The tracker is designed to minimize multiple-scattering errors and self-veto at high energy.

GLAST Concept Low profile for wide f.o.v. Segmented anti-shield to minimize self-veto at high E. Finely segment calorimeter for enhanced background rejection and shower leakage correction. High-efficiency, precise track detectors located close to the conversions foils to minimize multiple-scattering errors. Modular, redundant design. No consumables. Low power consumption (580 W) Charged particle anticoincidence shield Conversion foils Particle tracking detectors • Calorimeter • (energy measurement) e+ e- Pair-Conversion Telescope Photons materialize into matter-antimatter pairs: E -> me+c2 + me-c2 2 Hamamatsu 27/03/2001

Q/A during assembly • Acceptance tests (mechanics and leakage current @150V). • Leakage current after glueing the ladders. • Leakage current after bonding the strips. • Leakage current after encapsulation. • Leakage current after connection to the electronics. • Burn-in of individual strip with cosmic rays. • Complete set of tests (depletion voltage, bulk/interstrip and • decoupling capacitance, isolation resistors, leakage current • before and after irradiation,…) on test structures at the • batch level. • This strongly relies on detailed, stable and well documented tests made at the factory. 13 Hamamatsu 27/03/2001

Conclusions • R&D and specifications on SSD fully finished. • HPK pre-serie in full agreement with specifications. • Production of ladders can start in fall. • Production strategy strongly relies on mechanical tolerances • and Q/A tests made at the factory. • Production rates of 600-700 SSD per month are required • for more than one year. 16 Hamamatsu 27/03/2001
