  4. The CBM Detector: Overview • Radiation hard Silicon Tracking System in dipole field • Electron ID in RICH+TRD+ECAL • Hadron ID in TOF (RPC) • γ, μ, π in ECAL • High-speed DAQ and trigger system Volker Friese

  5. The CBM Backbone: Main Tracker (STS) Arrangement of silicon detector stations inside magnetic dipole field Large area coverage: strip sensors High occupancy regions: hybrid pixel detectors /small strips Volker Friese

  6. STS: Task and Challenges • Task: • track reconstruction in high track- density environment with high efficiency • Momentum resolution 1 % • Acceptance coverage 2.5 – 27 degrees UrQMD, central Au+Au @ 25 AGeV • Challenges: • high track density: up to 600 charges tracks per event in the acceptance • fast sensor / readout: up to 107 events per second • low mass detector • suitable for fast (online) event reconstruction algorithms Volker Friese

  7. STS: Conceptional Layout z = 50 cm – 100 cm: double sided strip sensors, pitch 60 μm, stereo angle 15 degrees, material budget 200 – 300 μm Si z = 20 cm – 50 cm: hybrid pixel sensorsor small strips other technologies under discussion beam target Volker Friese

  8. readout & cooling readout & cooling STS: Design of Si-Strip Stations • modular design with few (≈ 3) different wavers • connection of sensors by long-ladder technology • readout and cooling outside of acceptance • low-mass cables • occupancy < 5 % Volker Friese

  9. STS: Layout Studies CAD drawing of target / STS region • Ongoing layout and design • studies: • number / position of stations • pixel vs. strip sensors • strip densors: length, pitch, stereo angle • low-mass mechanical support and cabling Volker Friese

  10. CIS 4"280 µm Si STS: R&D GSI-01 Fast self-triggered readout chip n-XYTER in collaboration with DETNI prospect: CBM-XYTER Strip sensor development with CIS Erfurt First test sensor delivered July 2007 Volker Friese

  11. STS: Gaining Expertise • International workshop on • Silicon Detector Systems • GSI, May 2007: • Review of detector concept • Discussion on (alternative) technologies • Strategies for R&D and prototyping Volker Friese

  12. STS: Hit Pattern for Strip Stations Track inpact points Hit pattern Occupancy Large number of fake hits due to projective strip geometry: challenge for track finding Volker Friese

  13. pixels + strips: 97.02 ± 0.09only strips:94.88 ± 0.12 pixels +strips: 92.17 ± 0.14only strips:90.01 ± 0.15 efficiency [%] momentum [GeV/c] Track fit yields required momentum resolution STS: Track Reconstruction • Track finding with Cellular Automaton method • Good efficiency and performance (78 ms per event on CPU for central Au+Au) • Candidate for high level event selection (implementation in cell processors) • Other algorithms (e. g. Hough Transform, suitable for FPGA) also being developed all tracks primary tracks Volker Friese

  14. L X W STS: Performance for Hyperons Detection by weak decay topology with good acceptance and reasonable effiency: 15.8 % 6.7 % 7.7 % Central Au+Au, 25 AGeV Full reconstruction Almost background-free signals No identification of secondaries required Volker Friese

  15. The Big Challenge: Open Charm • CBM measures open charm close to threshold • extremely low multiplicity to be expected (HSD: <D0> = 2 x 10 -4 for central Au+Au @ 25 AGeV) • For discrimination from prompt background detection of the decay vertex with excellent resolution is required (D0: τ = 127 μm) W. Cassing, E. Bratkovskaya, A. Sibirtsev, Nucl. Phys. A 691 (2001) 745 Volker Friese

  16. The Key to Open Charm: Vertex Detector (MVD) • Challenge: Determine secondary vertices with a precision of 50 μm or better • Requirements: • very low material budget • excellent coordinate resolution • fast readout • radiation hardness • Solution: 2 – 3 thin Si detector layers close to the target (z = 5cm or 10 cm) inside vaccuum vessel Volker Friese

  17. MVD: Preferred Option MAPS • Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors • developed at IPHC Strasbourg • extremely thin (100 – 150 μm) • excellent position resolution (3 – 5 μm) • radiation hardness • readout speed (max. 10 μs) • Possible running scenario: • reduced interaction rate (1 MHz)  tolerable pile-up (10 – 20 events per frame) • exchange first station (diameter 10 cm) periodically Volker Friese

  18. with proton rejection MVD: Performance for D Mesons Open charm performance is the benchmark criterion for the MVD + STS design Study: D0 π+K-, τ=127 μm, central Au+Au @ 25 AGeV, <D0> = 2 x 10-4 First MAPS at z = 10 cm without PID for daughters Volker Friese

  19. MVD: Open Charm Studies • Ongoing studies: • D±ππK, τ = 317 μm • D0K-π+π+π- • Λc+pK-π+, τ = 62 μm Preliminary: Four particle channel for D0 seems to be preferrable (stricter constraint on 4-track vertex wins over 4-particle combinatorics) Volker Friese

  20. Hadrons Identified: The TOF System • Task: • Separate π-K-p over a large rapidity • interval • Requirements: • Location at z = 10 m from target • 2π acceptance needed for flow and fluctuation studies  large area (120 m2) • Timing resolution <≈ 80 ps • Rate capability > 20 kHz/cm2 Volker Friese

  21. TOF: Design and R&D Large area requires RPC detectors Modular design with pad (inner region) and strip (outer region) readout single gap RPC, Coimbra • R&D frontiers: • uniform resolution over large areas • rate capability • R&D in close cooperation with • FOPI and HADES Volker Friese

  22. TOF: Performance Central Au+Au @ 25 AGeV Full reconstruction Time resolution 80 ps Total efficiency vs. momentum (tracking + matching with TOF) K / π separation up to 3.5 GeV, p / K separation up to 8 GeV at efficiencies of 80 % to 90 % Volker Friese

  23. TOF: Acceptance for Hadrons ycm Bulk of hadrons can be identified by TOF Volker Friese

  24. Electron Identification: RICH Serves for electron identification up to 10 GeV Located directly behind STS, outside of the field Optical layout: Vertically separated focal planes, shielded by magnet yokes Volker Friese

  25. RICH: Ring Reconstruction reconstructed ring radius vs. p reconstructed rings in focal plane central Au+Au @ 25 AGeV Hadron blind up to 6 GeV (with N2 radiator) e / π separation up to 12 GeV Volker Friese

  26. RICH: Performance pion suppression electron efficiency • after track reconstruction, ring finding, matching and RICH quality cuts: • electron efficiency 70 % - 80 % • pion suppression ≈ 500 (misidentification due to false ring-track matches) Volker Friese

  27. w/o pt cut on single e Why Electrons: Low-Mass Vector Mesons CBM: Electron ID after spectrometer  + good inv. mass resolution - opening of conversion pairs fight electron background: γ conversion, π0 and ηDalitz decays π0 γe+e-  π0e+e-ηγe+e- ρe+e-  e+e-φe+e- all identified e+e- after all cuts Volker Friese

  28. w/o single – e pt cut LVM: Phase Space Coverage Phase space for ρ after full reconstruction and analysis cuts with single – e pt cut Good coverage in y and pt; w/o single-e pt cut also at low pt and small minv Volker Friese

  29. Further Electron ID: TRD Tasks: electron / hadron separation for p > 1 GeV tracking (connection of STS and TOF) Current design: 4 x 3 layers (radiator + MWPC) Pad readout Volker Friese

  30. TRD: R&D R&D frontiers: rate capability and speed Prototypes already tested at GSI Beam test facility at GSI Design rates (up to 100 kHz/cm2) well in reach Volker Friese

  31. target 25 mm Combined RICH+TRD: Performance for J/ψ target 250 mm combined pion suppression ≈ 10-4 major background source: electrons from conversion in target; can be reduced by thinner target J/ysm = 38 MeV/c2 y' sm = 45 MeV/c2 Excellent performance for J/ψ; with thin target also ψ' in reach Volker Friese

  32. CBM with Muons: MUCH For muon measurements: RICH replaced by absorber – detector system Challenges: first detectors in EM shower tracking through absorber TRD / TOF help to eliminate fake track matches With removed absorber also suited for hadron measurements Volker Friese

  33. MUCH Design 5 Fe absorbers interlayed with 3 detector stations Pad structure of detector layers Volker Friese

  34. Performance for Di-Muons Background sources: mis-identified hadrons (mostly fake matches) μ from π and K decay J/ysm = 22 MeV/c2 y' sm = 33 MeV/c2 Similar S/B as obtained in di-electron channels! Volker Friese

  35. Feasibility studies, including semi-realistic detector response and full event reconstruction demonstrate that the CBM detector concept is suitable for the measurement of the key observables: charm, low-mass dileptons, strangeness Tough detector R&D ahead to reach the design specifications Summary Progress is fast – stay tuned: 2006 http://www.gsi.de/fair/experiments/CBM 2005 2004 Volker Friese
