ACD Veto Counters Segmented scintillator tiles e– e+ GLAST LAT Overview Si Tracker 8.8105 channels 155 Watts CsI Calorimeter 8.4 radiation lengths 8 × 12 bars 3000 kg, 650 W (allocation) 1.8 m 1.8 m 1.0 m Effective area ~1 m2
Tested SSDs procured from Hamamatsu Photonics 4 SSDs bonded in series. 19 “trays” stack to form one of 16 Tracker modules. 10,368 2592 342 342 648 Chip-on-board readout electronics modules. Composite panels, with tungsten foils bonded to the botom face. Tracker Construction- Overview “Tray” 18 Kapton readout cables. Electronics mount on the tray edges.
~80 m2 of PIN diodes, with P implants segmented into narrow strips. Reliable, well-developed technology from particle-physics applications. Leakage current < 2.5 nA/cm2 Bad channels < 1/10,000 Full depletion < 100 V. Silicon Strip Detector 8.95 cm square Hamamatsu-Photonics SSD before cutting from the 6-inch wafer. The thickness is 400 microns, and the strip pitch is 228 microns.
Readout Electronics on the Tray Silicon detector • Binary readout • Redundancy scheme • Zero suppression GTFE GTRC
Readout Electronics Based on 2 ASICs developed exclusively for this project: • 64-channel amplifier-discriminator chip (GTFE); 24 per module. • Readout controller chip (GTRC); 2 per module.
