  2. Large Pivot Confirm Small Confirm Pivot MM Trigger: 3-out-of 4 & 3-out-of-4 Pad Strips 11 mm 290 mm Wire groups

  3. Strip segmentation Strips measure θ Strip pitch: 3.2 mm Typical number of strips in a gas-volume : D1/D2/D3: 400/360/360 Therefore main contribution to overall channel number: 280K out of 360K Size of active volumes all designed to hold exactly (n+½) strips. To avoid problems of track hitting inter-strip gaps in more than one layer, strips are staggered across layers: Layers 1 and 3: ½,1,1,1,1,1,1,… Layers 2 and 4: …..,1,1,1,1,1,½ Note: this is not really needed because lack of projectivity does the job since θ●Δz > pitch. (“Maximum shuffling” argument)

  4. Wire staggering Avalanche is late if originates half the distance between two wires, causing inefficiency. Since we want a 3 out 4 trigger, wires have to be staggered in 4 planes of modules to avoid situations with two late avalanches. Reminder: wires measure “φ”. Bending angles and distances involved make this possible in the following arrangement: 0, ¼, ¾, ½

  5. Wire group segmentation • Wires are bundled in “groups”, which are themselves staggered in the 4 layers by 0, ¼, ½, ¾. • Group size: • D0 : 20 (not read out) • D1 : 10 , Δφ = 13/8 mrad at high/low η • D2 : 20 , Δφ = 16/10 mrad at high/low η • D3 : 20 ,Δφ = 10/8 mradat high/low η • VMM channel filling • from 45 to 64 (out of 64 max.) • Rates: see slides prepared for tomorrow’s discussion

  6. Improving granularity by Pad staggering Pivot Layers 1&2 Pivot Layers 3&4

  7. Pivot/Confirm wedges are also staggered wrt each other: 1/4th pad granularity Pivot Layers 1&2 Confirm Layers 1&2 Pivot Layers 3&4 Confirm Layers 3&4

  8. Reducing bandwidth inside wedges by pad “fuzzyness” Pivot Layer 1 Pivot Layer 2 Pivot Layer 3 Pivot Layer 4

  9. The complete picture Pivot Layers 1&3 Pivot Layers 2&4 Confirm Layers 1&3 Confirm Layers 2&4

  10. In real life • Pad size is a compromise between : • Number of channels • Individual rate • Each quadruplet is built from two face-to-face doublets • η fuzziness achieved for free by Z • φ fuzziness achieved by construction • Typical pad height ~80 mm (~25 strips)
