Integration Concept of the CBM Micro Vertex Detector

The Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) is the most upstream detector of the fixed-target Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment (CBM) at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). It enables high-precision low-momentum tracking in direct proximity of the target. Reaching the stringent requirements for the MVD, a material budget of~$0.3\,-\,0.5\%\,X_0$ per layer, operating the dedicated CMOS MAPS~(`MIMOSIS') in the target vacuum, the strong magnetic dipole field, and a harsh radiation environment~(5\,Mrad, $7\times10^{13}\,n_{\text{eq}}/\text{cm}^2$ per CBM year), poses an unprecedented integration challenge. In this paper, the integration concept of the detector is be outlined, elaborating on the selection and preparation of materials, assembly procedures, and quality assessment steps in the ongoing preparation of pre-series production and detector commissioning in 2028.

In beam performances of the MIMOSIS-2.1 CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor

MIMOSIS is a CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor developed to equip the Micro Vertex Detector of the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR/GSI. The sensor will combine an excellent spatial precision of $5~μm$ with a time resolution of $5~μs$ and provide a peak hit rate capability of $\mathrm{\sim 80~ MHz/cm^2}$. To fulfill its task, MIMOSIS will have to withstand ionising radiation doses of $\sim 5~ \mathrm{MRad}$ and fluences of $\sim 7 \times 10^{13}~\mathrm{n_{eq}/cm^2}$ per year of operation. This paper introduces the reticle size full feature sensor prototype MIMOSIS-2.1, which was improved with respect to earlier prototypes by adding on-chip grouping circuts and by improving the analog power grid. Moreover, it features for a first time a $50~μm$ epitaxial layer, which is found to improve the performances of the non-irradiated device significantly. We discuss the in beam sensor performances as measured during beam tests at the CERN-SPS.

Status of the vertex detector program of the CBM experiment at FAIR

The Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment (CBM) is one of the core experiments of the future FAIR facility (Darmstadt/Germany). The fixed-target experiment will explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter in the regime of high net baryon densities with numerous rare probes. The Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) will determine the secondary decay vertex of open charm particles with $\sim 50~\rm μm$ precision, contribute to the background rejection in dielectron spectroscopy, and help to reconstruct neutral decay products of strange particles by means of missing mass identification. The MVD comprises four stations with 0.3 and $0.5\%~x/X_0$, which are placed between $5$ and $20~\rm cm$ downstream the target and inside vacuum. It will host highly-granular, next-generation Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors, with a spatial precision of $5\rm~μm$, a time resolution of $5 ~\rm μs$, and a peak rate capability of $\sim 700~\rm kHz/mm^2$. Moreover, a tolerance to $3\cdot10^{13}~\rm n_{eq}/cm^{2}$ and $\gtrsim 3~\rm Mrad$ are required. In this document, we summarize the status of sensor development, station prototyping, and the detector slow control.

Comparison of Measurements of Charge Transfer Inefficiencies in a CCD with High-Speed Column Parallel Readout

Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) have been successfully used in several high energy physics experiments over the past two decades. Their high spatial resolution and thin sensitive layers make them an excellent tool for studying short-lived particles. The Linear Collider Flavour Identification (LCFI) Collaboration has been developing Column-Parallel CCDs for the vertex detector of a future Linear Collider which can be read out many times faster than standard CCDs. The most recent studies are of devices designed to reduce both the CCD's intergate capacitance and the clock voltages necessary to drive it. A comparative study of measured Charge Transfer Inefficiency values between our previous and new results for a range of operating temperatures is presented.

Modeling of Charge Transfer Inefficiency in a CCD with High Speed Column Parallel Readout

Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) have been successfully used in several high energy physics experiments over the past two decades. Their high spatial resolution and thin sensitive layers make them an excellent tool for studying short-lived particles. The Linear Collider Flavour Identification (LCFI) collaboration is developing Column-Parallel CCDs (CPCCDs) for the vertex detector of a future Linear Collider. The CPCCDs can be read out many times faster than standard CCDs, significantly increasing their operating speed. An Analytic Model has been developed for the determination of the charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) of a CPCCD. The CTI values determined with the Analytic Model agree largely with those from a full TCAD simulation. The Analytic Model allows efficient study of the variation of the CTI on parameters like readout frequency, operating temperature and occupancy.

Radiation Hardness of CCD Vertex Detectors for the ILC

Results of detailed simulations of the charge transfer inefficiency of a prototype CCD chip are reported. The effect of radiation damage in a particle detector operating at a future accelerator is studied by examining two electron trap levels, 0.17 eV and 0.44 eV below the bottom of the conduction band. Good agreement is found between simulations using the ISE-TCAD DESSIS program and an analytical model for the 0.17 eV level. Optimum operation is predicted to be at about 250 K where the effect of the traps is minimal which is approximately independent of readout frequency. This work has been carried out within the Linear Collider Flavour Identification (LCFI) collaboration in the context of the International Linear Collider (ILC) project.
