Approach: 40x50 cm2 Module
Use the same “basic” module for all trackers types
– Size: 40x50 cm2 active area + 8 mm frame width
• FEM study:
– 3 x GEM foils (double mask technology)
– 2D strip readout (a la COMPASS) - 0.4 mm pitch
– x/y and u/v coordinates
Two exceptions in readout foil:
1. Front Tracker last 2 chambers:• Double segmented readout to reduce
occupancy (Pentchev talk)
2. Coordinate Detector:• 1D strip readout• 1 mm pitch

Readout Plane and ZIF extension
Readout along all sides
− not strictly required in x/y
unless additional segmentation
of the readout plane
− weight balance
− unavoidable in diagonal u/v
Extension feeds into ZIF
connectors:
− no soldering on the readout foil
− permit safer bending
Small frame width (8 mm);
minimize dead area
• Require precise cutting around the
ZIF terminalsRui De Oliveira final design based
on our drawing

HV sectors
Use the HV modules developed by Corradi/Murtas at LNF
• 7 independent HV channels for each
chamber (TBC)
• 3 HV identical doublets + 1 for drift (same on
all GEM foils); each doublet serves one GEM
foil, unused will be cut.
• SMD protection resistors, under the thin
frame

ceramics): proven to work in COMPASS• ZIF connector on the GEM side (no soldering on readout foil) • Minimum electronics components (front-end + VME custom module)• Copper connection between front-end and VME

– Demonstrate the large module works as expected
– Improve design
– Test APV25 electronics

Conclusions
• GEM technology adopted
– high rate and spatial resolution proven in real experiments
• Modular approach to get large area detectors, and at the same time
to guarantee the already achieved performance
• Work in progress:
– Production of the first 40x50 cm2 modules
– Finalize design of the mechanics
– Test Electronics prototypes
– Improve MonteCarlo and Digitization and analyze data
– Lab/Beam tests of GEM prototype
– Setup Infrastructure and tools (clean room, stretcher, quality checls
protocol …)

VME64x Custom Controller
VME controller hosts the digitization of the analog signals coming from the front-
end card.
Handle all control signals required by the front end cards (trigger/clock/I2C)
Compliant to the JLab/12 VME64x VITA 41 (VXS) standard
Designed with the possibility to detach the ADC subcomponent to extend FEC-
VME64x distance (expected to be ~7 m)
50 modules required
From the VXS backplane:
1. Trigger L1/L2
2. Synch
3. Clock
4. Busy (OUT)
(duplicated on front panel)

GEM: Prototype 0 and 1
• First 10x10 prototypes under cosmic test
• Using 70/30 Ar/CO2 gas mixture
• 7 Independent HV levels up to ~ 4000 V
Assembling the GEM chambers parts require a careful quality control at several check points and specific tools for gluing, heating, testing, cleaning
Final 40x50 cm2 module finalized; GEM foils and readout orderedFinal 40x50 cm2 module finalized; GEM foils and readout ordered

Slow Control
HV management is not trivial!
7 HV levels must rump up/down coherently
Low pass filters

Digitization
1. MC gives track and energy lost (E) in drift region2. Extract number of primary electron-ion pairs from
poissonian with mean=ni=E/W3. Each of the above pair originate from points uniformly
distributed along the primary track in drift region4. Electrons drift toward the readout at speed vd~5-6
cm/us5. Electrons spread (diffuse) on the perpendicular
direction with distribution defined by sigma_s=sqrt(2Dt)6. The total charge collected from each original pair is
gaussanian distributed around the mean gain G=8000 (20x3) with sigma = G*f and gaussian spatially distributed with sigma = sqrt(2Dvd/L), L=drift-readout distance, around the projection of the origin into the readout plane
