FEE Prototyping
• Mechanical model FEE+SDD, for thermal and vibration tests (F. Cadoux): – Low temperature conditions (operating temperature from -60°C to -
30°C), while the assembly will be done at 20°C.– Board material, glue
• FEE hybrid (Y. Favre):– Bread board 1 using existing material, XDXL ASIC under study in Italy:
test board enabling sensor readout, with the right mechanical design.– Bread board 2 using the same board geometry, with the real LAD
ASIC, produced by CNES: accommodate and evaluate final ASIC• To test the board design, thermal and vibration tests are
foreseen.

SDD environment test plan• Vacuum test: test the vacuum operation compliance of
the SDD detectors (high voltage on surface) • 50 MeV proton irradiation test: confirm test results on
leakage current achieved on the ALICE detector using a FBK detector prototype; verify X- ray spectroscopy performance after proton irradiation (DPNC, PSI)
• 5 MeV proton irradiation test: 5 MeV protons will stop in the center of the detector, where charge transfer occurs: verify both NIEL effects and impacts on the CTE (Charge Transfer Efficiency) (DPNC, PSI)

SDD environment test plan• Soft proton irradiation test: soft (< 400 keV) protons will
stop at the Si-SiO2 interface in the detector, where surface leakage current generation occurs: verify the level of leakage current increase, and possible effects on the oxide.
• Debris irradiation test: a few micrometeorites and/or debris are expected to impact on the detectors in orbit; little is known about their effect on the detector functionalities.
