摘要:

布鲁克海文国家实验室(BNL)相对论重离子对撞机(RHIC)的STAR实验正在设计和建造一个基于三重GEM技术的前向跟踪系统。这一升级是必要的,使星的能力,重建和识别的电荷符号的W玻色子在一个扩展的快速范围内,通过其轻子衰变模式到一个电子(正电子)和中微子。这将允许在RHIC唯一可用的极化p + p碰撞的质子的味道分离的自旋结构的详细研究。前向GEM跟踪器FGT将由六个三重GEM盘组成,其外径约为39 cm,内径约为10.5 cm,沿束管排列,在广泛的碰撞顶点范围内覆盖从1.0到2.0的伪快度范围。GEM箔将由Tech-Etch,Inc.生产。使用10 cm x 10 cm Tech-Etch GEM箔和二维正交条读出的测试探测器的束测试已经证明了70 μ m或更好的空间分辨率和高效率。

英文摘要:

The STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is in the process of designing and constructing a forward tracking system based on triple GEM technology. This upgrade is necessary to give STAR the capability to reconstruct and identify the charge sign of W bosons over an extended rapidity range through their leptonic decay mode into an electron (positron) and a neutrino. This will allow a detailed study of the flavor-separated spin structure of the proton in polarized p + p collisions uniquely available at RHIC. The Forward GEM Tracker FGT will consist of six triple GEM disks with an outer radius of ~39 cm and an inner radius of ~10.5 cm, arranged along the beam pipe, covering the pseudo-rapidity range from 1.0 to 2.0 over a wide range of collision vertices. The GEM foils will be produced by Tech-Etch, Inc. Beam tests with test detectors using 10 cm x 10 cm Tech-Etch GEM foils and a two dimensional orthogonal strip readout have demonstrated a spatial resolution of 70 um or better and high efficiency.
