升级后的ALICE内跟踪系统的校准

Calibration of the Upgraded ALICE Inner Tracking System

Andrea Sofia Triolo

摘要:

ALICE实验已经用一个由24000多个单片有源像素传感器芯片组成的7层像素跟踪器取代了它的内部跟踪系统,以满足LHC运行3的物理程序的要求。升级后的内部跟踪系统(ITS 2)已在LHC长时间关闭2期间安装在ALICE实验中,并于2022年7月开始在运行3开始时采集数据,质子-质子碰撞的能量为$\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV。它拥有125亿像素,是迄今为止在高能物理实验中安装的最大像素探测器。为了保证稳定的操作和始终如一的高数据质量,必须对探测器进行定期校准。校准程序的主要部分包括像素阈值的调谐和后续测量以及噪声通道的确定。特别是阈值扫描的复杂性与像素数量呈线性关系,这就是为什么ITS 2的阈值扫描是一个前所未有的挑战。这项工作描述了架构的校准框架,它已经开发使用的ITS 2和ALICE数据处理层的探测器控制系统。第一阈值和噪声校准的结果进行了现场显示。

英文摘要:

The ALICE Experiment has replaced its Inner Tracking System with a 7-layer pixel-only tracker made out of more than 24000 monolithic active pixel sensor chips, in order to fulfill the requirements of the physics program of the LHC Run 3. The upgraded Inner Tracking System (ITS2) has been installed in the ALICE experiment during the LHC long shutdown 2 and has started to take data with the beginning of Run 3 in July 2022, with proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV. With its 12.5 billion pixels it is the largest pixel detector installed in a high energy physics experiment to date. To guarantee stable operation and a consistently high data quality, a regular calibration of the detector has to be performed. The main part of the calibration program consists of a tuning and subsequent measurement of the pixel thresholds and a determination of the noisy channels. In particular the complexity of the threshold scan depends linearly on the number of pixels, which is why the threshold scan of the ITS2 is an unprecedented challenge. This work describes the architecture of the calibration framework, which has been developed using the detector control system of the ITS2 and the ALICE data processing layer. Results of first threshold and noise calibrations done in situ are shown as well.
