Hall G, 2008, The upgrade programme of the CMS Tracker at SLHC

The CMS experiment at LHC is planning a major upgrade of its tracking system to adapt to expected increases in luminosity of the accelerator. Present ideas suggest it will be achieved in two stages, with a major long shutdown after the experiments have reached their design lifetimes, about ten years after start-up. At this time the accelerator will increase the luminosity to 1035 cm-2.s-1. The new tracker will then have to cope with several hundred interactions per bunch crossing and fluxes of thousands of charged particles emerging from the 40MHz collisions. This will require major developments of detector technology and R&D has begun to address the expected challenges. Among the most important are the radiation tolerance of sensors and other components, the provision and distribution of power for both electronics and sensors, the removal of heat loads, which may significantly exceed those in the present detector, and the development of low power, but highly performing electronics in more advanced technologies. CMS has also identified another novel requirement, which is to utilise tracker data in the first level trigger, which must maintain the 100kHz rate for compatibility with existing sub-detector systems while increasing the decision latency by only a few µs. The motivations for the upgrade and recent progress in several aspects of the R&D are described.

The CMS Silicon Tracker comprises a complicated set of hardware and software components that have been thoroughly tested at CERN before final integration of the Tracker. A vertical slice of the full readout chain has been operated under near-final conditions. In the absence of the tracker front-end modules, simulated events have been created within the FED (Front End Driver) and used to test the readout reliability and efficiency of the final DAQ (Data Acquisition). The data are sent over the S-Link 64 bit links to the FRL(Fast Readout Link) modules at rates in excess of 200 MBytes/s per FED depending on setup and conditions. The current tracker DAQ is fully based on the CMS communication and acquisition tool XDAQ. This paper discusses setup and results of a vertical slice of the full Tracker final readout system comprising 2 full crates of FEDs, 30 in total, read out through 1 full crate of final FRL modules. This test is to complement previous tests done at Imperial College[3] taking them to the next level in order to prove that a complete crate of FRLs using the final DAQ system, including all subcomponents of the final system both software and hardware with the exception of the detector modules themselves, is capable of sustained readout at the desired rates and occupancy of the CMS Tracker. Simulated data are created with varying hit occupancy (1-10%) and Poisson distributed trigger rates (<200KHz) and the resulting behaviour of the system is recorded. Data illustrating the performance of the system and data readout are presented.

We report recent work on the design of a pixel detector for CMS at the Super-LHC. This work builds on previous studies of a tracking detector capable of providing track stubs to be used in the Level-1 Trigger (L1T). We now focus on the use of two 'superlayers' of tracking; each comprising a pair of pixel sensors with 50×50×50μm3 pitch (z×Φ ×r) separated by a few millimetres. Preliminary work on track reconstruction in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is also presented.
