Key Features of the CFT • Scintillation dyes - 1% PTP + 1500 PPM of 3HF • Fiber construction - 830 m PS core, multiclad • Photodetectors - Visible Light Photon Counter • Fiber ribbon manufacture - grooved jig plate • Fiber ribbon placement - located with CMM • Fiber-to-fiber connectors - curved, grooved, diamond finished • Support cylinders - double-walled carbon fiber
Visible Light Photon Counters • Key features of the VLPC • Solid state detectors of photons, manufactured at Boeing (originated at Rockwell International) • Operate at the temperature of a few degrees Kelvin • Capable of detecting single photons • High quantum efficiency for photon detection ~80% • High gain ~40 000 electrons per converted photon • Low gain dispersion • Can operate in a high background radiation environment • Used for CFT, CPS and FPS
VLPC Operation • Based on the phenomenon of Impurity Band Conduction, occurring when a semiconductor is heavily doped with shallow donors or acceptors • Electrical transport occurs by charges hopping from impurity site to impurity site • In the VLPC for DØ silicon heavily doped with arsenic atoms • Impurity band 0.05 eV below the conduction band • Normal 1.12 eV valence band used to absorb photons • The 0.05 eV gap used to create an electron-D+ avalanche multiplication • Small gap means low field needed

VLPC Development History • 1987 published paper on SSPM Solid State Photo-Multipliers • sensitive into infra-red region • 1989 HISTE Proposal Submitted High-Resolution Scintillating Fiber Tracker Experiment • Main goal: to suppress sensitivity in infrared region • 1991-1992 HISTE I, HISTE II, HISTE III • 1993 HISTE IV • Visible QE ~60%, Cosmic Ray Test at Fermilab • 1994 HISTE V High QE High Gain • HISTE VI large scale production based on HISTE V

Fiber Placement Inherent fiber doublet resolution is on the order of 100 microns • want to know fiber locations to < 50 microns However, for the Level 1 trigger must place fibers with a skew < 40 microns end-to-end • implications for ribbon fabrication, ribbon mounting and cylinder construction
CFT Track Trigger Trigger response for Z®ee with 4 min.bias (1) Fiber light signals electronic signals (2) Feed all axial fibers into logic gates/cells in Programmable Logical Devices (3) Fiber hit pattern recognition to look for tracks consistent with momentum PT > 1.5 GeV/c (4) Send out the track information to outside L1 CFT

The problem with Torlon • During assembly of cylinder 3, interference between ribbon connectors observed • Torlon connectors had grown! • Humidity effect • Studies inconclusive, so … • Torlon has now been rejected • Barrels 7,8 will use aluminum connectors • Other barrels, either Al or Techtron
