  12. Testbeam Evaluation – Setup... D. Haas Firenze, 29 Sep - 1 Oct 2003, page 12

  13. Testbeam Evaluation – ...Setup 6 Silicon Ladders (connected to Tracker Electronics) ←NIM-Crate ←DC/DC-Converter ←Tracker Electronics ←DAQ PC (connected to Control Room Run Control) Beamline D. Haas Firenze, 29 Sep - 1 Oct 2003, page 13

  14. Testbeam Results – Shaping Time • K-Side • Best shaping time around 4-5 ms • S-Side • Best shaping time around 2.5-3.5 ms Electronics can handle different shaping times Preliminary Bill Burger D. Haas Firenze, 29 Sep - 1 Oct 2003, page 14

  15. Testbeam Results – Signal to Noise Preliminary Bill Burger Signal to Noise of ~8 on S-Side and ~6.5 on K-side for Protons D. Haas Firenze, 29 Sep - 1 Oct 2003, page 15

  16. Testbeam Results – Resolution Preliminary Bill Burger Resolution around 20-30 m in x (K-side) and 8-10 m in y (S-side) (this corresponds to the expected resolution of 110 mm/12 and 27.5 mm/12) D. Haas Firenze, 29 Sep - 1 Oct 2003, page 16

  17. Testbeam Results – Raw Data • Raw Data: • 4He is cut away • Different dynamic behaviour of S and K Side • Correct charge integral: • for center-of-gravity • for each Z • for each PreAmp • Calculate truncated charge for S and K Preliminary Bill Burger D.

  21. Conclusions • AMS02 silicon tracker is on schedule • Ladder Production nearly finished • Assembly of planes has started and is going well • Production of readout electronics is ongoing • Silicon ladders show excellent performance • Good Signal to Noise • Resolution of ~20-30 mm for x and ~8-10 mm for y confirm expected performance • dE/dx results outperform expectations • Elements up to Nickel could be identified • BUT: careful study of corrections is necessary • More studies on upcoming testbeams...
