| Research Abstract |
With this grant-in-aid, research and development on two types of track detectors, (1)scintillating fiber detector and (2)double sided Silicon Strip Detector (SSD) have been carried out with the purpose of using them as port of the SDC detector to be used for SSC (Super-conducting Super Collider) experiment.
We tested various scintillator materials, and found that one with a new wave length shifter (PMP=1-pheny1-3-mesity1-2-pyrazoline) has output large enough to be usable with fibers of 30 micron diameter as the main body of thedetector. However, when bundled together, cross-talks between the fibers remained a problem to be solved.
SSD detector was developed jointly by US and Japanese members. Development of silicon senser was carried out in Japan while that of read out electronics was done in US. Cooling system and assembly mechanism were ventures of both sides. One unit of the SSC detector we developed has a dimension of 3.4cmX6cmx300 um with 640 pieces of p-type strips at 50 micron interval. Our requirement that the material thickness to be minimum lead to addition of n-type strips on th the other side of the detector allowing two dimensional readout. Many prototypes are made and tested using beams at both KEK at Tsukuba and RCNP at Osaka University. We found successful extraction of signals from both sides can be achieved by inserting p-type strips between n-type strips at the back side. In the final test, the resolution of 15 microns was obtained. Moreover, various materials and shapes of electrodes are tried to make the detector radiation hard. The final sample endured radiation dose of over 10^6 rads.
