The DØ detector
Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A 338:2-3 (1994) 185-253
Abstract:
The DØ detector is a large general purpose detector for the study of short-distance phenomena in high energy antiproton-proton collisions, now in operation at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The detector focusses upon the detection of electrons, muons, jets and missing transverse momentum. We describe the design and performance of the major elements of the detector, including the tracking chambers, transition radiation detector, liquid argon calorimetry and muon detection. The associated electronics, triggering systems and data acquisition systems are presented. The global mechanical, high voltage, and experiment monitoring and control systems which support the detector are described. We also discuss the design and implementation of software and software support systems that are specific to DØ. © 1994.APC3-A Charge Sampling, Storage & Readout Chip for Silicon Detector Readout RD2 Collaboration

Abstract:
The “APC3” is a charge sampling and storage chip designed for high speed readout of silicon detectors. It has 32 channels, each with preamplifier, integrator and storage capacitors. Current from a silicon detector connected to the input is integrated as a charge and stored on a capacitor. There are 128 capacitors per channel which are used sequentially to store the charge. The charge is held on the storage capacitor until it is either read out or discarded. Logic on the chip manages the storage and retrieval of samples. This logic uses a novel architecture based on a system of pointers and read out addresses. This paper describes the operation of the chip and measurements of its performance. © 1994 IEEEAnalysis of hadronic transitions in ϒ(3S) decays
