Strong-interaction physics:
confinement, broken chiral symmetry, hadron masses.
CERN-SPS and RHIC:
indications for a new state of matter: „Quark Gluon Plasma“. Produced at high T and low B.
LHC: even higher T, lower B.
QCD phase diagram:
poorly known at low T, high B: new measurements at FAIR: with highest baryon densities!

Physics and ObservablesTransition of normal nuclear matter to a deconfined quark gluon plasma.
Physics Observables
In-medium modifications of hadrons:

Open charm measurement: one of the prime interests of CBM, and one of the most difficult tasks.

Silicon Detectors Requirements Small pixels – less than 25 x 25 µm2
Thin – less than ~100 µm silicon
Radiation hard – > 1013 n_equiv/cm2
Fast readout – Interaction rate up to 107/s
Such a detector does not exist !R&D on existing detector types. Two possibilities:
Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors:- small pixels: 25 x 25 µm2
- thin: standard 120 µm, study: 50 µm - achieve spatial resolution: ~3 µm
- TOO SLOW for CBM: ~ ms/Mpixel- rad. hard. limited by bulk damage
Improve r/o time, radiation hardness.
Hybrid Pixel Detectors:- fast readout, - radiation hard- larger pixels: 50 x ~400 µm2 - spatial resol.: ~15 (115) µm- thick: standard > 350 µm
Reduce pixel size and thickness.
We started persuing the MAPS option.

Pixel Detector Stations
Detector module: BTeV inspired design
ladders mounted on either side of a substrate providing (active?) cooling.
Active cooling support:
a carbon fibre structure with micro pipes? ~ 0.3% X0
glass or silicon wafers with buried micro channels? ~ 0.1-0.3% X0
CMOS MAPS chips for CBM:
- size: ~0.5 x 1 cm2 - 50% sensor, 50% r/o.- column readout in 5-10 µs
CBM MAPS ladders with 4 or 5 chips.
J.M. Heuser et al. CBM Silicon Tracker 14
Silicon Strip Detector Stations
Basic sensor elements: 200 m thick silicon wafers.double-sided, rad-tolerant. 25 m strip pitch.
Inner : 6x4 cm Middle : 6x12 cmOuter : 6X20 cm
Open questions: strip length, stereo angle
(to reduce fake hits) location of read-out
(on sensor, all at edge ?)
Four detector stations:built from few wafer types
J.M. Heuser et al. CBM Silicon Tracker 15
Tracking in the Silicon Strip StationsCellular automaton/Kalman filter method.
First attempts: Problem - High occupancy with many combinatorial hit points.
Recent approach: - start with long “stiff” tracks- 4 strip stations + 1 pixel station (“no pile-up”)- attached strips are removed - this cleans up the hit pool, reduces the fake strip combinations.
Work in progress.
Ideal conditions: full sensor efficiency, no pile-up:
~ 1% “ghost tracks” remain.

Under real conditions: - event pile-up in pixels - fake hits in strips
At present: - forward tracking hampered by pile-up - backward tracking hampered by fakes - need for clean track seeds
Consider: - more tracking stations - shorter strips – lower occupancy - fast pixels with clean event association

Delta Electrons

Beam ions on target:
produce delta-rays dominate occupancy when integrated over many events.
high local radiation damage hits spoil track finding limits rate capability
Only way out:
Fast detector readout to avoid electron hit pile-up.

Particle Fluence – Detector LifetimeImpact on D Meson Measurements
Fluence at 1st MAPS station, z = 5cm, r = 5mm: ~ 10 1 MeV nequiv per event.
MAPS rad. tolerance: ~1012 1 MeV nequiv. ; development goal: 1013 1 MeV nequiv.
MAPS readout in potentially 10 s. No pileup at event rate <105/s.
The MAPS lifetime is then about 1 1012/105 s = 1 107 s = 16 weeks.
D0→Kπ: 4 10-5 0.038 0.05 = 7.6 10-8 per event. In MAPS lifetime: 7.6104 D0.

CBM Silicon Tracker Requirements- Summary -
Tracking exclusively performed with the Silicon Tracker:Very important detector, key to the physics of CBM.
The Silicon Tracker must deliver high performance: Open charm detection is the bench mark. Pixel planes near the target are of special importance: Thin, small pixels, fast readout, radiation hard.
Such detector does not exist . What comes closest ? What R&D? We chose to start investigating MAPS. Alternative ?
Discussions on latest detector technologies are very welcome!
