VELO Upgrade II Geometry for Future Upgrades Structure
- New U2 Velo moved from VP to "TV", Timing Velo
- Parameterised model defined in compact/components/trunk/TV/parameters.xml with full instructions on what and how to change the design
- Currently set to "Scenario X" with:
- Pixel Size = 55um
- Inner radius = 7.2 mm
- Each chip made up of 256 x 256 pixels arranged into 2 rows of 3 chips
- Foil is a cylinder of aluminium 75um thick with a radius of 3.5mm, with the same z-length as the current foil
- Guard ring is specifically factorised out with a different, inactive silicon
- Parameterised Model means changing parameters.xml allows quick changes to geometry including swapping in corrugated foil
Other Branches/MRs:
- Gauss: Gauss!1030 (merged)
- Conditions: lhcb-conddb/lhcb-conditions-database!115 (merged)
- LHCb: LHCb!4375 (merged)
TODO:
- Decide on final pixel pitch, foil geometry & z positions of sensors - can maybe merge this already and make such changes in subsequent MR
