DESY ZEUS/F1 group detector R&D

Vertex Detector R&D

Schematic of a future vertex detector for a linear collider

The group is actively participating in R&D for a future vertex detector for a linear collider. The extremely well defined interaction point of the linear collider warrants a vertex detector of unprecedented performance. R&D in the group centers around questions related to the socalled "MAPS" (monolithic active pixel sensor) technology. MAPS is one of a few different approaches that promise to provide the required performance. The major activity of the group is through the EU project EUDET. In this context the group participates in building a very fast and precise pixel beam telescope.

Additional resesearch relates to cooling of the detector, mechanical support and overall system optimization using physics simulations. .

MAPS devices have been pioneered at IRES in Strasbourg/FRANCE. Work on MAPS sensors within the group is going on in close collaboration with the IRES group and within the global linear collider detector R&D program.
