Introduction:
In January 2009, SLAC people met with Cinzia Di Via, Steve Watts, Sherwood Parker, Chris Kenney and Jasmine Hasi to discuss possible SLAC involvement in 3D sensors activities. Four areas have been selected:
- Systematic tests of 3D devices
- Test beam (preparation, data taking and analysis)
- Proton Irradiation of 3D device and post irradiation bump-bonding
- Tests with "butted" edge sensors
The main goal of the 3D sensor collaboration in 2009 is to validate the 3D sensor for the Insertable B Layer (IBL). The choice of the pixel technology for the IBL shall be made by the end of 2009 or early 2010. For most 2009 tests, the front end chip will be the FE-I3. FE-I4 chips are expected by fall.
