Introduction

This is a proposal for a Run Plan for the May 2009 3D TestBeam at CERN/H8. The main focus of the testbeam will be the measurement of the 3D sensor characterics within a magnetic field. Sensors will be positioned inside the Morpurgo Super Conducting Dipole magnet (1.9T).

However, if the main focus should be measurements within magnetic field, two new sensors from FBK and CNM will be tested for the first time in beam. These new sensors should be compared to the Stanford reference sensor with magnetic field on as well as magnetic field off.

Sensors

we are planning to test 4 sensors in parallel:

  • Stanford 3E reference sensor (tested in beam in 2008)
  • Planar reference sensor
  • New 3D FBK sensor
  • New 3D CNM sensor

Test Beam and ATLAS sensor positioning

Below is a cartoon of the positioning of the 3D sensors, both in ATLAS (barrel and endcap region) and in H8:

In ATLAS, the magnetic field is parallel to the 3D Electrodes in the EndCap region and perpendicilar in the barrel region. The testbeam will therefore test the ATLAS barrel configuration.
