General Purpose Detectors

When it became more and more likely, early in 1980, that an electron–positron collider, energetic enough to produce the as yet undiscovered Z boson, would be constructed at CERN, some of us got together to initiate discussions on a

possible experiment. Some of us who collaborated in the CDHS neutrino experiment were joined by colleagues from Orsay, Pisa, Munich (Max Planck)

and Rutherford Labs.

The first question we asked ourselves was: ‘Can we think of a focused experiment, requiring a specialized rather than general-purpose detector?’

The answer was a clear no, and in fact, no special purpose detector was ever built at LEP. So we started to think of a general-purpose, 4π detector, such as

had been developed at the DESY Petra and the SLAC PEP colliders, but clearly more ambitious in all aspects: tracking resolution, angular coverage,

calorimetry, and particle identification.

General Principle

The dimension of the detector are driven by the required resolution . The calorimeter thickness change only with the logarithm of the energy: for this reason the dimension of the detectors change only slightly with the energy.

Collider detectors look all similar since they must perform in sequence the same basic measurements.

Particle measurement

Detectors must be capable of

Resolving individual tracks, in-and-outside the calorimeters

Measuring energy depositions of isolated particles and jets

Measuring the vertex position.

Detector size and granularity is dictated by

… the required (physics) accuracy… the particle multiplicity.

Size + granularity determine… the no. of measuring elements

… i.e. the no. of electronics channels.

Basic design criteria

Very good electromagnetic calorimetry for electron and photon identification and measurements, complemented by full-coverage hadronic calorimetry for accurate jet and missing transverse energy (ET

miss) measurements.

High precision muon momentum measurements, with capability to guarantee accurate measurements at the highest luminosity using the external muon spectrometer alone.

Efficient tracking the high luminosity for high-pT-lepton-momentum measurements, electron and photon identification,-lepton and heavy-flavour identification, and full event reconstruction capability at lower luminosity.

Large acceptance in pseudorapidity () with almost full azimuthal angle () coverage everywhere. The azimuthal angle is measured around the beam axis, whereas pseudorapidity relates to the polar angle () where is the angle from

Triggering and measurements of particles at low-pT thresholds, providing high efficiencies for most physics processes of interest

The ATLAS Magnet System

The magnet configuration is based on an inner thin superconducting solenoid surrounding the inner detector cavity, and large superconducting air-core toroids consisting of independent coils arranged with an eight-fold symmetry outside the calorimeters.The solenoid provides a central magnetic field of 2T (peak at 2.6T). The peak magnetic field of barrel toroid is 3.9T and of end-cap toroid is 4.1T.

Inner Detector

The Inner Detector (ID) is organized into four sub-systems:

Pixels (0.8 108 channels)

Silicon Tracker (SCT)(6 106 channels)

Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT)(4 105 channels)

Common ID items

26/10/200518Prof. dr hab. Elżbieta Richter-Wąs

Inner Detector

The Inner Detector (ID) is contained within a cylinder of length 7m and a radius of 1.15m, in a solenoidal field of 2T.

Pattern recognition, momentum and vertex measurements, and electron identification are achieved with a combination of discrete high-resolution semiconductor pixel and strip detectors in the inner part of the tracking volume, and continous straw-tube tracking detectors with transition capability in its outer part.

Barrel cryostat

Highly granular liquid-argon (LAr) electromagnetic (EM) sampling calorimetry, with excellent performance in terms of energy and position resolution, covers the pseudorapidity range || < 3.2.

In the end-caps, the LAr technology is also used for the hadronic calorimeters, which share the cryostats with the EM endcaps.

The same cryostats also house the special LAr forward calorimeters which extend the pseudorapidity coverage to || < 4.9.

The bulk of the hadronic calorimetry is provided by a novel scintillator-tile calorimeter, which is separated into large barrel and two smaller extended barrel cylinders, one on each side of the barrel.

The overall calorimeter system provides the very good jet and ET

miss performance of the detector.

Muon Spectrometer System

Precision chambers:- MDTs in the barrel and end-caps- CSCs at large rapidity for the innermost end-cap stationsTrigger chambers:- RPCs in the barrel- TGCs in the end-caps

The Muon Spectrometer is instrumented with precision chambers and fast trigger chambers

A crucial component to reach the required accuracy is the sophisticated alignment measurement and monitoring system

26/10/200526Prof. dr hab. Elżbieta Richter-Wąs

Muon Spectrometer System

The calorimeter is surrounded by the muon spectrometer. The air-core toroid system, with a long barrel and two inserted end-cap magnets, generates a large magnetic field volume with strong bending power within a light and open structure.

Multiple-scattering effect are minimised, and excellent muon momentum resolution is achieved with three stations of high-precision tracking chambers.

The muon instrumentation also included as a key component trigger chambers with fast time response.

Concepts:

– Identify basic “physics objects”

• Leptons, photons, quarks/gluons, weakly-interacting particles

– Classify by ET (& isolation)

– Threshold and multiplicity information used by Central Trigger Processor to select events

– Provide “Regions of Interest” to guide LVL2 processing.

LVL1 Trigger Rates

LVL1 rate is dominated by candidate electromagnetic clusters: 78% of physics triggers
