GigaTracker, the NA62 Beam Tracker
The GigaTracker measures the momentum, the direction and the crossing time of all the NA62 secondary beam particles. It is composed of three hybrid silicon pixel stations and four achromatic magnets. All the stations have a rate capability above 750 MHz, a single hit time resolution better than 200...

Sumario: | The GigaTracker measures the momentum, the direction and the crossing time of all the NA62 secondary beam particles. It is composed of three hybrid silicon pixel stations and four achromatic magnets. All the stations have a rate capability above 750 MHz, a single hit time resolution better than 200 ps and a thickness less than 0.5 % of X = X 0 . The stations’ sensor is read out by ten custom TDCpix ASICs. An innovative microchannel cooling solution is used to keep the sensor temperature below 0 °C. The stations are operated in vacuum and are easily swappable |
