20 Tevatron and <strong>the</strong> DØ-Detector<br />

Figure 2.5: On <strong>the</strong> left picture <strong>the</strong> open detector is shown during <strong>the</strong> installation of <strong>the</strong> Inner<br />

Tracker. On <strong>the</strong> right an exterior view can be seen with <strong>the</strong> scintillation counters of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Muon System building <strong>the</strong> outer shell [6].<br />

As a consequence this analysis uses only muon momentum in<strong>for</strong>mation measured with <strong>the</strong><br />

tracker.<br />

The tracker itself consists of two layers: The Silicon Vertex Detector SMT being <strong>the</strong><br />

closest to <strong>the</strong> nominal vertex and <strong>the</strong> Scintillating Fiber Tracker CFT, both displayed in<br />

Figure 2.6. The SMT is <strong>the</strong> high resolution part of <strong>the</strong> tracking system, enabling secondary<br />

vertex measurement, which is important <strong>for</strong> B-physics and identifying b-jets. Since<br />

<strong>the</strong> collider interaction point is extended in z with σ z ≈ 25 cm, a combination of barrel<br />

detectors measuring <strong>the</strong> coordinates r − ϕ and disk detectors measuring r − z and r − ϕ<br />

was chosen. Because of <strong>the</strong>se disk detectors, even particles with large pseudorapidities<br />

can have SMT- hits, thus a specic η-coverage is dependent on <strong>the</strong> amount of required<br />

SMT-hits. The barrel detectors consist of 4 layers of 50 and 60.5 µm silicon strips, most of<br />

<strong>the</strong> layers consisting of double-sided detectors <strong>for</strong> two-coordinate in<strong>for</strong>mation. Each layer<br />

is divided into six segments, 12 cm per segment. All six segments are sealed o by one of<br />

<strong>the</strong> 12 double sided F disks and <strong>the</strong> six remaining disks are located at each side next to<br />

<strong>the</strong> barrel. Four large diameter single-sided H disks enclose <strong>the</strong> SMT at |z| = 110 cm<br />

and |z| = 120 cm, covering <strong>the</strong> very <strong>for</strong>ward η-region.<br />

To enhance tracking eciency, <strong>the</strong> CFT, covering <strong>the</strong> range |η| < 1.62 (with in principle 16<br />

measurement points available), is <strong>the</strong> second component of <strong>the</strong> tracker. This yields more<br />

hits available <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> track reconstruction. The CFT consists of 74, 000 scintillating bers<br />

mounted on eight concentric cylinders at radii <strong>from</strong> 19.5 to 51.5 cm surrounding <strong>the</strong> silicon<br />

vertex detector. The cylinders support a doublet layer of bers and four having a doublet<br />

at stereo angles <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation on z-coordinates. These bers consist of three materials<br />

increasing light trapping and mechanical robustness. The scintillated light is guided by<br />

11 m long ber waveguides to Visible Light Photon Counters, cryogenic photomultipliers<br />

with a quantum eciency of ∼ 70% capable of detecting single photons.
