The BaBar Silicon Vertex Tracker: performance and radiation damage studies

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2004

The BaBar Silicon Vertex Tracker is a five layers, double sided AC-coupled silicon microstrip detector operating on the PEP-II storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The performance of the SVT after 4 years of running is described. Results from radiation hardness tests are presented and the implications of the absorbed radiation dose on the SVT lifetime are discussed.

Status and prospects of the BaBar SVT

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2006

The BaBaR Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) has been efficiently operated for five years since the start of data taking in 1999. It has met design requirements and no degradation in its performance has been observed thus far. However, because of higher than expected background levels, and anticipated further increases in luminosity and dose rates, we have done a thorough study to assess the viability of operating the SVT until the end of the decade.
