Abstract
The NA62 Gigatracker is composed of three hybrid pixel detectors in the rare kaon experiment, NA62, at CERN targeted to be installed end of 2012. Each station consists of 18000 300x300 micron large pixels. In order to suppress background events the Gigatracker measures the arrival time of particles with a time binning of 100 ps and correlates them with a ring imaging cherenkov detector in the experimental setup . The system is operating in vacuum at a temperature of maximum 5C. The radiation levels are 10 5 Gy and 2 x 10 14 1 MeV neutron equivalent per cm2 during 100 days of operation. The paper describes the detector system, two pixel-read out demonstrator ASICs and two cooling options which are considered at the moment for final implementation.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
