Scintillating fibre tracker
First SHiP Workshop
Zurich, 12 June, 2014
Vladimir SHEVCHENKO, on behalf of Kurchatov Institute SciFi group,
Moscow, Russia
Warm up: a comment (SciFi–unrelated)
12 June 2014 SciFi Tracker First SHiP Workshop, Zurich 2
Suggested solutions to hierarchy problem:
Version 3. Something is wrong with the states (SUSY etc)
Version 2. Something is wrong with the current (composite Higgs etc)
Version 1. There is a symmetry which keeps
Sensitivity to the physics above UV cutoff

For quantum field theory defined on a lattice with link a :
Actual physical dynamics IS fine tuned:
Lattice here can be seen as a «detector», a measuring devicewhich brings its own storyto the theory.
We know from experiment in all these cases that 1/a terms are irrelevant.
Not (yet) deep enough understanding of quantum field theory?

SciFi spatial resolution (≤100 µm) is more than sufficient to predict τ-neutrino vertex.No problems with radiation hardness, SiPM cooling, overall positioning etc.
2 steps:• Fibre rewinding from a large Kuraray cardboard (Ø 1000 mm) drum to a smaller (Ø300 mm) plastic one, fibre quality control during rewinding.
• Winding process allows production of 5(6)-layer fibre ribbon using the EpoTec epoxy glue impregnated with TiO2 bonding

Winding process:
Fibers are placed in grooves on drum
by precise CNC winding machine.
Pitch of grooves on drum: 275 μm.
Fiber cut after each layer.
Then, fibres are placed in the grooves
between the fibres of the bottom layers.
Tension increased (20100 g) for each
next layer.
5(6) layers wound on top of each other.

LHCb SciFi Tracker production schedule
The SciFi project schedule calls for the R&D phase to be completed by the middle of the 2015 followed by the production phase which should end by the middle of 2017. The fibre and the carrier panel procurement will start by September 2014. With an average production rate of 1 fibre ribbon per day at least two full rate production facilities are needed to comply with the project schedule. One of them is being built at NRC Kurchatov Institute.

Conclusions for SHiP
12 June 2014 21
• The main «propaganda picture» is very nice. There could be something behind it.
• SciFi tracking technology is very nice. We should develop it for LHCb upgrade and use all its advantages in full for the SHiP project.
• Perhaps it is (or will be in some time) worth thinking about focused satelite-based project complementary to SHiP (Space SHiP ?). SciFi is well suited for that (reliability, small mass, low power dissipation etc).
