Dimensions of the outer barrel detectors

  1. Detectors are made out of two sensors, each sensor is made out of one 6" wafer.

  2. The sensitive area of each sensor is w = 93.696 mm wide and l = 91.514 mm long. The width corresponds to a pitch of 122 or 183 microns when the sensor is equipped with 6 or 4 APVs, respectively.

  3. The insensitive region is dl = 1.5 mm along the strips, and dw = 1.35 mm in the direction orthogonal to the strips.

  4. In addition a gap = 0.1 mm is needed between the two sensors.

This gives the physical dimensions for the detector:
