Results of FE65-P2 Stability Tests for the High Luminosity LHC Upgrade
ORAL
Abstract
The high luminosity upgrade of the LHC sets an imperative for readout technology capable of handling the consequences of higher particle interaction rates. Increased luminosity exists hand-in-hand with unprecedented levels of radiation and the need for exceptional logic density to store hit information during a trigger latency period on the order of 10 $\mu$s. The RD53 collaboration has developed specifications for the new generation of hybrid pixel readout chips to be included in the ATLAS and CMS Phase 2 upgrades. The FE65-P2 is a test readout chip fabricated on 65 nm CMOS technology that prototypes these design variants. Objectives of FE65-P2 include demonstrating the novel process of isolated analog front ends embedded in a digital design, known as ``analog islands in a digital sea.'' In addition, the innermost layer of the pixel detector in the upgraded ATLAS experiment will reach doses approaching 1 Mrad per run, and a single FE65-P2 should be tolerant to a lifetime dose near 500 Mrad. This talk will cover the test results of FE65-P2 calibration and stability. The experience gained from such tests will advise the development of RD53A, a large format readout chip to be fabricated in early 2017.
