D is taken to be the hole diffusion coefficient: D = 11 cm 2 /s [7] and v dr = µ • E, where the hole mobility is taken to be µ = 450 cm 2 /Vs [7] and E is the electric field per unit length (which depends on the bias voltage). This model gives a qualitatively good description of the beam test data (see figure 4) and tuning of the model parameters is currently under way.…”

The silicon pixel detector (SPD) of the ALICE experiment in preparation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is designed to provide the precise vertex reconstruction needed for measuring heavy flavor production in heavy ion collisions at very high energies and high multiplicity. The SPD forms the innermost part of the Inner Tracking System (ITS) which also includes silicon drift and silicon strip detectors. Single assembly prototypes of the ALICE SPD have been tested at the CERN SPS using high energy proton/pion beams in 2002 and 2003. We report on the experimental determination of the spatial precision. We also report on the first combined beam test with prototypes of the other ITS silicon detector technologies at the CERN SPS in November 2004. The issue of SPD simulation is briefly discussed

“…In each GEANT step, the diffusion variance is evaluated: σ diff = k √ l dr , where l dr is the drift path and k = 2D/v dr . D is taken to be the hole diffusion coefficient: D = 11 cm 2 /s [7] and v dr = µ · E, where the hole mobility is taken to be µ = 450 cm 2 /Vs [7] and E is the electric field per unit length (which depends on the bias voltage).

In this work, the application of numerical device simulation to the analysis of high resistivity silicon microstrip detectors is illustrated. The analysis of DC, AC and transient responses of a single-sided, DC-coupled detector has been carried out, providing results in good agreement with experimental data. In particular, transient-mode simulation has been exploited to investigate the collection of charges generated by ionizing particles. To this purpose, an additional generation term has been incorporated into the transport equations; the motion of impact-generated carriers under the combined action of ohmic and diffusive forces is hence accounted for. Application to radiation tolerance studies is also introduced.
